volo auto museum

I didn't know what to expect going to this place, but wow! This place is great. They have five showrooms packed with cars. There is something for everyone here. A Disney showroom with lots of disney cars and celebrities old cars. Lots of American muscle. Pre WWII cars. Lots of movie cars. This place is amazing, stop by if you get a chance.

Stopped while heading back home from Kenosha. Had family go here but had never came here myself. There are five buildings with cars with another being the military museum. I was amazed at the excellent condition of all the cars especially the ones for sale. The biggest highlight was seeing the movie cars such as the Delorean from Back to the Future and the original batmobile. The bizarre ones like Elton John's piano car and a dragster looking like a guitar are cool too. It was bitterly cold out though the buildings aren't far apart. Would buy one of the Dodge Chargers if I could afford it. There are also displays outside including a harrier jet. There are antique malls for those not into cars and the kids will enjoy the disney area!!

I visited the Volo Auto Museum with my 3-year-old son and my mom. Not knowing what to expect beforehand, I can happily say that we were pleasantly surprised.What You Should Know: You’ll receive a map when you pay for your admission. Keep this! You’ll need it. When I think of a museum, it’s singular. One building. The vehicles at the Volo Auto Museum are housed in five separate buildings, well, six if you count the Military Museum. We visited recently (in the winter) so that meant keeping our coats on because you had to venture outside to enter the other buildings.The Volo Auto Museum is home to lots of vehicles used in popular movies: the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Hearse from Terminator 3, “Grease Lightening” from the movie Grease, K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, and SO MANY MORE!There’s also plenty for kids to love with cars from their favorite movies: Herbie the Love Bug, Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater from Cars, the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, the strange-looking vehicle from Cat in the Hat, and you can even take a picture in the Flinstone’s vehicle that was used in the movie starring John Goodman & Rosie O’Donnell! For a couple of quarters you can also take a spin in some of the kiddie cars on display in the kid’s building, Cars in Wonderland. On your way to the Cars in Wonderland exhibit, you’ll be greeted by scenes from Finding Nemo and Monster’s Inc.!The Volo Auto Museum is also an auto dealership! Hundreds of restored, classic cars are for sale. And for not being much of a car buff myself, even I wanted to buy one to take home!Also, if you’re hungry, don’t forget to visit the whimsical Betty Boop Grill. Reminiscent of an old diner from the past, you can order up burgers, pizza, hot dogs and other seasonal items to chow down.There are plenty of opportunities here for a cute photo op too, so make sure you bring your cameras and a SMILE! I visited with my 3-year-old son in the winter, but I noticed several areas and playgrounds for kids to run around and play in warmer weather. Before you leave, make sure you visit the HUGE Antique Mall located right next door! Over 400 dealers sell their wares at the Antique Mall. Even if you’re not looking to buy, it’s definitely worth the visit.

I visited this museum with my kids this past MLK day I have a 14,7 and a 4 year old and they were equally entertained , we will definitely return over the summer , great place for the whole family.

PROS: plenty of cars to look at; abundant parking; close to nearby restaurants, the selection of cars has something for everybody- it reminds me of the Historic Auto Attraction Museum in Roscoe, IL.; the annual pass can be worth your while if you plan on returning 2 more times. CONS: if you are sensitive to the smell of automotive oil, it may be bothersome in some parts of the museum.

Met 2 nephews at O'Hare and spent the day looking at cars and figuring out which ones we'd buy first if money was no option. Third time I've been there, and every visit has a completely different set of cars on consignment. I love it. My fav antique car place to visit. You can even touch and feel, as opposed to standing behind ropes. Go and play, buy, dream.....

Coolest. Place. Ever. I didn't even know there were that many classic cars in Illinois. 5 SHOWROOMS!! I had seen billboards and heard advertisements on the radio, and I had to check it out. The atmosphere when you walk in just brings you back a couple decades. After you get your tickets, which are decently priced, you walk into a room full of cars I had never even heard of. Duisenbergs. They were absolutely stunning. After that there are showrooms full of hundreds of classis cars. Mustangs, chevelles, corvettes, Camaros. They had cars from movies and tv shows, and a showroom that had famous peoples cars like Oprah and Michael Jordan. Anyway, I would absolutely recommend this if you happen to be in the area, if not it still would be worth the drive.

This was a VERY cool auto museum. We saw a flier for it at a travel plaza and it was on our way to our destination. It was super cool, WAY bigger than I thought it would be. Nice displays and a lot of the items were for sale!

My son and I went for a father son outing on Saturday and found the Volo Auto Museum and unusually fun and educational experience. Our day was complete with a very nostalgic 50's era restaurant as you walk in for tickets, followed by at least 5 buildings worth of classic, one-off cars and a very impressive and historically correct military museum with real military collections and movies documenting WW ll areal dog fights and personal accounts. You can even purchase a muscle car or classic car that are on consignment there. All in all a very memorable and fun time in a relaxed atmosphere. Loved it!!

Fun place for the whole family and you need a whole day to see it, 5 fabulous warehouses full of cars and movie memorabilia. A huge 5 building antique mall. a very nice indoor military display. Lots of neat stuff to buy and if you have the money, buy one of their cars for sale. They have food there and the family pass is reasonable. We go there with an annual pass just to see the rotation of great cars they sell.

A collection of cars from old to new. A great place to spend the day, they have cars from a ton of different movies, and celebrities, to collectible and vintage. The best part is that most of them are for sale, so if ya got a pocketful of cash your in luck! Also has a huge flea market style sale onsite with reasonable prices, selling everything from die-cast to artwork.

Wonderful display of antique and not-so-antique cars brought back memories of teen age dreams for the "hot" car of the day. Well displayed, these cars are up close and personal, clean, and expensive! Special exhibits of TV and motion picture cars were interesting and memorable. Recommend it for families with older youth and teens.

This is a fantastic place! We loved that we got to take photos on the Flintstone car! We had so much fun! My husband is a car freak so this was right up his alley! We both enjoyed seeing cars from our favorite movies! This is one place we will have to stop by again! Was worth the money! A lot of good photo opps too!

Great place for anyone who likes cars, old and no so old, loved the military section, movie cars where also fun, lots of beautiful vintage cars, good place for a day trip.

A lot of different and unique cars and other things. Some are for sale, but most are just for show. It was really nice to see all the different makes and models all in one place.
