Really great museum with a massive antique mall attached. If you love cars and American history, this is definitely a place for you. There are 5 buildings full of cars and, as a bonus, they have exhibits of old snowmobiles, motorcycles, tractors, train cars, and even RVs. I have to preface it and say their navigation is so well thought out unlike many other outdoor museums. You can't get lost here - the arrows are literally painted on the ground, everywhere.
As you go through the museum, you can see old canestoga wagons, traveler's cabins, and... even jukeboxes.
But the most impressive and memorable part is all the classic cars restored to perfection and their cinematic car collection. Batman, Back to the Future, Mad Max, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, Terminator 3, Fast and Furious, Gone in 60 seconds, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, James Bond, Ford vs Ferrari cars... I don't think I've seen so many movie cars even in LA at the Petersen Automotive Museum!
A cherry on top is celebrity car collection like Britney Spears's Mercedes CLK, Princess Diana's Rolls Royce, or Elvis Presley's Cadillac. Pretty impressive!
If you're an adult, you probably don't need Jurassic park pass, but get your Titanic add on. Really interesting stories and exhibit.
Lastly, there's a big antique mall in the end. Like 3 buildings worth of stuff from the last century. From household items, to clothes, to gaming consoles. I think I spent 2 hours wondering around the mall out of 4.5 hours total at the museum.
All in all, a fantastic museum and worth a visit and drive 1 hr north of Chicago. Highly recommend!
