- SussexMarkBolney, United Kingdom202 contributionsEnjoy the classic FerrarisThe second of the 2 Ferrari museums. This one is a 5/10 minute walk from Modena station so easy to get to. Located in Enzo Ferraris old home and a state of the art complex. Predominately the classic Ferraris and what a wonderful sight they are! Well worth a visit for any car enthusiast.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 13, 2023
- SummerasalifestyleMalibu, California3,550 contributions#2 auto tourENZO FERRARI MUSEO 10 minute walk from train station. Way understated museum from the exterior, but interior is a wow. I got really lucky with a taxi from the Lamborghini museum. (No ubers available ) Part of motivation was the recent lambo versus ferrari movie. So I got to visit these rivals the same day. I think I like Ferrari style more(less flash). (There is a fast train about 20 minutes from Bologna. I took it back) Very impressive museum. Much larger than I anticipated. (Suggestion—add on a Maserati tour, it’s nearby.)Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 10, 2023
- Da RonCroydon, United Kingdom504 contributionsFantastic tour with amazing staffA beautiful way to spend an hour seeming where it all started . The staff where fantastic and very helpful as we where due to attend Saturday , but due to an incident on the trains we could not make it . The staff illena and her team were very understanding and honour our ticket . The local town is beautiful too. We’ll worth exploring too.Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 26, 2023

Loads of Ferraris on display and much to learn about the legend that is Enzo Ferrari-in the place he was bornVisited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 16, 2023
- Kat Simon TravelU.S. Virgin Islands73 contributionsBeyond carsWhat a cool experience! We are not really fans of long lines to see the hot spots, but with some luck and perseverance we got there around 11am and shared the space with a small crowd. The car collection is amazing! The story is inspiring. We definitely recommend this tour if you are in Modena and would like to learn a little about Enzo Ferrari.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten February 5, 2024
- MerrowmumGuildford, United Kingdom1,374 contributionsVery well doneI’m not really that into cars but I couldn’t not go here, really - and I ended up spending about 1hr 45 mins here which says it all. The newer gallery is stunning, beautifully designed and an excellent showcase for the cars. Make sure you stay to watch the multimedia presentation, which I think must run every 30 mins, as it is very well done (although I’d be very surprised if you were in and out of that gallery in less time anyway). There is a smaller presentation, including numerous engines, in Enzo Ferrari’s house and original workshop, now nicely converted. I was very pleased to get a British style cup of tea in the cafe! The shop area is as expensive as you might expect but you can get your photo taken in one of the cars which costs from €15 so that makes quite a nice souvenir of the visit anyway.Visited April 2024Traveled soloWritten April 1, 2024
- GaryMenziesSouth Queensferry, United Kingdom132 contributionsMagical Experience Steeped in HistoryAs with the more publicised Museo Ferrari nearby at Maranello, this place is an absolutely must visit. Situated on the site of the house which Enzo sold to finance his first race car, this place is a much smaller collection than Maranello but no less impactful. A special museum which evokes an unexplainable reaction in someone who's be a Ferrari lover & day dreamer from a very young age. Cannot recommend highly enough and if I can give one tip, limit research before your visit the wonder round every corner was a key part of our experience!Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten April 16, 2024

One tip if you go by train to Modena keep your train ticket you get reduced price entry ticket. For real Ferraris fans they also do a shuttle bus to the Ferraris factory in Maranello and a joint entry ticketVisited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 17, 2024
- Natalie P12 contributionsFabulous place to visit.Great place to visit, and not far from Modena train station where most busses go back to. The size of it is mind-blowing once you get past the curtain! Shop is vastly overpriced (particularly in comparison to Lamborghini!) But still a great day out and full of the history of Ferrari. Would be great to be able to enjoy an ice cream on the seats outside though.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 15, 2024
- El ChevereMiami, Florida9,027 contributionsA Must Visit for Exotic Car FansGreat visit with beautiful cars on display and a good 10 minute video presentation highlighting the history of Ferrari. 2 buildings which one can tour. Close, 10 minute walk from the Modena train station though if you also plan on visiting the Maranello Museum they have very limited bus shuttle service. If you are not in a rush plan on taking taxi, instead, which will cost between 36 and 44 Euro each way. The charming city of Modena is also worth checking out afterwards.Visited June 2024Traveled soloWritten June 19, 2024

I went to the Enzo Ferrari museum today, I must say that the overall experience is superb for anyone who loves and appreciates cars, art or is a bit of a gear head. Getting to see these classic cars, the short film and the effective videos on engine design really was great.
I bought a ticket for the Modena Enzo Museum and the Maranello Museum, an extra €7. I was told by the helpful reception staff that there was a shuttle from Modena to Maranello, I waited from around 2 hours, from 1:30 untill the shuttle arrived at 3:25.
I was the first to get on, but after everyone filed on I found that the shuttle was one person too
many.
Me too many.
I was told on the bus, usually, you buy tickets on the bus as you get on, but today every seat had been pre booked online. I had just simply been unlucky.
The 3:25 shuttle however was advertised as usual at reception and I was still told to wait.
A taxi there is around €32 rather than €6. Money I don't really have.
Public transport according to maps takes 1h 35 - a 3 hour round trip, time I now didn't have either having waited 2 hours for the Ferrari shuttle.
Upon explaining my problem to reception on my return the very professional staff helped me refund my ticket and overall I can't really complain.
I did however waist around 2 hours waiting for a bus that was already full. In future, when the bus is full, it would be great if that was advertised, or rather not advertised so that people don't waist their time and can plan alternative travel. This was the last day that I had free on my holiday and because of this I now will not get to see the attraction I came so far for.
TL:DR
Got told to wait 2 hours for a bus that would arrive full, to go to a museum that I'd already paid for. The alternative travel was too expensive or too slow. As an international attraction, could you please appropriately advertise your bus availability so that customers can effectively plan their day / alternative route to your museum. Or put on more buses?
I want to finish by saying that all the staff I encountered were extremely professional, helpful and spoke excellent English, helping me with my problem and giving a refund.
I'd love to say I'd come again, but then again I don't really plan on coming all the way to Italy just for a bus that might be full.

We stopped by to buy something at the gift shop since it was late in the day and we would not have time to enjoy the museum. The staff was incredibly rude and unwelcoming. The woman standing by entrance asked for tickets and when we mentioned that we were just entering the gift shop she said to us people pay money to take pictures and see the cars. We were literally standing by a wide open entrance that was 20 feet wide with a car visible which my 2 year old kid was pointing at so we took a picture of her. Not even the car but she was annoyed. We then proceeded to the gift shop where my husband purchased a shirt tor 55 Euros. While he paid my toddler was touching a toy car on the floor designed for toddlers. Again the staff was rude and nasty for no reason. Saying she could not touch a toy car that they had placed on the floor within children’s reach. We were there for a total of 15 minutes and could not leave any sooner. A few people leaving mentioned how small and expensive the museum was. Not worth the entrance price. I am glad we did not have time and did not buy tickets. Stay away! Awful people working here.

We drove 160 km to visit this museum as a final part of our two week stay in Italy. A much-anticipated visit was ruined by an obnoxious security guard who three of four times approached my young children and addressed them for no reason. He then told them to get off the grass. What was supposed to be an amazing life dream visit was ruined by the guy with a small man complex.

We took a 2+ hour train ride to go to Modena to see this museum. There were 8 cars … eight??? There were approximately 30 poorly displayed photos of Enzo Ferrari and about 6 artifacts. (A pair of glasses, 3 letters, and a desk.) After walking through the “house” part of the museum we thought there must be many more cars in the other building. Nope - just a 30 minute wait to see a movie. (Which we didn’t have time to wait.)
We were so confused that we stopped in the gift shop and clarified if we had seen the whole museum.
We basically paid €17 each to use the clean bathroom because we walked away completely at a loss as to how the Ferrari family could allow this disappointment to be associated with the Ferrari brand.
Although they get one star for having a purse hook in the bathroom you should definitely skip this one.

We began in the brick building, Enzo Ferrari’s home and his first workshop and factory. It contains his office, which holds many personal items and memorabilia.
The walls are covered in exhibits. The signage is excellent in Italian as well as English. You can trace the development of Scuderia Ferrari, the racing arm of the enterprise, as well as the history of the customer car part of the company. You could spend hours just in this part of the museum.
The self-guided tour moves into what had been his workshop. Here you will find a collection of engines that includes the 1947 “Colombo” V12 which is the ancestor of every V12 engine that has followed it.
The display includes all the engines currently in production, including the hybrid power units. There are also some chassis, historic cars, and a Formula 1 car.
The second half of the museum is in the modern building on the right. The exhibit changes every year on February 18th, which is Enzo Ferrari’s birthday. The theme for the current exhibit is FERRARI – ONE OF A KIND. The exhibit highlights unique Ferraris from the past, as well as examples of one of a kind cars personalized through the Tailor Made program. There is even a room where you can build your very own personalized Purosangue!
Visiting both section of the museum can easily take two hours.
Purchase the combined ticket if you plan to visit the museum in Maranello.

We really enjoyed this museum and seeing where Enzo Ferrari came from. Get the combo ticket with this location and the car museum in Maranello. It's a good value. This museum is more about the art of the cars and less about the racing, though there are some race cars here. However, if you are looking for the racing cars, you will find more at the Maranello museum. But there's plenty of time for both. Note that there is a good cafe at this location.

A spectacular museum that is worth visiting! You will admire the history of the Ferrari brand from the beginning to the present, the evolution over time being found in the cars that you see in the museum. You will also see a projection with Enzo's entire life story in a few minutes. You have the opportunity to take a picture as a souvenir in a photo studio set up in a car by staff of the museum. A little hint: if you chose to take that picture at the end, you have a choice between a bigger and more expensive picture of you or a smaller and cheaper one. I advise you to choose the small one, because after you make your choice, they will send you the pictures by e-mail, anyway. Of course, I won't tell you what decision I made for myself! :-)) Anyway, an extraordinary experience that you should not miss if you visit Modena!

A must visit when in Italy and the Emilia-Romagna region. This museum focuses primarily on the founder Enzo Ferrari and changes often. Since I planned on visiting both museums in one day I was here right when they opened. I spent about 3 hours here just drinking in the beauty of the works of art on display and taking detailed photographs but you could do it in an hour or an hour and a half if you wanted.
For me the highlight was seeing my 2 favorite Ferraris in person: a 1969 GTB4 Daytona Spyder, and a 1984 Testarossa. Why are they my favorites? Because I saw them on Miami Vice back in the day. Never mind the ones in the show were initially knock offs, but hey. The Daytona was in its original condition after sitting in a barn in Japan for 40 years and is waiting to be restored. I also got to see my first F40 in person.
After lunch nearby I headed to the Museo Ferrari Maranello, in Maranello about 13 miles or 20 kilometers away. Both museums can easily be done in a day and I even took public transportation, by bus.

We visited both of the Ferrari Museums while in Modena. This one is at the origional family manufacuary in town and we thought the lesser of the 2. There is a section of just engines in the old factory and a display of street legal cars over the years in the new building.
Free Parking.
There is a combo ticket with the other museum about 20 min out of the city. I believe there is a shuttle?

Nice visit but there were nice cars to see here. We came here as a surprise for our boys who are Ferrari fans. The enjoyed the trip especially the Maranello one. We arrived in the morning having took the train and walked to the museum, which took minutes.
We took the shuttle bus to Maranello which have more cars to see and I think are better of the two, we ended with a simulator experience (at an additional cost). We took the bus back to the Enzo museum. It was nice to see a few more cars there.
It was blazing hot and I went to the cafe to get a couple of bottles of water. I was 2nd in the queue and got my purse out waiting to pay after the 1st customer. However, the lady cashier blanked me when it was my turn and took the order of the family queuing behind me! I thought what’s going on? They ordered, paid and then she moved on to the next customer after them, still ignoring me. I was gobsmacked!! I then said to her I want to pay for the water, she then said we have a queue here, in a very unconvincing way that I think she knew she was in the wrong. I don’t know why she was being so rude, totally blanked me as if I was invisible. She really shouldn’t be serving customers. At the end I put €4 down by the till and left. If management is reading this, the cashier was at the till on 15/8/23, at about 3.30pm. A lady with dark hair with thin lips. That completely ruined my experience with the Ferrari brand and the museums. I was fully enjoying the day my family until that point. Everyone else was so polite and friendly. She was the only let down of the experience.

Hi, our family plan on visiting the Ferrari Museum while in Florence 1/5/24. You mention there are two Ferrari Museum, one in Modena and one in Maranello. We plan on taking the train to Modena from Florence. any advice how to do that would be appreciated. you also mentioned there is a shuttle bus from Modena train station to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, wondering how/where do we reserve for that? which one did you like more? any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Written November 9, 2023
Hi Joshua, I must admit that getting to Modena is not something I can advise on, since I came by car. I do recall the station is close to the museum, so I assume you will manage well. The museum as such is OK, but it is not too much value for money. The Modena museum seems to be the better choice between the two. I hope this helps.

If i were to solo travel from Paris / Milan to this museum, where should i stay? Is it bologna? I think i need at least 2 days to explore lambo, ferrari and pagani. Thinking of finding a centre point to stay. Transportation wise, is jt easy to find taxi there?
Written October 13, 2022
Hi,
Bologna Airport is between Bologna and Modena. If you are coming just for lambo, ferrari and pagani, no need to stay in Bologna. As Jarle (in his answer) said, stay in Modena. My advice you to rent a from Bologna Airport. It will be more convenient.
Don't forget that Ferrari has two museums, one in Modena and one in Maranello. Enjoy...

I’ll be visiting with my 12 year old son, who is a HUGE motor sports fan. Does anyone have suggestions regarding which of the two museums to spend the majority of the time in (the shuttle times don’t make for an equally split day)? If it helps, I’d say he’s more interested in current cars than historical. And is there any difference in the simulator experience offered at each - they’re different prices, but I don’t know if that’s a reflection of demand or quality. Thanks for your input!

Is the museum walking distance from the train station? Is it also walking distance to city center?
Written April 9, 2019
My only negative impression of the museum had to do with the
English translation device I rented. I found the ambient noise level in the museum overwhelmed the audio output so that it was, for me, useless. I am fairly old and my hearing may be a bit suspect but I would try the device out before paying for it to insure that it works for you.
