I treated my husband to this museum as we were at Hershey and he loves antique cars. It was so well done; each room featured a time period, a style of car, a type of transportation, etc., that was so unique. When we went, they were featuring cars that were in original condition that were still in excellent shape. Some of the cool things that we saw at this museum were a replica of the bus that was in the movie Speed, the bus from Forest Gump (we had our pictures taken from the back window where Forest's friend, Jenny, waved goodbye as she left town), a replica of a minature diner, antique riding toys, etc. The staff were very helpful and kind. The museum itself has a lot of people who are invested in it and you can even "adopt a car" (basically sponsor the upkeep of a chosen vehicle). They also had a train display in one room which was also very well done. One of the best experiences with antique cars, etc. that I have had.

My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised by how neat this museum was. The exhibit on "orphan" cars was really interesting. There were several interactive exhibits and she loved the diner exhibit and model train exhibits in the basement! In the diner there was a working juke box feature with music from the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's that you could play for a dime per song. The model train set had lots of interactive buttons to push. We enjoyed going through the buses. There were several fun photo ops. Half a day was the perfect amount of time for us to enjoy this museum. There is a vending machine area with tables in the basement if you need a quick snack.

I really just fell in love with this place. I was very impressed with how they have everything displayed. Very clean!! I loved the Tucker exhibits. From all the horse and buggy days to present there is something for everyone. There is a machine for you to make that AACA penny very cool! lol yeah! Gift shop really nice too. They did let us know that about every 6 months they change things around so all new ways for you to see this museum if you travel during different times of the year.

Absolutely the best car museum we have ever been to!All the vehicle displays were awesome with a great variety of cars. The added bonus was the train display and the gentlemen who volunteered were a wealth of information. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Loved everything about this museum!
We parked in the spacious lot, greeted by front desk clerk who us pointed to the starting direction and we delighted in the entire collection of cars, buses and motorcycles PLUS extras!
Three floors, immaculate thanks to the young man pushing the cleaning cart and picking up every speck! Good job, sir and thank you for your service.
The volunteers were priceless with their knowledge of the vehicles and history of the building since it’s inception. Little details we didn’t know like the introduction of the luxury TUCKER cars and their path into the car museum.
The buses in the basement floor from movie ‘Speed’ to the bus from movie Forest Gump.
Indian motorcycles and ATV plus assorted mini bikes and more.
And Flossie’s manufacturered diner with everything still frozen in time from 50’s. It reminded me of a simpler and basic time.
We spent about 3 hours in there then headed for lunch.
Well worth the $14 entrance fee.

Had a great time at the AACA Museum on Saturday, Nov. 14th with my wife. The history, the cars and buses were amazing. I particularly enjoyed the muscle cars and the Turn of the Century cars (1900-1920). They had buses on the lower level and they were awesome! The exhibit on Road Maps was cool also because of the artwork and detail that is missed using modern day GPS. I recommend that you go to this museum if you are a car lover or history buff. I am considering an annual membership since we don't live far and they have new exhibits and cars semi-annually. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and made our visit special.

Great place for car lovers! Three floors full of all types of old cars, motorcycles, vans and buses. On one of the floors it had a large train set up with petals the kids step on for motions and lights. The kids love that part.

This is a very good museum. Clean and spacious. The exhibits are all well explained with the signs. The museum displays several interesting and unique vehicles. I was especially interested in the Tucker Automobile exhibit and the bus display.

We visited as part of our 3 day trip to the area. My husband is a car fanatic and we have been to a few shows and museums. We brought our toddler (luckily we were one of just a few families in the museum) and he keeps asking to go back. The museum was very clean and the employees were nice and friendly. The bottom floor had a huge train table with moveable parts and the ability to step on the pedals yourself. It was a great experience. Definitely worth visiting.

The AACA museum is large enough to house quite a few different cars and displays, but small enough that you can tour the whole place in 2 to 3 hours... AND they even have antique buses in the basement that you can actually board. The cars were awesome and the displays, such as the 40's diner with a complete interior, was great. We met some wonderful volunteers that had knowledge of all the cars which made our visit even better. If you have a few hours to spare, I recommend you visit here. Oh, they even have a train display and some things for 'youngin's' in the basement too!

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you had a great visit. Remember, we change up about 70% of the vehicles on view every six months so come back soon to see more!

My great uncle is a member of the antique automobile car club and he says his name is on a plaque at the museum. He said he would like to see the plaque, but he is in his 80''s and can't get around well. Can you find the plaque and take a picture of it and e mail it to me? His name is Wayne Weber. My e mail is wweller29@yahoo, you get the rest Thanks ever so much! -Wendy

I bet if you called them, they would take a picture and send it. The museum is staffed by great volunteers.

We will be there with our 5yr old daughter & 3 yr old son. Is this a good place for them? Enough to do?

Well lots of cars may be boring for kids but they try with some interactive stuff and great train set in the basement.

is there food for sale in the museum like a snack shop or restuarant?
Written December 4, 2016
Not a snack shop, but there are vending machines downstairs. Surprisingly, the Nescafe coffee machine is quite good! I had 2 cups!

How much time should be plan to spend in the museum? Thank you,
Written August 11, 2016
We were there for well over 4 hrs. There is an amazing collection and the volunteers there are good at sharing the history of the cars with you. I must have taken 50+ pictures and could have taken more for my husband. A good afternoon. Probably the highlight of His trip.

Coming to Hershey in Oct. What are the must dos for 2 days?
How much is this museum, the Factory Tour, Theatre, Amusement Park (and is the Zoo included in that or an extra charge)?
Thanks so much!
Jo Anne
Written September 7, 2015
Park tickets available on the park app, I recommend that by the way. Helps you find your car if nothing else. Zoo included in admission price but it's a pretty horrid little thing.
The ACCA museum is $12/pp for adults. Well worth it.
