    Gorgeous cars and antique buses.
    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!

    Great time, Great Exhibits, and Great Cars
    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.

    Fun Way to Spend the Afternoon!
    My husband is a museum buff whereas I do enjoy going to museums but not reading all the displays. My husband reads everything. I must say though I am not in cars this particular museum was great!!! I enjoyed the cars through the years. On the bottom floor there were buses used during movies! There is a huge interactive train display, too. For someone that walks quickly through museums, this one held my interest. I highly recommend it.

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.

If you love old cars you will love this museum. Not only do they have a beautiful display of so many antique autos, there is also a terrific display of busses and other modes of transportation. Their model train layout is excellent with so many interactive displays all in beautiful working order.
From motorcycles, cars and don’t miss the special Tucker display. All the automobiles are in pristine condition and there are many interactive things for the younger age group.
A must see if you are in the area.

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 building is pretty large. It’s one of the biggest automotive museums in the US. The featured collection right now is all about vehicle with “hemi” engines. Very educational. I always though Hemi was just a Dodge thing but it goes way beyond Dodge. I’m not a mechanic but this would have been a drool fest for those who fully understand the combustion engine. There are 3 floors to explore. The rare cars they have are beautiful and well kept. Some really neat makes and models I had never heard of (Tucker, etc). It was about $10-$12 a piece for the 4 of us to get in. It’s a neat exposure to the progression of the auto industry.

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.

If I could give it 10 stars I would! This is one of the best car museums we’ve been to. We are both car enthusiasts and were so impressed with the selection they offered. You could spend hours in there reading and looking. If we are in the area again we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place!

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.
