I can't recommend this museum enough. It's an amazing collection, clearly lovingly created with expertise and care. The history, the detail, the videos of the cars in action...everything was amazing. There's also a small gift shop with unique items. The $10 entry fee is completely...More

Very unique collection

I'm not even into cars but I learned a lot! There are vintage clothing mixed in with antique cars. There are also several informative and interesting film reels that repeat, so you can sit a spell while you take it in.More

Very complete and accurate representation of the birth of the auto industry. Beautiful and well preserved cars with interesting historical stories. Also mannequins dressed in period clothing and several displays of accessories from each era. Can easily spend 2-3 hours perusing the exhibits.

Is there a tour that takes you to the arctic circle by airplane and breaks you back by van and chase for the northern lights? Or is there chasers of the northern lights? I want to take a tour and be guaranteed to see the northern lights.

Both Blue and Red bus routs take you near the museum. I believe that a taxi may be your only other way there. You may also want to rent a car for a day or two to visit Pioneer Park, North Pole and the many great restaurants... More
