Great place to learn the heritage of the Corvette. Has every thing and almost every model you can think of. You can see where they marked off were the famous sink-hole was and the caves underneath. The sky walk changes every 4 months with new displays. The theater is great. Has a restaurant with good food and very reasonable priced. Well worth the visit.

If you want to see all different generations of Corvettes, this is the place. You will learn a lot more about the car and it's history and records it holds. How it almost went from being bankrupt brand to bring an American icon. Staff is very friendly and you can get a lots of nice car pics. Usually not a crowded place, have a cafe and a nice store for souvenirs.

I'm not really a car guy, but this place makes you one. The exhibits are all in such good detail and most are interactive. The sinkhole exhibit is a great look on modern history and has high tech features and excellent stories about the event.

This is one cool museum. I've been going here since I was a kid and have watched the place change over the years. They've got some really awesome cars on display with stories about their history. Post-sinkhole, this place is even better. They've got an outline of the sinkhole and numerous cars on display that were pulled from the hole. That's pretty wild to see. Be sure to visit the souvenir shop and get you a jar of sinkhole dirt for a few bucks. It's a pie e of history and great communication starter on my shelf. Definitely check this museum out. It's part of history. `Murica!

They've redone a lot here in the past few years. The large dioramas are great but you can't get very close and look inside the cars. I would have liked to see more Corvettes. They have the square footage to show many more cars than they do because they've prioritized atrium space, large dining space which was closed anyway, theater space and a way of designing the museum for less than optimal viewing of cars. Hardly any C-4's in the whole place. Not even any car on the glass turn style by the front entrance. Felt more authentic before all the latest changes.
