Reviews of National Corvette Museum (Bowling Alley)

Laura Clingman

This museum is a must see for Corvette enthusiasts, car lovers and just about everyone else. There is something for everyone to hold your interest. There are interactive displays, videos, memorabilia and so much more. The sinkhole experience is like a Disney presentation. Certainly worth a visit by young and old.

Had a fun time learning so much about the history of the Corvette. The recent sink hole and updated museum portion for it is amazing. The destruction from the sink hole is hard to fathom until you see the cars that were completely demolished by the natural disaster. Some unique sees at this museum are definitely worth a stop ????

If you live close enough, this makes for an excellent 1-day vacation or a good pit stop while passing thru. The cars and history were displayed nicely, and the sinkhole display was incredible. The food inside is really, really good. Lucky for us, there was a car show that same day.

Smaller than I would have thought and some displays were closed. Was surprised they didn't have even one 1963 split window. Interesting they made a whole exhibit about the cave in which we enjoyed parts of. We enjoyed seeing the destroyed cars and the ones that were restored, as well as a video of the process to fill in the underground holes to re make the dome.

Ron Barnes

I don’t know the cost of admission because we were there to take delivery of a new 2022 Corvette and the museum admission was part of that for our group. I’ve been to the museum several times over the past 10 yrs and each time there’s something new to see. In my opinion, that’s important to keep the museum fresh.

Really cool collection of Corvettes from the very beginning to the current models as well as a bunch of concept cars. If your lucky someone will be picking up their car from the assembly plant in Bowling Green and driving it out of the museum. They even have the super rare 1983 Vette (one of one...).

Kayla Amet

Amazing place. Loved it. The "Sinkhole Exhibit" alone is worth the price of admission. ...and you can take delivery of your new Corvette here too!

Bella Blanca Hoffmann

This is the place to be if you love corvettes. I was fascinated about the Skydome Collapse. The museum was beyond worth the $15 per person. I loved how the museum was designed & grew into a more fascinating place from the collapse. Can’t wait to share this experience with my uncles. Sept 2021

Was in the area and decided to stop in. What a cool experience. I have never been a die hard Corvette fan but it was a fantastic display of knowledge and greatly restored and preserved collection of cars. Seeing the ones that had fallen into the sinkhole was also an experience.

Derek Mason

Very interesting if you are into corvettes or American muscle. Only disappointment I had was that it would have been nice to see the assembly line or tour the assembly plant. They have made the floor collapse/sinkhole from a few years ago a part of the museum tour as well as the vettes they werent able to salvage. I would definitely like to go see again and spent some more time going through the exhibits.

Jason Phillips

This was one of the best museum experiences! Being a car guy most would say that but the way that this place is set up is great for everyone and is a great piece of American history.

Salah Shakir

We really enjoyed going through the Corvette Museum. When we walked in...there were 6 brand new corvettes waiting for their new owner to stop in and drive them home...breath taking!! Then on into the museum area with displays that remind so many of us of awesome memories of years gone by. The models from '53 to 2021 and the concept cars are arranged meticulously throughout the entire self tour. It's safe to say you should plan on being there for 3 hours or more. The last part where you see displays of the "sinkhole that rocked the corvette world" ...you see the size of the disaster and what vettes ended up at the bottom at 5:39 am on that unbelievable morning. Lastly...in the souvenir shop...shirts, signs, hats, jewelry, clocks, books, posters and art...great quality and something for all ages. In other words...we enjoyed the museum!!

Rhett Nordhof

Most enjoyable visit. Sooo many Corvettes and some special others. Best part, and saddest for Corvette lovers, was the section dealing with the 2014 sinkhole incident. Eight cars were sucked into the hole - they were able to restore three but the others are also on display. Followers of Corvette racing will be thrilled by the racing Corvette history. Very nice place to visit for the whole family!

Tina Noll

Great place to see and learn about the history of Corvette. Lot's of cars to see, things to read, movies to watch. Lot's of cool facts I never knew. It is a bit "funny" that the museum has been "tweaked" in the past few years to "highlight" the fact that there has always been mid-engine corvette designs around and that then new C8 is not that bid a departure from the traditional front engine. It's almost comically funny. For the record I am perfectly fine with the mid engine design of the C8.

It's a well run and exhibited small museum that is quite interesting. One of the more interesting aspects is the lobby has brand new Corvettes that customers who ordered them can pick them up from the factory at the museum, and have a expert concierge walk them through everything about their new car and then take them on a personalized tour of the museum. We learned this from the ticket person, which was quite fascinating to hear.

Staff went out of their way to please, everyone was super nice. There is a large gift shop as well as a cafe on site. The amount of cars and history on site is pretty astonishing. Also the sink hole and the damage they did to the cars makes for an interesting twist to this building and the amount of history!

If you like Corvettes then you really need to check this place out. Take your time and don't be in a hurry. There are some really impressive autos in the museum. One of my favorites recovered from the cave in is the 1962. There is so much to see. I will have to come back when I have more time. The pictures go on and on. Go check it out for yourself!

Gary Hollander

Beautiful cars. I watched a few new corvettes being delivered...was I happy for those people and maybe a little jealous. The museum was laid out in a thoughtful way, with lots of reminders of how much things in our society have changed over the years, and of changes to come.

The kids loved this place! I thought they'd be bored after five minutes. Boy was I wrong! They practically ran all the way through this place they were enjoying it so much. There's a kids play area with a little service center where they can play auto mechanic, ride in a little pedal Corvette, or get their Kentucky Driver's License picture taken. There's also a spot where you can see where the infamous cave-in was located along with some of the damaged vehicles. It's a really special place to have so much American automotive history being preserved under one roof. The owners of the vehicles are very generous to have their cars on display for everyone to enjoy. It was a fantastic experience. If you love Corvettes or just automotive history in general, you have to check out the National Corvette Museum!

A great museum honoring one of the greatest cars every built.The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It was so much fun going down memory lane while walking through the displays. I have become a Corvette fan again. I was lucky enough to be able to get a ride around the NCM track with race car driver Andy Pilgrim. It was one of the scariest and happiest experiences of my life. I will definitely come back. Thanks J.T. Buck for setting up this visit!

Super COOL place to go! It doesn’t matter if you’re a car buff or not. Or if you are really into Vetts, this place is packed with so much history and awesome cars to check out! The sink hole incident which made history was sad but very glad that they turned the situation into something positive. This was my second time here and enjoyed it just as much if not more! I highly recommend checking this museum out if your in the area or passing by like we were!

Eric Haffner

It was fun. It was very busy when we went. But we still had time to look around. Some of the gift shop was pricey some of it was reasonable. We took a very large group of kids, about 35 kids. The staff was very accommodating with our group size, very friendly, and the kids had a blast.

Tyler Wardrop

I’ve stopped at the museum twice now, both pre and post sinkhole. I’m glad to see that they put the damaged corvette back on display. It is part of the history and worth seeing.

Went to Car Show in the parking lot. Very nice. Had lunch inside and it took quite awhile to be seated. About 40min. Had the Pesto Chicken Sandwich with a side of Pasta. They were very good. Not much of a beer selection.

I would like to have seen the videos or photos of restoration process on the 3 Corvettes that were fixed back to original condition. I had to go find it on internet after visit. I also enjoyed the ride in the 1966 convertible. This was another great experience from the museum visit.

I definitely recommend going here though and will for sure be back sometime after the pandemic!

Really great museum to check out if you find yourself in Nashville and want a break from the bachelorette parties and don’t mind a little drive! Bowling Green is a nice city as well!

Stopped here on the way back from Tennessee to Pennsylvania. This place was very interesting, and not just to the Corvette enthusiast. The sink hole experience was something very different and we enjoyed seeing all the information displayed about it. Especially the cars that made it out of the sinkhole and were not repaired.

Art Long

You should think of the Corvette Museum in the same way you think of the Louisville Slugger Museum up the road in, um, Louisville. If you have no great interest in the subject, don’t bother. But if you love cars (or in the other case, baseball) and have an appreciation for sports cars in general and the great American Corvette itself, this will be worth every nickel and moment. The history of the Corvette, its engineering, its legacy, are all here in detail. And take extra time to enjoy the portions devoted to the Great Sinkhole of 2014, which swallowed eight cars but could have been so much worse (middle of the night; no one there). The Museum turned things to their advantage by rebuilding the exhibit, restoring the cars that could be & still displaying those that could not be, while also teaching a little bit about the geology of the area to boot; remember, you’re not far from Mammoth Cave NP.

Michael Ihnken

This place is a corvette junkies dream come true. 1953 to present day the displays are an awesome depiction of times past when people were praised for their engineering and design skills. Simpler times for sure. Oh and the Ed Big Daddy Roth and Rat Fink cars and art work is sure to bring back a lot of memories for us old timers. The sinkhole is depressing and is all I have to say about that.

Got to come here and even try to win a corvette of my own so hopefully I get that. But I had planned to come see this since my other option of spelunking in Mammoth was out due to Covid 19. Had a great time looking at all the vettes and the Sting Rays are still my favorite though the curves on some of these car were too delicious. Also the artwork in this museum reminded me of a friend back home who takes various old project cars and just goes over the top with outrageous mods that sell in the millions. Also there's a cool international story exhibit here in the Skydome. If you're planning a trip to this area of the states definitely come and see this and if you rent a vette you can park up front. ;)

What an amazing experience! I've wanted to go since visiting Bowling Green, KY last year and the visit was awesome. The history of the Corvette and the Corvette Museum was very educational.

Such an amazing place for Corvette enthusiasts! Not expensive to get in, and once you pay, you can go in and out as much as you want. Lots of history preserved, both old and new. And everything they have preserved from the sink hole in 2014 is really neat. We couldn't tour the factory this time, so I guess we'll be making a return visit! One really cool thing they have outside of the actual museum area are brand new, just off the line Vetts, waiting to be picked up by their new owners. If you hang around long enough, you can watch them drive out, and cheer them on!!

DaviesGarage

Great displays and stories covering Corvettes from their beginning in 1953 though 2020. Interesting how they integrated the sink hole in their building to a full exhibit. Turned a horrible act of nature into a great part of the museum. The food at the Stingray grill was also great tasting and reasonably priced. Had a great time watching people taking delivery of their new Corvettes in the building and driving out. This was a great time so far. We spent almost 5 hours here total and could have spent more.

Mothership for all things Corvette. And plenty of artifacts that emulated the Corvette design. The museum and artifacts were heavily damaged by a sinkhole. Many one-of-a-kind models were destroyed. The sinkhole and these damaged items have become artifacts in there own right. A must for people living the Corvette life. An interesting stop for everyone else.

My brother-in-law Mark was in town for a visit. He has a Corvette on order and we thought it would be great to go to the Corvette Museum for the day. It was a wonderful experience, everyone was helpful and the museum was packed with a multitude of information on the Corvette. There was even a section that contained quite a bit of information on the sinkhole that swallowed up a number of cars. They have the sinkholes damaged cars on the museum floor for viewing. We took some time in the gift shop, it has everything you ever wanted concerning Corvettes. The cafe serves some great food and was a welcome addition to the self guided tour. Make this a pit stop if you get the chance, it is worth the stop.

What a surprise this museum was to me - so much so I took the tour. In short you should go if for nothing else the Americana of it. Then you will find out the fascinating history around the Corvette and the year over year changes and innovations. Like a walk through history since 1952 plus a section on local history as well.

I am very saddened by my experience today at this museum- my kids and I had looked forward to it all day and only had the last 30 minutes to enjoy. I was reminded of that the moment we entered the museum. My kids ran directly for the kids area - I left them there for 3 minutes to take a few pictures. A tall, older gentleman who “kindly” reminded me upon entry I only had 30 minutes, came in to tell me I had 19 minutes. I let him know we would leave in 15 minutes. He then stood there, questioning me, telling me he had to clean up. I asked him if he wanted me to leave and he said “do what you need to do”. So we left. I went back to complain. I told him it was a terrible experience. I was so taken aback that I was shaking. As he continued to interrupt me, he told me I wasn’t supposed to leave my kids alone, I told him that he didn’t tell me that. He then told me it was on the door and not his job to tell me. He continued to interrupt me and I firmly told him multiple times I was still speaking. I let him know he didn’t tell me not to leave my kids alone, but basically leave. I let him know that it was just a terrible customer experience. He said that was my opinion, and I said, no it is a fact. He said, well there are cameras (?). Later, my children told me he approached them in the kids area (I saw him walk in and was 20 feet behind him). He looked at my 4 year old daughter and told her to "go find her mom" - leaving him alone with my 8 year old son. My son told him "we will wait for her here - she will be back in a few minutes". I'm not sure why this man was telling my four year old to wonder by herself to find her mom, or approaching my well-behaved kids at all without a parent present. I would not recommend based on this -I felt threatened and my kids were very disappointed. We were treated so poorly.

If you are a car enthusiast, you would love this museum. All the cars have signage, whether it's some back history or design changes from year to year. The cars are beautiful...vintage, rare and experimental cars! You can watch a short video in their theater about Corvettes through the years and there are also QR codes scattered throughout the area that link you to videos on Youtube that the museum has posted about various topics. The section devoted to the sinkhole disaster that happened in 2014 is amazing...all 8 cars involved are on display (only 3 that could be restored). It took us about 2 hours to see everything...without reading or listening to every video. Before you leave the Skydome, someone will be stationed there to take your picture which will be photoshopped onto a background for a hefty price. The exhibits end at the gift shop. Stingray Gill was closed, so no lunch for us. We would love to have taken the plant tour, but sadly they are not offering those tours for the foreseeable future. I recommend this museum!

Had an awesome time came with my family on vacation was a great experience now my daughter definitely knows what a Corvette is and every time she sees one on the road she's like look mama Corvette Corvette will return learned a lot thanks for the experience!!

I initially came here because my dad wanted me to stop through and just take photos for him (hes a vette junkie and it's his dream to come here) but I actually enjoyed it quite a lot! There is a lot of awesome vehicles here, and I love that they turned the sink hole cars from 2014 into an exhibit. I would definitely come back.

For a car enthusiast it's heaven , especially on weekends you get a car show is cherry on top

This place is awesome!! Everything you never knew about Corvettes. Watched hand delivery of brand new c8's. Drove a simulation of a Corvette on a race track. Learned everything about Corvette from the very first days up to present day. If you like cars at all, this place is worth it. Very iconic and memorable vehicles in here. Admission was only $15 per adult.

Pistol Tingen

The Corvette museum is a place that anyone who loves Corvettes must visit! You can see Corvettes from every era there. I was impressed that a lot of the cars in the museum were owned by private parties who felt that museum was a safe place to keep their cars. It was also amazing how many people donated cars to the museum. Another fun fact is you can have a Corvette built, and have it delivered to you at the museum in a special ceremony! The part about the sink hole is sad but it is a part of the history. I was happy that they were able to integrate it into the museum. I highly recommend you go for the tour! You won't be disappointed ????

Allen Showalter

We were very fortunate to be a part of the 2019 National Corvette Caravan trip to Bowling Green this summer! The timing was perfect as the C8 was being revealed and one could sit in several different cars. There was so much to see and do at the museum. The sinkhole experience was excellent, although so sad to see those beautiful cars all smashed up. If you are a Corvette fan, this place is a must-see!

Really neat place to go. And we had great lunch there too.

Rob Wehrli

I came here as part of doing the NCM Motorsports Park Corvette Experience and also as a Corvette fan/owner. The museum has a great collection of cars and history. I really liked the Motorsports display. The sinkhole section was really interesting and I am glad they didn’t restore all the cars, so that the damage can be shown. They even kept a manhole cover entrance to the bottom of it. I’ll always remember it happening because I ordered my C7 when it happened. They have a big mid engine display happening now with the launch of the C8. There’s lots of prototypes of past work as well the the C8 prototype that was caught driving on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. I was also surprised by seeing the non GM vehicles there, including a 93 Dodge Viper and a Ford GT prototype. If you’re a gear head and are in the area, do stop by!

Excellent way to spend the afternoon. Plenty of car history on hand. By far the sink hole exhibit was my favorite

Garrett Robison

If you want to learn the history of the corvette car, this is the place. A lot of cars to view. The new section about the cave in was interesting. There was a real time video showing the cave in and how the cars fell. It was not busy the day we went. Everyone could take their time reading the history. Fun time for everyone.

Been here several times and it's better every time. If you are a Corvette fan this place is a must!

Rob Widowski

If your a sports care enthusiast or not, you will find this museum worth the effort to see. It was more detailed than we had expected, and gave the whole history around the reason for its creation and history up to current times. The exhibits were impressive and detailed, such as our young teenage kids could understand and follow along. The lay out is easy to follow along and see the progression of the Corvette over time. The buildings and rooms are large and spacious so that it is easy to see most times. The sold corvettes in the lobby awaiting delivery is a neat feature to see cars just off the assembly line and soon to be at the purchasers home. The cafe is nicely done retro style and prices are reasonable if you wish to each lunch there while on tour.

Jeff Kiernan

I have always loved Corvettes since I was a kid so this was so fun for me to see even more history than I didn’t know. It is very reasonable and very good value for your money. Tons of classic and unique corvettes. They really did a great job in the room where the sinkhole was, explaining it and helping people understand the magnitude of what happened. So dad, but very cool to see it preserved and some do the cars restored. I will definitely be back if I’m ever interested the area again.

Douglas Birk

This place is amazing! It's so much more than I ever expected. I've passed it many times in my travels and I finally made myself stop. Walking in, I thought admission would be expensive. It was only $12!! The prices in the gift shop were also priced to sell! It's a self guided tour that I surely made the most of. It took me 2hrs to take it all in! The explanation and exhibits of the sinkhole that occurred in 2014 were fantastic. They turned tragedy into an amazing learning experience. As I was leaving I got to witness the brand new 2020's rolling off the delivery trucks! I will never just drive past this Amazing Museum again and I cant wait to go back!

Gail Olson

Fantastic museum! This is a must see for any Corvette fan. I wish they were still doing the plant tours but this was still a blast. Lots of displays, lots of history, lots of 'Vettes. AMAZING!!!

Doug Light

Great history of the American sportscar!! Had a blast. Saw the damaged and lost Corvettes from the sink hole destruction in 2014. Wonderful and informative place!!

This is a great piece of Americana. They have all the different generations of cars lined up next to each other, all under the same roof. There is a fun sink hole experience that examines the process and aftermath of the incident that be'fell' the museum a handful of years ago. Packed with so much history and the smell of old cars, it reminds me of sitting in my Grandparent's garage watching my Grandpa change the oil when I was a child. Perfect place to take the family and wander at your own pace.

I definitely plan on coming back and bringing my parents ????

Even if you are a casual fan of Corvettes you should take the time to visit the museum. For a very modest entrance fee you can see the history of an iconic brand and vehicle. The displays are well done and informative. Well worth the time.

Hooper Smith

This is the holy place for all Corvette lovers, fans and followers. It's outstanding in every way, rich history behind and the museum showcases everything from start to the current generation of Corvette. The place is huge and friendly people around. Easy admission and check-in process. They also have Corvette raffle tickets - ranging from $25 to $250 As you run through the exhibit, there is a mini theater - very well maintained and comfortable which runs a show on Corvette's history - 13 minutes and is very interesting and exciting to hear it. There is some nice and clear documentation on the sink hole which took away around 8 cars, which are also on display at the level 2. They take your picture just to plant you besides Corvette for fun souvenir to buy later - which we felt is not good quality for the price. The parking area is huge and there is also race track to test drive for a certain price. There is Corvette cafe which we didn't try. The place overall is phenomenal and you could easily spend on an average 2 - 4 hours.

We had no idea that we were going to come across the Corvette Museum when we were traveling from Illinois to Florida. When we came across the signs, it was immediately decided that we should most definitely visit the museum. Arriving at the museum, we were immediately met with a sense of history and passion, as even the outside reeks of Corvette Nostalgia! Heading inside, we were surprised to realize how much bigger the museum is inside, than it seems to be, from the outside! The best thing about the Corvette Museum was that it was so big that it was impressive, yet not so big that boredom could creep in - not for a second! We loved the display of lovely cars, seeing, feeling and touching the history of a true legendary brand, in person, and to just take in the amount of effort that was put into the display! The history of the museum itself also did not disappoint, and it was terrible to see the damage that was caused there, and amazing to see how well it was preserved and presented, without distracting from the beauty of all the lovely cars on display! This is a museum anyone who travels to the US, anyone who loved iconic US brands, any muscle car enthusiast, or gearhead, family or couple should put on their must-visit list, while traveling around the USA!

The movie theater and the sinkhole videos are a must see when going here and do take a bit of time but worth it for a better understanding of the importance of the history of the corvette.

If you have the time, go across the street to Art’s Auto Mart also as it has over 100 classic cars on display.

Glad I finally got a chance to see it! Was it worth the price of admission? Yes. Will I return for a second visit? No, unless I can make a reservation to take my Jaguar F-Type V-8 S on the track. And if you are wondering if that's possible, the answer is yes! So I'm adding a few words to this review (3 years after my wife's and my initial visit). We will make another visit sometime after we take delivery of the 2021 Corvette HTC I have on order. And yes, I'll make sure that when we do, the track will be available for a little fun while we're there! Can't wait!

The most amazing part, aside from learning more about Corvette's amazing history, was the sinkhole exhibit. Simply hard to fathom, even with a direct view of 30 feet below and what's left of several precious cars. If you're a Corvette fan or owner, don't miss the opportunity to visit.

I am not a Corvette super-fan, not even a car aficionado, but something about being here made me like cars even more. The highlight of the visit was technically a low-point for the museum: a sinkhole opened up in one of the galleries and eight cars fell in. How the museum showcased that incident, and their recovery from it, made the visit that much more valuable. Especially because sinkholes are common in this area of the country. Some of the exhibits are a bit dated, but not enough to complain about it. Affordable entry, and an extensive gift shop also highlighted the trip. Didn't visit the cafe, but that is also another nice amenity.

The national Corvette museum was a bucket list item for me for nearly 30 years. On our cross country excursion much of it was planned around stopping at the museum. The guide says to allow 1.5 hours but it took me nearly 4 hours to see everything I wanted and that was taking 300 photos of display signage to read later. Every year Corvette was represented and many of the prototype cars are there. The sink hole disaster was explained with several of them displayed as retrieved and some restored. I wish I lived closer so I could spend more time in this place. I will definitely be back!

Not even a car guy and this was pretty cool. The beautiful cars getting cleaned and sold straight from the lobby gave it a real "I can have this" experience. It was a great experience to walk through the ages of Corvettes and hear the inspirations and minds that shaped the car. Seeing all of the rebuild information and wrecked Corvettes was interesting in the sinkhole experience. The very end of the exhibit was where my curiosity was piqued. Parking wasnt a problem. The drive track near by was fun as well.

Stopped by the museum on late on New Years Eve and as we hoped it was not busy at all, that was the good news. As someone that really enjoys and has owned Corvettes i was really not impressed with the museum. It seems like there were more non Corvettes on display than Corvettes. I know at the time I stopped by they had a special exhibit on Corvette Powered but still not a lot of actual Corvettes on display. We also watched the movie in the Corvette Theater about the history of Corvette that talked about all of the model versions of the Corvette but had nothing on the new C8 Corvette. You would think that since the C8 has been out awhile now the museum could update there film about the Corvette.

If you are a car buff even if you are not Corvette Crazy this is an amazing place to take a pit stop off the highway or to spend the entire day relishing the opportunity to see the history of an iconic American Built Super Car. There is a little something for everyone. Not into cars? They have a great gift store with superb selection and a great inside diner. From the pre delivery area (If you are buying a new Vette this is the way to experience delivery!!!) You see the names of the new owners of these incredibly beautiful cars and the amazing array of options that can be had. From mild to wild, there is the line up. Then you have the entrance to the museum itself. Well worth the several dollar admission price to see first iconic American sporting car from it's original inception to current livery. All of the major highlight cars are featured. Fuel injection cars, pace cars, and tons of rare prototype and design element cars. Even milestone cars such as the millionth car made and a car with over 500,000 miles on it (said to be original). It's so impressive to see them together. The history and development and of course tributes to the legends that made this car against the odds. They have shows and interactive part of the museum. Even a 70's diorama showing the assembly line and how the cars were put together then. They also have the tragic cave in marked out and the amazing, one off, cars that were dug carefully out of the sinkhole. Remarkable and a testament to American resilience to take a devastating loss and rebuild and make it even better. This is why the bad guys will never win. Because we never give up. This museum is a beautiful example of triumph over tragedy. If you are a car guy, or car couple, plan on hours to absorb it all. This is well worth the time and effort to stop. There are also gas stations right near and the actual Corvette Production Facility is exactly across the street (you can get tours but you must call advance and make sure they are open the day you are there). This is a great place to remember the good times or to make new memories with these beautiful automobiles. I took my son and he has not stopped talking about ordering a Corvette since. ENJOY!

You've really got to be a corvette person to enjoy this place. So it's was just ok with me. The grandkids wanted to go. 10$ to drive the vette simulator a little pricey i thought. Really pricey to ride or drive on the big track.

Talk about a head turner! The new Corvette is on full display from the very moment you enter. Two rows of shiny units along with their owners' names and pick up date are listed too. While we were there, we watched a couple pick up theirs and fire it up in the museum. Talk about doing things right! The museum is informative and very interesting. We found the sinkhole section the most entertaining. What you'll notice though is that there are already micro cracks in the area where the original collapse occurred. Seriously! Plan to spend about 2 hours here to properly see the displays and learn about this muscle car's history.

I thought it would be bigger and more to see. You can't touch the cars. Can't get in then. The hoods are not up. Just had higher expectations. Was disappointed.

They have some beautiful cars! We were a little surprised by how small the building really is. There's a good film at the beginning that details some of how the car has evolved and what's next. There's also a race simulator that would be fun to drive. All in all it was worth the trip... especially if you're a Corvette fan!!

Very interesting. The info on the sinkhole was the most interesting for me. Decent value for the family to stop and visit on our way home to Cincinnati.

As a C5 owner I've wanted to visit for a long time but it almost 1,000 miles from home. We got the opportunity today as we were driving right past here on our vacation trip. It was well worth the visit. We got to see all the C1s thry C8. And so many more. Too bad we couldn't tour the factory, as they closed the tour due to working on the new Z06 to keep it hidden from the public.

Had a top notch experience. Rare race used cars plus prototypes Excellent staff. Very clean in my view. Reasonable admission price compared to similar museums. I thought the gift shop was reasonable as well. Won't be my last visit!

What can I say? It's the National Corvette Museum! This is the Mecca for Corvette owners, and enthusiasts. There's more to see, and learn here, than I can tell you. There's no place like this. Plan to spend a day or two, if you make the trek. Besides the Museum, the Bowling Green area has a lot to offer. Plenty of great places to stay, and any kind of food or restaurant that you want. I HIGHLY recommend that you make the trip, to see the National Corvette Museum. By the way, I'm also a Member of the Museum.

Great experience and education about the Corvette legacy. I hope to have a C8 in my garage in the near future!

Love it. I was there years ago before the sink hole, ND it was neat to bring my kids back and see it now. They've recovered well and there's really no place like it if you're into Corvettes. They're handling covid well and very little about the experience was abbreviated or limited. The kids enjoyed the simulator so much that I had to do it, too.

Love this place. Very cool and informative, and was awesome to see the sinkhole and museum delivery c8's

This place was Awesome again, I went 8 years ago and it felt different and unique it really shows the dedication of the staff to changing things up. I got to do the simulator and it was cool for sure. I loved the Le Mans exhibit!

Amazing place for car enthusiasts! They have a impressing display of different Corvettes from 1953 to present day. It was time well spent and the displays are well very informative.

This was a bucket list item of my husband. We had so much fun walking through the museum. I had no idea the many models that existed throughout the years. Well with the nominal entrance fee. Would highly recommend the Stingray Grill as well.

Really liked the all the prototypes. The sinkhole exhibit was a real insight into the geology of the region.

Im not a huge Vette fan, but I do love cars so I stopped in. Glad I did. The best surprise was Ed Roth exhibit is one of the coolest things I ever ever seen. I was so happy I had tears I was holding back. This man is a legend!!

Wonderful museum! And the staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. I figured it'd take about an hour or so to go through and look around. It ended up taking close to 3 hrs! I enjoyed every minute of it. There's lots to see and you don't even need to be a fan of Corvettes. If you like cars, even just a little bit, you will have a good time.

Beautiful facility. I highly recommend this museum. Sandra P. Was very helpful with our pictures. A great employee, patient and friendly everything you could ask for in an employee. The nicest museum I have ever been to. Gorgeous cars!!!

Carol Bennett

This was an awesome experience. I was here on vacation and would recommend it to any car lover. They had so many interesting exhibits and I believe it was $12 to enter. You get a discount with your AAA OR CAA, card.

Matthew Allison

It is truly amazing to have a sidetrip when we are on our way to Chicago from Nashville. Outside this museum is very inviting! Really was amazed and mesmerized by the car displays inside the museum. Place is well maintained and is very clean. Its so inspiring to see the series of Corvette cars. Truly worth visiting! I want to be back here!

Kimberly Gates

Love Corvettes. Saw dozens of fantastic cars. Had a great exhibit showing the 2014 sink hole that opened up under the museum. They still have the cars that were unsalvageable on display.

Charles Sams

This is corvette heaven! If you love the heartbeat of America, then you will need to make a trip here. Very affordable prices for visiting, and a showcase for every corvette or hot rod enthusiast. My family and I walked the grounds and enjoyed all the spectacular cars on display.

If you are fan of cars, do not miss this beatiful museum. It starts from the 1st generation corvettes and continues till today models. The entrance ticket is $15 per person. One part of museum was collapsed some times ago. It was rebuilt now and some signs of the collapse are kept intact, like damaged cars and a hole to show the depth of it. There is a small collection of donations from corvette drivers in the museum that I liked it too.

Kerry P

Really awesome time there! As you walk in, you see all of the new Corvettes going to new homes (those who opted for the R8C package) and the simulator (C6). You also get to see the site of the famous sinkhole collapse in 2014. It is a must see if you are in Kentucky!

Douglas Bingham

Extensive displays detail the history of this American classic from 1953 to the present. Plenty of cars to look at, each having a unique story. The exhibit detailing the cave-in that seriously damaged 8 of the display cars is really interesting (and sad to think of some of these one of a kind cars destroyed). It was cool to see people picking up their brand new Corvettes that they had delivered directly from the factory across the street.

Have to stop here if you love the Corvette, but... it is lacking good flow. Seems a bit random having cool cars & plaques with interesting information. But, where are the docents walking around or leading tours? Headsets would help, too. I feel like there is so much more early history that's missing. And, I feel like more "behind-the scenes" info would really help to elevate the quality & depth of this museum. The cars are gorgeous, the indiv displays are very nicely done, and oddly the sinkhole part of the exhibit is one of the most interesting (really brilliant to have incorporated that as part of the museum)... I enjoyed that part the most. We did the simulator ride (my 12 yo drove & I was passenger). It's OK...definitely nothing great...but it wasn't expensive, he enjoyed it, and it was neat to sit in a newer 'vette. We were there from about 10-1p. In a nutshell, it's worth a stop.
