Bowling Green
I will be in Ohio in a few weeks time, not far from Bowling Green.
Does anyone know if it is possible to visit the factory / museum there?
If so is it open weekends or only weekdays.
Thanks,
Alan :rolleyes:

Re: Bowling Green (AlanBirch)
I can say without a doubt that you are looking for Bowling Green KY. To answer your original question, yes you can go into the museum any weekday, and I know Saturday, maybe Sunday. I think you can even get a factory tour any day as well. Even if you can't take the factory tour it's not like it's out of the way, about 1/2 mile from the museum.

Or you can call 1-800-53-Vette. (number for Museum) They should know when and what time the plant will be open for tours around your visit. Yes, it is in Kentucky. We use to live in Ohio, and by the speed limits it takes around 3 hours. I've made it in a little over 2 but that's another story. That was from near Cinncinati so your time may vary.

It took me somewhere around 3 1/2 hours to get to BG from Cincinati, OH. The museum is only on the weekends, but I don't think the factory is.

Re: Bowling Green (AlanBirch)
I don't think that the factory is open on weekend's for the tour. Make it a point to try to see both the museum and the plant. It's well worth it.
