Just wondering what the best day of the week to visit the museum is, if there is any difference? My options will be Friday-Sunday. Thanks in advance.

It will be the same stuff on display all 3 days. If you are talking about crowds, to give you a reference here, I was there the Sunday before memorial day last month and it was very busy but I had no problem getting around and viewing things. Good luck.

I guess it would depend on whether you like crowds or not? A little bit of weekend Summer buzz of fellow attendees isn't bad, but even that may have limits to your liking? I did a museum tour in the dead of Winter on a weekday afternoon, on a cold January day. It was deader than Kelsey's nut. Parking lots totally empty except for my small diesel RV I travel in. I got to tour in the peace and quiet of a dark funeral homesque environment at mid-afternoon. All things considered, I'd of preferred some visitors present. The good news was that I got in free from the admission charge, by furnishing the two admission attendants with frozen ice cream Drumsticks, from my coach freezer. Saved some real coin on that visit.

Any day is a good day. Our last visit was before they filled the sinkhole. I like it when some fellow Corvette owners are there.

I went on a a Friday in April, it was lightly trafficked at best. Not sure since summer is here if that would affect it.

Any of the days will be great - lots to see. Crowds may be bigger on Saturday, but it will be manageable.

Friday probably less crowded than the weekend but that would be the only difference. Lots of good stuff in the gift shop some of it actually reasonably priced.

My experience from two separate middle of the week visits, both in September. One was quiet, one was a bit busy. I my small mind it's just one of those "Give it shot, and roll with the outcome" things. But, we had a fine time on both visits.

Visited the museum on Fathers day and it was not crowded at all. However there was an event at the Motorsports track, so no Corvette track opportunities available. Also no one was at the Kart track. If you want to do more than just see the Museum. call ahead to find out what is going on at the track that day.
