Default Corvette Museum

I plan on driving up to Museum week after next. I will be going up to Indiana after the visit to the museum. Do I need 2 days to see the Museum or is 1 day enough. Any problems finding a place to stay for 1 or 2 nights close by? If you have any hints let me know. I will be leaving Florida on Sunday morning so I can get through Atlanta on Sunday hopefully a little less traffic. No night driving for me so staying overnight north of Atlanta and on to Bowling Green from there.Any advice let me know. TIA

One day is plenty. Don't forget to check out the NCM Motorsports Park. It is a nice track. You might even be able to do a lap or two depending on what is going on. I don't have any info on spending the night there. I live in Louisville and it is close enough for me do drive there and back in one day.

Are you coming ip via 85 or 75 and at what time? 75 north from around Morrow Ga at say noon to 4 can be a nightmare especially if the express lane is closed.
As for the museum? One day is plenty....👍

1 day is enough for the museum. I recently stayed at Hotel Sync which is new. Nice place with a garage if you want it.

1 Day is enough if you take your time. Last time I was there I stayed at the Drury Inn, they had just remodeled the place. Its an exit or two from the museum. They had a great breakfast and good free eats in the evening, shared a parking lot with Outback Steakhouse, but plenty of parking for both.

Enjoy the Museum!

1 day at the Museum is plenty. As previously suggested, check out the MSP across the freeway (by way of Corvette drive)
What ever you do, on the drive up or back AVOID the Red Roof inn in Cartersville GA like the black death.
The LaQuinta in Bowling Green isn't bad. There were 4 other people staying there when I did for NCM delivery. It's less than 10 minutes from the NCM (2 exits south on I-65).
Stop at Freddy's Frozen custard for a burger and shake/malt. Incredible for cooked to order fast food.
Join the NCM (for $50). Get's you in free for a year and discounts for merch and the motorsports park, as well as on NCM insurance

The Museum is a great place to visit and yes, one day should be enough even if you take your time.
