As the Ambassador to the NCM for our local Corvette Club, I am there at least twice a year every year. Always something new to see, and great people. If you love Corvettes, it's a must-see for sure.

Last time I went I really enjoyed the "story/display talking about the color blind painter in the assembly line paint booth."
Definitely worth the visit!

About 6 times in the past 2 years - happen to have business in BG, KY. The experiments in Mid/Rear engine design are very cool. Hot Wheels going on now!

Always love to see the "Starting Grid", that is the new cars set for delivery in the upcoming week. The new owners listen so carefully to the detailed instructions by museum employees.
Lunch at the Stingray grill is excellent!

Love that they start with an MGTC, the start of Sports Cars in America in the Museum.

The history is rich.

When I went to the 25th Anniversary in 2019, I was truly blown away by the history of the American Icon. What caught ;me up short was the 1953 ThunderBird to start the procession. It got to the point I could not take anymore pictures I was so overwhelmed with what I was seeing.

Been there many times. Some of the displays do change and you can check the website to see what is going on. Did Vets n Vettes for several years and had a great time. I do need to go again.

Went there and it pushed us over the edge and we bought our first Corvette. We have been back several times once for the delivery program which is well worth the time. Still a member, bought a brick and just got back from there the middle of May this year
