this was my first trip there which was combined with a car show, goodie bags, perfect weather, trophies and included access to all 12 bldgs of cars. i guess if your looking for a show car, maybe worth checking it.

I feel it’s worth the trip, though I like to go in winter when there is little else to do.

Those pictures are from the “Hollywood” section, there are multiple buildings and this one is a bit “hokey”. The rest of the place is chocked full of classics and muscle, most of which are for sale.

There is a Military building full of vehicles and historic memorabilia. That is a good learning experiences for kids.

For the Ladies there are several buildings full of antiques (not cars) and flea market type items.

All we need to do is agree on a date and we can visit and perhaps do lunch. Suggestion’s welcome…

Everything about Volo is WAY cool and I go there at least once a year to take it all in over the last 20 years. The WW2 display they started several years back is outstanding and the Nostalgic walk down memory lane is great, and the fact that 99% of all the cool cars there are for sale is REALLY neat!
