We loved the museum! The staff was so nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. The museum's display of cars is both beautiful and extensive. The buildings and barns that hold the cars are beautiful and well maintained. Our 8 yr old enjoyed the interactive activities located throughout the museum. We've visited a few auto museums, and the Gilmore is definitely one of our favorites.
This place is a bit of heaven on earth. I have been 4 or 5 times and it is always wonderful. People are friendly, the exhibits are amazing and the cars are happy...you can tell, because they are well cared for. Wednesday night cruise-ins draw hundreds of local cars. Everyone is having so much fun that cell phones are forgotten. People are taken to a place and time were they can learn and reconnect with history and each other.. Go any chance you get!
Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners is one of the BEST vintage and collector car museums we have ever visited. This museum contains over 400 vintage and collector cars and is spread out over a large area somewhat like 90 acres so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk. The museum was not crowded and you can get up close and personal to these vehicles. This is truly a hidden gem of Michigan and even if you do not like cars, it is a fun place to visit.
Very nice museum with a wide range of vehicles. The property is huge and the events they have all year mean you can see new things each time you go. The price is not bad. Bathrooms are nice and staff are knowledgable and friendly. $16 for adult, $11 for 11-17 and 10 and under free. Free wheel chairs and some electric scooters available.
If you love old Cars this is the place! This Museum has a great layout for displays. Several buildings featuring different brands. Consider visiting with your car buffs. Make sure to visit the dinner for great fresh baked pie alamode. Consider a buying a membership for multi year visits.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$31+
So many fabulous automobiles in a great setting wandering on our own at our own pace. Then joined a wonderful tour of a couple of other buildings only given on Tuesdays. Thanks Steve P. Can't wait to return in the spring when the remaining buildings reopen!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$16–20
Fantastic museum for car lovers. A little bit out of the way but it's worth the drive. Museum is in multiple buildings so dress appropriately. Touring the buildings takes at least 3 hours - much longer for car lovers. Must see museum!
This is by far one of the finest car museums in the country. They have multiple buildings to highlight and have examples of many different kinds of vehicles. And they are in the process of building a muscle car museum of the finest sort. This a MUST visit if you are a car enthusiasts or just love the history of the developments of the automobile. They also have the finest car shows in West Michigan.
Such an amazing museum! The entire facility is well taken care of and has amazing accessibility for those those in need. I look forward to visiting the Gilmore Car Museum every year! Never gets old. A++++
If you can plan your trip here well in advance, you can try to access special features they offer. Be sure to visit the website to see the full list of options on certain days and times. I took my father here and participated in the Model T driving school. The experience was fantastic and well worth it. We're going to have to go back again because we didn't actually see all of the exhibits due to the couple hours the driving experience took. The museum and the exhibits are impeccably well maintained. The outdoor paths are smooth and well cared for as well. The 1940's diner was beautiful and a nice touch added to the property. The staff was beyond helpful and knowledgeable. It was easy to see that even the volunteers there REALLY enjoy being a part of the Gilmore experience which makes the visit even more pleasant. One small touch I appreciated was that in each building/section there were at least a couple places that my dad could sit down and rest for as long as he needed and most of the time the spot would have a spectacular view of whichever collection you were currently viewing...so it was like he was still actively a part of the visit during those resting times. I highly recommend the Gilmore Car Museum.
