Visited this on Saturday. We showed up shortly after opening and timed it perfect with the beginning of the tour.
Would have been challenging to get much out of the museum without a guide, so highly recommend you attend during tour hours.
Tour guide was very informative and interesting.
Some great old history here. The tour is not overwhelming. But the tour guide was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Several really old cars in original state and many others worth viewing.
What a great experience! I can't believe I didn't know about this place. Incredible architecture and spectacular vehicles standing the test of time, impressively preserved and presented in an important and educational historical setting. Take a tour for yourself sometime soon, they need to get back to normal too!!
Great place! Take tour! We had knowledgeable, passionate tour guide. We had nice time.
Didn't put 5 stars because felt that it was a little too long of a tour and by the end of it half of the people left.
This experience was amazing. Let me say, when we first walked in, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. The displays around the entry were fine, but nothing to get super excited about. That changed pretty quickly once we met our tour guide, Tom. This man had an encyclopedic knowledge of Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford, and the Piquette Avenue building as well. In addition to his knowledge, Tom was funny and engaging throughout the 1.5 hour tour. My only complaint would be that the tour wasn't 2.5 or 3 hours long. Tom's enthusiasm for the people, cars, and plant was genuinely infectious and I could've spent the whole day looking at cars (and I'm not really a "car guy.") Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.
