I've absolutely jumped on the Volo band wagon - this place is fantastic! It was such fun for all of us.


The Volo Auto Museum houses cars from almost every movie & television show you can remember: Back to the Future, The Cat in the Hat, Dukes of Hazzard, Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, Herbie Goes Bananas, Blues Brothers, James Bond, The Munsters, and on & on. But the biggest hit with my kids was the full size Lightning McQueen and Hudson Hornet. Really too cool...


The showroom also displays fully restored cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I loved looking all the old cars that I'd heard about but never seen outside of a Kojak re-run. And they are all for sale. So if you have $70K lying around, a convertible Chevy Belair can be yours!


The museum also has a military exhibit, featuring a helicopter used in combat in Vietnam and a tank captured in Iraq.


There are coin-operated cars the kids can ride for fifty cents and a number of jungle gyms to climb.


It's not often my husband is jealous of our outings, but he was this time!
