The Orlando Auto Museum — Attraction in Orlando

The cars are beautiful and the collection vast. The VIP tour is misrepresented, so I would never do it again. We were told we would get a tour of the whole museum and at the end we could pick one car (any car, but only one) to have a photo taken in. This is false. The guide zig-zagged through the rooms and only stopped in certain rooms. She had much of her history wrong (D-day was "Operation Overlord" not "Project Overload" the Monkees were late 60's, not 1976, etc). She kept talking while she was walking away, even after being told we couldn't hear her over the PA music when she did. We were not allowed to have a photo taken with the cars we wanted. There were only 3 allowed cars and she picked them. She yelled at participants who wanted to step on the other side of the chains to take a photo, even if they were nowhere near the car itself. Several people walked away and left the tour early. She told one person they could not take food or drink into the museum, even though it was only a water bottle. We later had lunch at the Bond Cafe. The waiter offered to let us take leftovers in a box. We told him we couldn't because we wanted to go back in the museum to see all the rooms we missed, and it was not allowed. He said that is not true, and the tour guide was wrong. We understand the protection of this expensive collection, but I feel misinformation was given to get the public into paying for the more expensive VIP tour. Definitely...

A very cool museum that car lovers shouldn’t miss I thought the Orlando Auto Museum inside Dezerland was incredible and definitely worth spending a few hours exploring. A friend told me about it, and I was blown away by how big and detailed it is. It’s easy to get to, with plenty of parking right outside. The museum itself is massive and includes over 2,000 vehicles. What really stood out to me were the themed areas—you can walk through rooms filled with classic American cars, European models, motorcycles, military vehicles, and even rare micro-cars. There are also movie and TV cars like the Batmobiles, James Bond’s Aston Martins, and even Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1. One of the biggest surprises was seeing the world’s longest limousine—100 feet long! The layout is well organized, and each area has signs and background information that make it fun to learn while you look. It’s also air-conditioned and not too crowded, which made the visit relaxing. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just curious, the Auto Museum is definitely worth checking out. Admission is separate from the rest of Dezerland, but it’s reasonably priced for the size and scope of the collection. I’d gladly recommend it to families, collectors, or anyone who loves cars...

While it is called a museum, it is really a private car collection that you can pay to see. It is housed in what had been an abandoned mall - lots of rooms (former store spaces) housing cars divided by country or decade. Lots of beautiful cars but - just cars - no information about them, a couple of cardboard cut outs of Charles and Diana in the room with cars from England, some terrible mannequins of what I think were supposed to be Sammy Davis Jr & Sinatra. Cars from tv shows and movies. No classic American cars like GTO or Firebird. No racing cars which my grandson was primarily interested in seeing. The building has a ceiling that is about 30% glass so it’s bright but it’s also really hot and the a/c could not keep up. The restrooms were down locked halls and none of our wristbands would work to unlock the doors to allow us out of the restroom hall. I had to call security to have someone open the door - fortunately for us, after 5 or 6 min, one of our wristbands worked. I told my party to continue and I d catch up after security arrived to let them know we got out. It was another min or so before he strolled up with absolutely no sense of urgency. There was only a few places to get anything to eat or drink. Overall a...
