The Brumos Collection — Attraction in Ponte Vedra Beach

This place is a hidden gem. I can't stress enough how neat this place is. Car fans, speed junkies, and history buffs will all find something interesting here. Good location for family visits, dates, weekend trips, and special events (they offer venue hosting). The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, and kind. They obviously love what they do and it's infectious. There are no guided tours (which is preferable) but the tablets and various signage give you more than enough information. We learned a great deal and had fun doing it. We were told the collection on the floor is only half of the collection and it changes from time to time! Meaning this place is worth multiple visits.

Tickets are extremely cheap for the experience you get at about $25 per adult, $20 for seniors/military, and $15 for kids/students. Rare in this day and age. You can go as fast or slow as you'd like through the place. If you move briskly, you can finish seeing everything in about an hour. If you take your time and read everything you could end up staying from 2-3 hours.

The location is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and truly special. Located in a residential area, this location is a pleasant surprise. The signs and the very beautiful large custom metal gate clearly mark the entrance. A gorgeous lake with fountains and a huge '76' ball greet you once inside. Follow the road to parking. There is plenty of safe, private parking directly out front. Extremely clean bathrooms and main areas. Well-maintained environment. Fully air-conditioned, indoor experience. Wheelchair accessible from start to finish.

They keep all the cars as close to original specs as they can; doing all the work in-house and sourcing original materials. In fact, you can walk into the shop area and see them working in real time. You can get very close to, and even look inside of, the many display cars on the floor. Naturally, all they ask is that you don't touch. These cars are a piece of history and truly incredible to see in person. So much history and information to absorb here.

They have a licensed gift shop with actual licensed Brumos products! You can also access the products through their website. We elected to get a Porsche t-shirt showing many of their models over the years. They have something for everyone. Model cars. T-shirts. Hats. Puffy coats. Key chains. All rare licensed, merch. Be sure to get something to remember your trip! They are only open Thursday-Saturday, so plan accordingly. You can always order goods on their website though (I was told).

I was not paid or asked to post this review. I just firmly believe in giving credit where credit is due. Especially to a business that deserves it. This place is worth your...

I had the great opportunity to visit this special place the Friday leading into the Rolex 24 weekend a few weeks ago. It's truly one of the great and new must-see attractions for any motorsport enthusiast no matter how long you have been following the sport. The building, both inside and out, is simply stunning. It gives off the old-school German garage feel with brick walls among other unique designs. Every car is not sectioned off by rope either, so you could get closer to each vehicle (obviously without touching them). The collection of cars, from the pioneers of the automobile from the late 1800s like the 1886 Benz all the way up to the melodic 2017 GTE Porsche 911 RSR, is fascinating. Each car on display has an incredible story to tell and really showcases the amazing history of both European and American motorsport. The even more remarkable thing is that almost every car in the collection still runs and drives! Simply put, you have to experience this amazing place. The staff is great to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, and share the same amazing passion for this beautiful form of engineering as the people visiting. I will...
