Hidden gem! The Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum is an absolute must for any motorcycle enthusiast or history buff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a stunning collection of bikes, each one showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The range of motorcycles on display is impressive—everything from rare vintage models to iconic classics. It’s clear that a lot of passion and care goes into preserving these machines.

Highly recommend this place to anyone with a love for motorcycles or a curiosity about automotive history. A must-visit if you’re...

Add this to your itinerary and you will not regret it!! The guy there was soo knowledgeable, he was very refreshing to learn from and you could tell he’s passionate about what he does. Even you’ve visited before, it is worth going again because they rotate the bikes on display. Almost every bike is accompanied with a short paragraph, and the accompanying artwork and decoration all around the store is fun to look at. He’s very clear and encouraging about taking as many pictures as we want, but no touching (obviously). It’s very nice to be able to walk around, appreciate every detail and not feel rushed.

Take note that it is CASH ONLY as of 04/13/25. We went in the morning near opening, and it got busier closer to noon. Although we didn’t experience a wait to go in and didn’t run into too many people, once it picks up it might feel a bit crowded because they walkways aren’t wide. They kinda just go in a square, so there’s not much space to maneuver around groups or other people. I would recommend going early to avoid crowds, or find a time where you can have the place almost all...

First of all, this place is not for everyone, motorcycle and racing history is the main point to this place. A large private collection of motorcycles with small informational notes for each. Many hard to find bikes from around the world are here, though it's heavily Euro/America focused. Yes, the $10 entrance fee can be steep for those that have a mild interest in motorcycles. Probably a place to go alone if you can get away from your group/family if they don't share the same interests. Save the money. I love motorcycles and the content of this museum was way over my head but I still enjoyed seeing the place at my leisure. Paid for my girlfriend too who walked out after 15min, would have rather spent that on an ice cream instead of wasting it on the admission for her. The staff is VERY knowledgeable about the individual bike's history and the stories behind them. He enjoys answering questions and can tell he really enjoys working at that place with all...
