What people say, in short
Visitors recommend this vintage-car collection as a lesser-known museum worth seeking out. One person was impressed despite not being particularly interested in cars. A parent reports that young children loved it, though the short stay felt expensive; another cautions that it is more for looking than touching. One visitor found it nearly empty on a weekday. The appeal is the collection itself, not a hands-on children's activity.
