REVIEWS OF Forney Museum of Transportation IN Colorado

Eric Kritz

This wonderful museum offers the unique opportunity to see one of the remaining 'Big Boy' locomotives that ran heavy freight loads between Cheyenne and Ogden. This, along with an amazing collection of Studebaker automobiles make this museum a unique, must-see visit for any rail or car buff. Highly recommended!!!

Tana Perkins

Neat little place nestled in over near National Western Complex in Denver. They have some pretty neat items that we've not seen at other museums, including Big Boy, which we were there to see. Automobiles are the vast majority of the museum (very few planes). Pretty cool flow though, as the museum starts with very early transportation and moves through the ages. The children enjoyed it, but have a shorter than adult attention span and were bored about half way through. TIP: Don't miss the little train table in the gift shop. For a quarter, the kids can drive their own train. Pretty neat for adults and kids alike.

Charles Daves

Great place to spend some time!

Shannon Gerdel

All kinds of trains and automobiles . There is a Big Boy steam locomotive there.

Shubham patil

Amazing collection of vintage cars, bikes and bicycles. The place is in Denver Downtown. I had some time to kill during layover and visited this place. The entry fee is $12 per adult and it is worth it. You get to see vintage cars along with their stories. Some cars are donated and they have a proper documentation of who was the donar and when was it donated. Some cars stay for shorter period and get moved to another museum to display. If you are a car enthusiast, please do visit this place.

Nancy Henderson

Small but they have a very good selection!

Paula Silva

Didn't find herbie. . . but there is so much in there that who knows where he is! Could have spent days in here . . . and I'm not even a car enthusiast.

Mark Joseph

Great collection of vehicles: cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and more. Most of the vehicles are well out of reach for obvious reasons, but it makes appreciating some of the vehicles difficult.

Haley Martin

LOVE! It is so amazing to see so many beautiful vehicles in one place! Its not too expensive and a great stop for any lover of transportation!

Robert Nuno

Very cool collection. There are 3 rooms. Die-cast room, cars, trains, and other vehicles and motorcycle / bike room. Very cool for anyone who like likes any of these things.

John Harrison

Wonderful display of trains, planes, automobiles and motorcycles, showing rare vehicles not seen by many. Affordable, walkable, enjoyable. Spent 1 1/2 hours, could have stayed 3 hours. When in Denver don’t pass up this bit of history. Your understanding of transportation in America will be enhanced! Reminds me of a smaller version of The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan.

Aaron G

Amazing collection and so well curated!! Met a couple with 2 pieces in the collection and they encouraged us to go past the ropes and have a closer look ... I am soooo happy I visited

Robert Noonan

Great place to spend an hour or two to see some classics items.

Ryan Hogg

Really great museum! My favorite were all of the trains. I wanted to go specifically to see the big boy locomotive not realizing there was more trains there. My favorites to see were there snowblower and the smaller narrow gauge steam engine. They also have another steam engine, diesel engine, some classic passenger cars, and a caboose. All very interesting and cool to see. I am not as much a car, coach, bike, or plane guy but they have really cool collections of each of those. If you haven't been to the Forney you should go!

daniel goodell

I love this place! Everything is very interesting for me personally and I have loved it since I was a kid.

Steve Schmidt

This one of the little kniwn gens a anywhere and why it is in Northwest past the outskirts of Denver is odd indeed

Joel H

I have been visiting this wonderful museum for years. Transportation is all it's forms. From pedal cars to the Big Boy locomotive and everything in between. Many rare and unusual automobiles, Amelia Earhart's 1923 Kissel Goldbug speedster, Nyberg limousine the only one left. Train lovers will be amazed at the Big Boy locomotive it's impressive. One of eight. Extensive motorcycle and bicycle collection as well. They have excellent temporary exhibits as well. This is a hidden gem of Denver, well worth the effort.

Jason Taber

Great museum with many fascinating and mostly well-restored cars, trucks, trains, etc. to look at. Each one includes an appropriate amount of interesting information. The only critique I have is that I wish it was arranged more chronologically.

Ray 81

Very cool place. Anybody who loves cars or anything automotive related this is the place. Love how you can see the car they are restoring in the building as well

Cathy Thiel

This place is so cool, and they change the feature every 3 months. Everyone should go at least once

Chris Mospaw

This truly is a "transportation" museum and not just cars. There are cars, trucks, motorcycles, trains, and a few other things. If you're a steam locomotive fan, one of the surviving UP Big Boys lives here. It's a must see and I'm in awe every time I go. There's always a great curated special show going on of various cars and the permanent collection is fascinating as well. Friendly staff and volunteers.

Having traveled from Fountain (90 min. away), got faked out when we learned that the Natural History Museum was actually the Museum of Nature & Science. My (now 12 y.o.) son and I had already been there at least twice and I really wanted to go some place new. While in the lobby of the Nat. & Sci. museum, I Goog'ed others museums and spotted this one. Was "medium" intrigued, but my son, no. We went anyway. As we pulled up, it didn't look that exciting compared to the aforementioned big daddy museum. Parking lot probably held 30-40 cars. Tried to remain optimistic. Walked in, saw only a lobby/gift shop. Walked to an adjacent small room with model cars and other vehicles. For a moment, I wondered if that was it! I used the restroom and thought if there's not much more, I'm asking for a refund. Eventually found the entrance to the main exhibit and all my concerns vanished. Firstly, I could see that it was far larger than appeared from the street. But with that and a quick visual scan came the understanding that there were some seriously impressive vehicles from Mankind's history. If I had judged it by its exterior, I would've guessed it had 20-30 vehicles max. Oh no. Over a hundred, I'm sure. So much that with the 2.5 hours we knew we had 'til closing, we knew we had to manage our time in order to see everything, enjoy it, and yet not feel rushed. How fascinating it was to see so many of the vintage vehicles in great, yet unrestored condition. To see their age and the history, the wear of the upholstery from 100+ years ago, knowing that it was the result of years of everyday use of people who've long since passed. To know that these cars, bicycles, motorcycles, helicopters, steam engine tractors, and the "Big Boy" steam locomotive (an absolute monster) was at one point the state of the art mode of transportation or equipment...was tremendously impacting. I asked my boy how he felt about leaving the Nature & Science museum and going to the Forney Museum when we first left on a scale of 1-10. He said it was a 1. I then asked him how he felt after we visited it. He said it was about an 8.5. I asked him because I already knew what he'd say...it was obvious when we were there that we was diggin' it. All were either in very good unrestored condition or what appeared to be ultra low miles original condition. Never cared for the AMC Pacer or Gremlin when I was in Jr High when they first came out. But now, to see them as if I was transported back to 1978...awesome. To see a fully intact, unrestored motorcycle from 1933, of which had obviously lived a lot of good life in a world that no longer exists; a very unique feeling. Or the my dream bike when I was in high school, the 6-cylinder Honda CBX, looking just like it did when I drooled over it back then. Or a covered wagon from the "Old West" days, in person, fully intact, just as it was as it took all of a family's possessions across country by horse...phenomenal. Photos, no matter how high-res are good. But the brain ingests a far greater depth of Man's achievements, his and her (one of Amelia Earhart's cars is exhibited) desires, creativity, progress, innovation, etc., etc. when we see these things up close in real life. It's there right in front of us and we know it. No 2D image will ever compete. I'm sure museum-goers share that sense of wonder and attraction to dreaming; what it was like for those who designed and operated these incredible machines. What stories they could tell if they could whisper to us where they've been, what experiences the people had in or on them. How they felt the first day they fired them up. Or the little boy who got his first trike in 1890. What a precious thing it is to be taken back through time when the world was so very different. There's something invaluable about standing next to a vehicle made long ago that tells us so much about them. And in turn, it's hard to not see ourselves differently on a deeper level.

Jake Ninja

Lots of transportation pieces in the museum. Great staff.

Shelli Dore

Loved the camper/travel trailer exhibit

Really cool museum! Lots of very nice and classic vehicles.

Very nice museum with excellent presentation of static displays. Clean well organized place that was a pleasure to visit. Well with the admission price.

Chris Flynn

Great price for a self guided informative tour. I enjoyed being able to walk around at my own pace. Lots of interesting vehicles and trains.and other cool modes of transportation. Facility overall was very clean and quiet. Took a lil over an hour to complete. Close to many dining options as well.

David Lott

Very good family friendly experience. Several cars that may be the only ones in existence. Includes stagecoaches, trains, cars, motorcycles and a few aircraft

K Stut

I really enjoyed this museum. They have an old Big Boy steam train. I have never seen a train this big. Lots of antique cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Well worth the visit.

Terry Deeds

I was drawn there for the Indian Motorcycle collection, but therewas so much more. They even had lockers for our day packs. Planes, trains, automobiles and motorcycles.

Vernon Eubank

Lots of information. Amazing pieces in the exhibits. Definitely worth a trip.

Bennie Rae Palko

Beautiful pieces, lovely layout and friendly staff. We had prom here this year and it was awesome

Eliot Schmidt

Put on your list of things to do in Denver. Lots of amazing stuff!

Amy O.

This museum has a great collection of automobiles, bikes and trains; all of which are at least 30 - 40 years old. This is a great place to spend a rainy or snowy day.

Donna Watt

Great family place to visit. Especially for those kids that love trains or cars!

jeff adams

I really like the variety and collection of items, the caravans are new this visit.

Cindy Bunning

Great museum, especially for car and train enthusiasts.

Julie Cameron

Wow, so much to see. Very well set up. Knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to go back

Wannabe Psychologist

If you can only go to one museum in Colorado, it should be this one. You will not be disappointed, especially if you like old cars, motorcycles, trains, and so much more. You can spend hours here. And make sure to see the matchbox car collection. So cool!

Ryan Shaw

Our son loves the big boy train and they have one. Great place for those who love cars throughout history.

Eric Steffens

I visit this place two or three times a year. While it doesn't change a lot, I always discover something new. This is a great place to spend a few hours in. It's definitely worth the trip.

D Fink

Great variety of different types of vehicles from trains to bicycles to helicopters. Not to expensive and easy to navigate.

Kenneth Troy

Really neat museum, and I’m not really into transportation. The variety of items —cars, trains, motorcycles, bikes—is really impressive. I also enjoyed the wax figures dressed in clothes from coordinating time periods sprinkled throughout

Todd Anderson

Great museum, worth the entry fee. Good rotation on special exhibits. A+

Ryan Stephens

Cool place to see the history of transportation.

Garrett Groman

Great place to bring the kiddos! Prices are good, and it is worth the entry fee.

Cody Howe

Fantastic! Well worth going to see! Will go again and will take our boys!

Constance Salvador

I love old cars, this was a treat

Annette Ciesinski

Fantastic museum with so much to see. Good for older kids because the vehicles with the exception of one are untouchable.

EUAU Cullins

Awesome spot with interesting items that have great stories

Cindy Thompson

Could not focus on the cars/other exhibits as I was too worried about my purse- which I was not able to take with me inside. I did not understand that at all, as there’s nothing small enough to even steal or put in my purse. Will NEVER be back. Go to Branson, MO. They have a bigger and better car museum anyway.

Debbie Maxwell

Saw a fashion show there for Denver Fashion Week. It was so cool

Marilyn Pasqualichio

Wow! What GREAT COLLECTION and EXHIBIT!! This was one of thise places where you're not too sure what you're going to get when you arrive...BUT then you're Pleasantly Surprised by all of the Cool, Beautiful items. We were both blown away by not only the collections in each area but also the condition of everything. It made for (not only great photos for our album) but a Great Memory!

AJ Adams

Loved seeing the Big Boi up close and personal

Noe Ceja

No food, no drinks, no yelling, no screaming, no climbing, no touching, NO FUN! Don't waste your money especially if you have kids there's nothing there that they can do.

Jim K

More of a museum of personal transportation with lots of cars and motorcycles. Very friendly staff, and kind of close to public transport. There is a train station a short rental bike away

Erin R.

This is a great collection of transportation related stuff.. they have everything from buses and trolleys, to trains and airplanes, and everything in between. This is a great place to spend an afternoon. Behaved children should have no problems, there is plenty of stuff to look at and many things that they can climb on

Dave Rumsey

Amazing collection of trains planes automobiles motorcycles carriages. Great place for history buffs.

Natalie Mahon

The Museum was very interesting and the staff was great and friendly.

George Wiebe

This is an awesome spot with lots of stuff. Much better than ever hoped for. Definitely worth your money

Terry Hart

Cool place. Highly recommend.

Tim Robisch

Always love coming here and the volunteers are wonderful. They are very willing to share their knowledge of the exhibits.

Dustyn Adams

Great museum with a variety of transportation from vintage automobiles, trains, bicycles, motorbikes, carriages, mobile homes and even planes. Would highly recommend!

Kennedy S. Pearce

Amazing! An engineer and an a automenchanic-loving girl's dream going here. Even of that's not you and your dream, it's still very interesting place to check out and it's only $8 per ticket! With a ticket, you get the chance to see hundreds of exhibits and displays of transportation over the centuries; which I find PRICELESS. I'd say it is definitely worth checking out, if you haven't already.

David R

I've been to a number of transportation museums in my life. This one is DEFINITELY in my top favorites. With autos across MANY decades, trains, and EXTREMELY unique vehicles... This place is AWESOME!

David Lemon

Very interesting museum. Great value for what they offer.

K P

Great place to host a party! No, really! They host many types of events ranging from Proms to Weddings!

Leighton Scott

I had a blast here. The museum staff were polite, informative and professional. Some of the largest locomotives ever made are here. As well as a neat collection of Indian motorcycles. Really fun.

Chris Jackson

Such a cool place, will go back.

Lowri Roberts

Interesting place. Particularly liked the 'big boy' train!

Tanner Pike

This was by far the coolest car museum that I have ever been to. Had an amazing variety of not just cars. But planes, trains, and bikes too! This is without a doubt one of Denver’s hidden gems. You could spend anywhere from an hour to four hours. I was there for about 2. The $10-$12 admission is well worth it. Highly recommended!

James Espey

Lots of interesting cars from the early 1900s thru the 70s. Many have informative description cards which help to tell the story of each car. Also several historic train cars and engines on display, as well.

Elvis Colucci

If you are looking for a little bit of everything transportation related at a very reasonable price, this is the place. Planes trains and automobiles plus motorcycles and streetcars. Very nice facility that is easy to get around. I took two hours to complete my tour. Watch as you get close as the parking lot entrance will sneak up on you. Watch for the big sign instead of your GPS.

Ajae Hall

This is a very cool place with a wide variety of vehicles. All that is missing is boats. The trains and train cars on display are worth trip by themselves, and there are also lots of cars, bikes and carriages as well as a few aircraft.

David Cuellar

Lots of excellent exhibits and low entrance fee.

Roy Morrison

The group had a great time! Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers

MissViolett

Pretty cool place. Planes, trains, automobiles, and some sweet bikes. Loved the history behind it all.

Courtney Jackson

Loved this place. We took our kids and they loved learning about new things. Each car, train, or bike had a history that we could read about. We spent 3 hours there and probably could have spent longer!

Hilary Nelson

A great adventure back in time! Beautiful planes, automobiles, motorcycles and trains, well displayed with informative descriptions. We love that the displays change often so each time we go is a different experience.

Victor Beckler

Beautiful cars. The price not too expensive for how big it is.

Miles Buckingham

Rotating exhibits paired with impressive train displays. About 45-1 hour of entertainment for a young kid

Sara Thompson

Really cool things to look at cars train extra

Dennis N

Fairly small place but they definitely have a lot of things packs in there. I wish train carts were open to see the inside of them, other than that we loved it.

Cheryl Reames

Lots of cool vehicles but grandkids would have liked it better if there were more vehicles that you could get into besides the one they have

Jack Vanhouten

Nice old cars and trains and motor bikes

Lyndall Canter

Lots of fun. Free parking.

Lawrence Elrad

Great museum. Some of the best curly Indians I've ever seen. Love The Hondas from the sixties and seventies I must see when you are in Denver

Jen Keep

Amazing array of vehicles, and not just cars. Some you won't see anywhere else. Lots of information for each. The restoration of the older pieces is incredible. They have bicycles, motorcycles, trains, trolley cars, funky concept vehicles... you could spend lots of time here, and it would be time well spent.

UTC7513 UTR7513

They had so many awesome cars and trains and planes! Very old buggies and bikes and motorcycles. I enjoyed the hood ornament display case.

Dario Impini

Enjoyed all the rolling history but my favorite was the absolutely colossal Big Boy. Talked at length with Al, the resident expert on this machine who explained many subtleties and answered all my fairly technical questions. He didn't miss a beat and is as much a treasure as the iron horse on display.

David Wilson

I was hesitant about the entry fee per person. I was pleasantly surprised once inside. If you like anything that moves on wheels... You'll like your visit here. I highly recommend it.

John Carpenter

Love this place. Love the rotating themed exhibits

eric huth

Very nice collection of vintage vehicles.

Mark Ingles

What a great place...a gem to go see so make a point to visit. The vehicles as well as the die cast models room are wonderful.

Sara Burke

Huge rotating collection of all kinds of vehicles. Always something new plus some awesome static pieces.

Chardonnay Tomczak

This place was great. I took the kids there for something to do and that was educational. The kids loved it and they got to see so much history in one room. It was awesome

Parker Hall

Great exhibit as usual!

allana c

Great place for anyone..so much history and interest for all

M D

Hidden away in the middle of Denver. A must for train enthusiasts. Houses a Big Boy steam engine.

Ephraim Bekele

The motorcycle section was really cool

Deea Hoover

This place was amazing, The Big Boy is pretty awesome with several trains inside. Lots of old cars and quite the bicycle collection along with motorcycles. They had one just like the one I learned to ride on in the 70s. Lol

williamnporter

Great collection. Loved the UP 4005 Big Boy. If you like trains it is a must see.

Jerri Wilson

It was a great way to spend 2 hours. I love old cars and motor cycles and they have a great display!

Nicole Mascarenas

Hands down the coolest museum I've been to thus far! So much history and detailed information on the different eras of transportation and the evolution of it. Very interactive and I could've stayed there all day because I just loved it so much and the ambiance of it made you feel like you were a part of that time of the vehicles, locomotives, wagons. A must see!!! They have traveling exhibits too so you can go back and it'll have different scenes.

Carcin Loring

Fun visit with a lot to see. A good way to spend a few hours.

Stephen Peterson

Great exhibit for locomotives, cars and trucks from years ago!

Peggy Odegard

What a wonderful museum. From trains, planes, automobiles to bicycles it had a nice assortment of them all. Very friendly staff. It's definitely worth a visit.

Chipper G

My visit was for my 58th birthday, this was too much fun, really enjoyed the day.

Abe Ulibarri

For look for sign it's easy to miss.

Pat Turner

Great place. Much better since they moved. All clean and nicely presented.

Rene G

Very extensive amount of autos, motorcycles and bicycles from years back. Good history information found here, on autos too. Several trains in display, with charts explaining their origin and use. "Big Boy" train here, one of the largest ever made in the world. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Diego Torres

Good collection of cars, trains, bicycles and a few old motorcycles. The cars mostly range in age from the 20's through the 80's. I was particularly impressed with the 80-s collection. I thought I disliked cars from that era, but they had some great specimens from the US. They also had the largest locomotive I've ever seen. It was too big to take a picture of. You can check out the "control panel". Very cool place, and the admission price was reasonable.

Jason S

Stumbled upon this museum by chance and was not disappointed! $12 adult admission and I spent about 90 minutes here, it wasn't overly large, but still worth my while since they have a BIG BOY on display! There's only a few left in existence, so you can't put a price on seeing one of these relics! As far as the automobiles, they have a good selection, and have the appropriate amount of background on each one!

Phillip Wacker

Wow! So many historic vehicles! Well worth the admission!

zertihun Merineh

Since the time I walked in until I walked out I was amazed . All stuff amazing and interesting . I would like to say for public, to know General Transportation story go to Forney Museum of Transportation at Denver co.

Richard Slaviero

A great place. Lots to see, a lot of history in this place. I'm glad we went. Nice layout & very clean.

Anthony Kloehr

Definite must see for the car, motorcycle, and history enthusiast. There's a lot to see here. 10% military discount.

Tom Glanzman

Bicycles, motorcycles, autos, and locomotives. Excellent collection, especially Big Boy 4005.

James Munson

Great museum with a wide variety of transportation themed exhibits. Home of one of the rare Big Boy locomotives! Worth several hours to give yourself time to read everything. They did a great job grabbing quality, unique examples that you don't see elsewhere. Everything from bicycles, motorcycles to car, trucks, trains, planes and a helicopter.

Elmo Sheeran

Real piece of history. Amazing collection. Well worth the visit.

Sloane Espey

Such a nice surprise! Took my Dad to the Forney Museum the day after Xmas... we both really enjoyed the trains, amazing how BIG they were. And my Dad knew every 70 s and 80s car without reading the Placard. Such a fun shared experience!

Brenna Johnson

Hours are not correct. Definitely not open on sundays after I drove over.

E Beaulieu

You would not expect to find in the inside looking at the outside. If you are a Studebaker affectionado you really need to check this place out.

Josiah Strandberg

Fun collection of all sorts of transportation methods with the star being a Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive.

Tyler Paplham

Awesome assortment of antique and unique vehicles including motorcycles and trains!

Ali Shaw

I can here with my brother as he is into cars and automotive stuff... Me not so much. HOWEVER, I had a blast. It was so cool to see history. If you have kids, I definitely would recommend going.

David Auner

Fun transportation museum with nice exhibits centered on railways and cars.

charlie lyon

Great 80s car exhibit going on now!

Sallie Diebolt

Planes, trains and automobiles...literally! Well-organized and maintained. Cool place to spend a few hours and see some history.

Allison Wright

Absolutely loved this museum! Our main purpose of going was to see the Big Boy! We loved seeing it but also loved the rest of the museum! It is right behind the Denver Coliseum and apparently there were graduations going on. The museum was selling their parking lot spots. We didn't have to pay to park when I told them we were actually going to the museum but it was annoying to have to wait in line to get into the parking lot.

Christian B

Whether you're into old cars, trains, planes, motorcycles or bicycles, this place is for you! Many of the vintage items either belong too or are on loan to the museum by a private owner. By each item displayed is a detailed description and history, which I found to be useful in explaining why the item is in the museum. Many of the cars and other museum items are for display only but there are are few items, such as the trains that can be interacted with. One of my favorite areas of the museum is " Biking through History " they have a large room with bikes from the early 1800's through the 1970's. Its interesting to see how the styles and mechanical aspects have changed throughout the years. They even have a tribute to Wilbur and Orville Wright who once sold and repaired bicycles before using bike parts to build the first "flying machine". This is an trip through history of transportation and something that everybody of all ages will enjoy.

Sherri T.

It was a delight! If you enjoy vintage cars, trains, campers, and more....this is for you!

Jim O'Connor

Lots of automobiles and motorcycles. Several steam locomotives including a Bigboy. Good viewing for several hours.

Dustin Sillaman

They have some very unique and rare transportation items and if you're into that, it's very interesting!

Renee Gleason

Nice museum. We came to see the big boy.

Rajendran Sridhar

Dont let the entrance or the initial thoughts decide the experience you might get inside. It's worth the entrance fee that one has to pay. The exhibits are very informative and definitely worth the time and money spent.

Hannah Henderson

This a great place to visit for all ages. Very well planned lay out and displayed. I was impressed by the availability of strollers or wheelchairs at the entrance for those who need them. The staff is warm and helpful.

Richard Davies

Great Museum with history all over. We really enjoyed this afternoon. Staff were super friendly. Looks like one of the best places to go to a private party, as they were setting up for that, the day we were there.

Day Family

I thought this place was pretty cool. Theres not a lot to do so it isn't suggested for small or rambunctious children. I don't even much care for cars, but I love the history and looking at old things.

Marcus Fryer

We had our high school prom there and it was a wonderful experience! The staff is so kind and hard-working and it is such a neat place.

Amy Leslie

Really enjoyed my time here. They have a wide range of vehicles: planes, trains, automobiles... and bicycles! I thought the Detroit Electric Car they have was super interesting, who knew we had electric cars back before WWII! It was also eye-opening to realize how big a steam engine locomotive is.

James Lee Lewis II

You gotta love a place like this!

Dirk Miller

That was a cool museum.

E Dias

A hidden place. Great to visit for all ages. A must go.

Cindy Martin

Greatly disappointed, can't look inside the trains. Need a better variety of cars and from the looks it seems a lot of them are far from being restored

Tyler James

My wife and I stopped by here before flying out of Denver. The museum has some awesome classic cars and motorcycles. They are still working on some of the railcars that will be cool to see once restored. The only issue is the location is hard to spot, drove right by it and had to turn around.

MrCigarsnCoffee

If you or someone you know is a car, tractor, motorcycle, steam engine or otherwise classic vehicle fan, you MUST visit the Forney museum. On top of their already outstandingly impressive collection, they have rotating exhibits which feature a certain type or style of vehicle for a limited time. I went when they were featuring low-riders; I'm not into the style, but I was still blown away by the quality and condition of each one. My parents were in town, and I took my kids as well. It was solid entertainment for all company involved for a good two hours. I'll definitely go again to see other featured exhibits.

Bob Fifer

Had a great time at the museum with kiddos. Love what they have done since the last time I was there 20 years ago!

Kenneth Shead

Kool trains, cars and bikes

Kevin Williamson

Huge museum with plenty of interesting vehicles to look at. I loved the carriages especially. However, I would have liked to get a better look inside the trains.

Christen Lawless

This museum is awesome! I'm not that interested in cars - but this museum has a ton more than that. Bikes, skates, motorcycles, old wagons, trains, and even a rickshaw! They even have a smaller section of diecast and model cars. If you're interested in vehicles, other cultures, or anything with history you'll love it. Great for kids too (as long as you can keep them contained - there are only velvet ropes separating you from the displays).

Alex Swartz

The cleanest examples of America's worst cars you'll ever see, along with fun antiques, locomotives, and buggies. Worth a trip for the sheer variety. You'll not see much like it elsewhere.
