What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors often praise the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America for its impressive collection of Daytona 500 winning cars and diverse motorsports exhibits. The knowledgeable guides and the engaging race simulator are frequently highlighted as positive aspects. However, some feel the museum is smaller than anticipated for the ticket price, suggesting it might be best suited for dedicated fans or those combining it with a speedway tour.
"Motorsports Hall of Fame is a must-do! Walking across the start/finish line, standing on the steep banks, and seeing the winning Daytona 500 cars up close was unforgettable. The guides were fun and knowledgeable, and the museum is packed with history and memorabilia. Even if you’re not a huge racing fan, the energy here is contagious!"

"The Daytona Motor Sports Hall of Fame in Daytona, Florida is the place to be and the place to see. If you love cars, motorcycles, boats, bicycles, or even if you don't, you will love this adventure. It is packed with facts and artifacts that everyone, young and old can enjoy. There is much history packed in to this one location, as well as many memories and memorabilia. Everything is displayed beautifully, and I recommend the guided tour. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They know exactly how to explain the history. They have vehicles, uniforms, racing suits, sections of old racing tracks, and even show workshops of how racing suits were handcrafted back in the day. There is a race simulator that everyone can enjoy (especially the kids) and a huge giftshop with many, many items/souvenirs. If you are passing through or visiting Florida, stop in and visit this place and visit a piece of Florida history. Spread the word to family and friends. Thank you for reading."

"Get the tour tickets! They include a museum pass plus a tour of the speedway! As someone who isn't really into racing and just bought tickets for my husband's benefit, this was a fun activity. The guide was awesome, the museum is great (and a lot bigger than i expected), and the gift shop is pretty big too! Definitely so glad we took the time to do this."
