Volo Museum - Volo, Illinois

If you are a car enthusiast the Volo museum is a must-see. There are galleries of classic cars displayed and up for sale, like your local classic car show but with every car in pristine condition.

Historic cars from films ranging from the Blues Brothers Dodge Monaco police cruiser to Luke Skywalker's landspeeder are in another gallery. Ford vs. Ferrari has its own gallery, with multiple cars from the film.

The Titanic exhibit has many artifacts from the time. The Renault restoration displayed there is one of a kind, with the only other production model of its type lost with the historic ship. It's a beautiful vehicle.

Volo was a great family venue for a spring break outing for my son and parents.

Volo Auto Museum...a great place to spend a day, especially a cold winter day! It is a great, informal way to see a lot of classic autos, which just happen to also be for sale, should you be in the market for that special car from your past!!! And the movie/TV cars are icing on the cake. I could, and did, spend all day here - there are so many hidden gems to look at, and don't miss the antique mall for other, more portable treasures of yesteryear!

I came here and honestly could’ve stayed the entire day the hours let me.

I am an avid car fan and also movie fan, so this was a true delight to visit. All the vehicles have a story and the layout was simple to follow with a map. Staff were great and grounds were all Mostly clean - tho I noticed some mayflies or bugs near the boating room.

The Jurassic exhibit was great - albeit catered more to children, as a young adult I enjoyed it.

I’d visit again / I did not have lunch but they seemed to have a selection of options and plenty y seating. Parking was ample and plenty for a family or couple or singles to do.

Plan for two days if you can! So much good stuff to see. Everyone came away with their own favorite memory. I truly enjoyed the classic cars for sale as a dreamer and hopefully buyer someday soon. My two sons absolutely loved the Dinosaur exhibit. So extremely lifelike, I think they were a bit taken aback by just how massive some of these creatures were. We purchased the premium passes as it was the best value given everyone wanted to see something different. I honestly forgot just how kid friendly this place is. Highly recommended for all families, lovers of automobiles, movies, toys… you name it… it’s here!!!

We had the best time! Our initial trip was to go to the Volo Car museum. I wanted to see thy General Lee from the Duke's of Hazard in person. It was in Showroom 5.

We started the tour at Showroom 1 and I'm glad we did it that way. I would have missed so many great cars and things to see! I enjoyed myself immensely! There are also other things to see so we'll definitely be back when it's warmer!

This review is ONLY for the titanic exhibit. Please know I love every other part of the museum!
We finally went to the exhibit today, they really do have a lot of cool titanic relics and facts around the room. However there was 2 obviously interactive exhibits that were roped off that you couldn’t interact with one even said “try the slopes of the titanic” but then it said “don’t touch” like…ok? Another one is a ship simulation where you should be able to try and turn the wheel to avoid the iceberg and that was completely turned off. Finally they DID have one part where you could feel the ice water, so that was kind of cool to try. I think they would benefit a lot from allowing guests to try those interactions. I know that they want a somber remembrance when you walk through them maybe take out those parts? Otherwise it was a good experience at the rest of the volo auto!

I had a good experience at the place. I like that the Titanic exhibition is in the same place. Other exhibitions are also in the same location. You will spend all day in the museums with so much variety of things. The antique shops are huge and you will need enough time to get through them. I do recommend going to this place and have a good time
