  • Fantastic day out, something for everyone. Great Holden Hero’s exhibition on at the moment which was the highlight of this visit. All the Holden concept cars on display. Video games to play for the kids. Great range of cars, trucks and motorcycles on display. Plenty of rich history to explore and a large collection of diverse automotive memorabilia. Definitely worth the the visit, great value for a family day out. Would highly recommend 👍
  • What an amazing experience to wrap up the weekend. A thorough enjoyment for entire family. If you're a vintage/classic car admirer, you should definitely add this place in your bucket list. Cost free video games/Atari/pinballs has added extra charm to attract visitors. Staff was extremely helpful. Do not forget to buy souvenirs for lifetime memories. A must visit place👍
  • Loved it here! The Holden display is amazing. So good to see efijy there! A great mix of cars and things to do. Great games area all included in your ticket price.
  • What an experience. The staff were fantastic and the amount of Motor memorabilia was outstanding. Rows and rows of cars trucks and motorcycles, if your in Adelaide it is well worth the small price to enter. Two thumbs up.
  • Fantastic. A very large collection vintage, classic, unique or rare cars, bikes and trucks preserved within a massive building behind the Old Mill in Birdwood. Entry price is well worth it for any car or motorcycle enthusiast. A gift shop is at the entrance. The museum is wheelchair friendly. Ample off-street parking is available.
