lemay museum at marymount

Wonderful display of vintage vehicles. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, fire trucks, even a boat! There is both a self-guided section, then areas where well-informed docents walk with you. A must see for car enthusiasts, but also very enjoyable for anyone.

It is hard to describe a wonderful collection of the classics, without sounding redundant...so I'll leave it to you to put it down on paper. One of the best on the planet.

We spent a couple hours looking at the cars there. So many to see. The person doing the tour did a great job. I used a Groupon to save a little money.

If you don't mind walking, this car exhibit is almost better than the Lemay exhibit near the Tacoma Dome. We appreciated having tour guides available to share stories about the various vehicles.

I took my grandchildren here several months after visiting the new car museum on I5. I was delighted when they told me they liked it even more than the beautiful new museum. The docent catered to my grandsons...answering all their questions and going out of his way to show them the vehicles they were most interested in. Wow, I was so pleased!

Even if you aren't a car person, this place is amazeballs. The first building is self-tour and you can totally stick your head through the car windows to appreciate the interiors. The second building is a guided tour and it's chock full of awesome cars, on racks 3 cars high. Then the third building, also viewed via guided tour, is the pièce de résistance. It has super cool cars like an authentic General Lee, Bill Cosby's Porsche, etc. An awesome time, you will love it.

We followed the directions from the website and arrived in a short time. We found that they were closed on Mondays, but a manager said he would show us around since we were there. I wish we could remember his name as he went out of his way to show us the vast collection. There are so many cars and others we hadn't heard of. They have so many varied cars and other vehicles that you need to spend several hours to appreciate all that they display. It is inspiring that someone could collect all of that. We had to leave for an appointment but we will return.

Loved it! Well worth the time spent in this wonderful, architectural facility that is easy to wander through...No steps at all. Well planned.

Found a groupon for this attraction and decided it sounded like a great adventure. We love cars, so were excited to see what they had to offer. We were not disappointed. The museum was not very busy when we got there, so we got to spend a lot of time talking to the volunteers who work there polishing and caring for the cars. There were makes and models of cars we had never seen or heard of before. Both restored and unrestored cars are on display. If you are a car lover like we are, you will love this museum!

This museum is superb and will be enjoyed by all who walk through the doors, car or motorcycle lovers or not. It is wonderfully designed, historically interesting and has many beautiful displays. They did not spare a dollar while arranging each section The lunch is darn good and the balcony overlooks the main floor while you eat. Worth a stop - we went last year and again this year for the Vintage Motorcycle Festival and the displays inside had completely changed. GO!

My wife and I took our 6 year old and his school friend here on a Groupon deal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We declined a guide and looked around the main buildings on our own, then took the guided tour of the out buildings (a guide is required for this portion). There are many, many , many cars here. We had a great time browsing through all the classics and learning cool facts from our tour guide. This museum is a bit out of the way, but well worth the trip if you are interested in classic and unique cars in a "garage" setting. Don't pass on the out buildings, even if the weather isn't great. It's a short walk outside, but then you are in a giant building and most of the vehicles, and the coolest in my opinion, are in this part of the museum.

We started out with a car show..All Triumph Drive in and got to go into the museum which I understand is not always open to the public. Enormous amount of great cars! We finished the day with a dinner on property. A fine day indeed!

This is the place to go and spend all day (actually, several days) to try and see it all! It's an old military school converted into a museum with cars stuffed in some fun places...like the school showers! And once you've made it through the school building, it's on to several other buildings where the cars are stacked on several floors. My husband was in heaven and it was a perfect birthday outing!! There are free guided tours on the hour up to 3:00...but get there early, as it closes at 5:00. It's phenomenal!! You won't be disappointed!

I could spend a week in this place, there are so many cars to see and so many stories behind them, Harold Lemay sounds like my kind of guy. I would recommend this place to anyone who has even a slight interest in automobiles or American history.

Wanted to see this place again after almost a decade. An amazing place with people there that really care about your visit. Hard to not think of this as the highlight of any trip. Not sure if I will be back, I hope so! Nice, unique gifts in the gift center so we bought stuff there, too. Great place. We enjoyed viewing the Tucker! Five stars!!!!!
