What To Expect

National Corvette Museum

The National Corvette Museum is a showcase to America's sports car. Start your tour with a short film about the history of the Corvette and the Corvette Museum. As you walk though the museum you'll see exhibits featuring over 70 Corvettes in periodic settings including a mid-century barbershop, service station and dealership. You'll see Corvette prototypes, one-of-kind cars, and racing champs. Enjoy hands-on activities in KidZone , trivia kiosks, and the "Corvette Cave In” exhibit. This exhibit takes visitors back to the early morning hours of February 12, 2014 when the earth opened up inside the Museum’s Skydome, swallowing the classic Corvettes. The Museum's Skydome offers a glimpse of the size and depth of the sinkhole as well as the retrieved Corvettes. Guests are also invited to try a Corvette on for size in the lobby. The Corvette Store offers apparel, collectibles, home and gift items. An on-site 50's-inspired Corvette Cafe serves breakfast, lunch and snacks.

We visited on a Wednesday morning early. VERY few people were there, so it was almost like having the place to ourselves. Very interesting and informative. We don’t own a Corvette but can certainly appreciate the styling, history and models. The display of the sink hole mess was very interesting.

Great for adults and especially Corvette enthusiasts. The website had us so excited to take the tour. The Kidz Zone was to be a special surprise. The tour was more like a history lesson. The Kidz Zone was not well maintained resulting in missing and broken items. Additionally the child size peddle corvette was unusable. The 'cave' was so dark it terrified the child we were trying so hard to show a good time. Once again, Bowling Green fell short when it came to entertaining out of town family.
