The museum parking was actually very easy to deal with around 10A when they just opened. Lots if convenient spaces to be had. We wandered in the parking lot for a minute and checked out a Ford GT parked on display as well as a couple Teslas and the Tesla Semi tractor right at the garage entrance to the museum. The museum itself was well designed and had a wide range of vehicles both in the museum and the vault. The vault tour is you on your own without a guide and there are so many vehicles it will probably take you 1 hour to get through them all. We spent about 3 hours going through the entire building and finally the gift shop. Lots to see and some fun activities on level 2 for the kiddos. Prices are a bit steep for the vault in my humble opinion but if you’re a car nut it’s well worth the effort. The docents were helpful and kind and very knowledgeable. Would go again with anyone who hasn’t experienced it yet.
