This is such a fun day out! We opted to only go for the regular ticket, not the volt as well due to time, but next time we go, we plan to do that too! If you’re a film fan, this is a real treat. I loved the original Batmobile and one of the Delorean's from Back To The Future. There was even a class going on that you could walk into, on car design, which was very neat. They had a Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera from Cars, and a storyboard of the town they were inspired by and the real people that influenced the characters.

I have had the pleasure of being a Checkered Flag member since the founding of this Great Automotive Institution, and have marveled many time about the world class displays, presentations and events......the building is magnificent also......but the truly spectacular asset that separates THE PETERSEN from all others , is the PEOPLE, that have both created their vision and now operate this treasure every day ! There is none better ! Respectfully, Dick Waitneight…
