    I have driven by this place dozens of times. Today we decided to actually stop and visit. Wow!!! I was impressed with the collection of vintage and exotic vehicles. They have a huge collection of things for everyone to enjoy. From young to old, you'll find cars, model cars, antique salesman samples, toys of all types. A huge grandfather clock and much more. All well displayed and maintained. To top it all off, it is all FREE to enjoy. I highly recommend this museum. A true treasure.

    HIDDEN GEM: this is truly one of the many hidden gems of North Texas and it is absolutely amazing that it is free to get into this museum. This is a great place for families, children especially young men, etc We are going back soon because an hour was not enough amount of time. Perfect Summer Bucket List item.

    This collection is truly impressive. Something to see for everyone, even if you aren't a car enthusiast I would still highly recommend a visit!

    Wow! This is a hidden gem & it's FREE! One tip, don't go with teenagers unless they're really into cars & history. The outer appearance is deceiving. They have sooo many things to see and read! SUPER COOL to see how cars were compared to how they are now. You think the small room to the right of entrance was it, but when you go upstairs on the right of reception, you'll be surprised at how much MORE antique car collections they have! There's also a miniature of Titanic, A LOT of car, boat, plane toys. I could easily spend 2 hours without my teenagers. They ruined my excitement.

    My family really enjoyed browsing this collection! We even found a black Toyota pickup that looked oh so clean. There are plenty of restrooms on each level and the aisles are spaced wide for wheelchairs. Admission is free and there's a lot of parking. Great place!

    Extensive collection of cars and Car Toys, and so much more. Was blown away by how many cars and toys they have and n display. A must see for families. Free to the public which is amazing. A little warm during the day. Have fans running but it gets really warm, otherwise 5 stars!!

    I saw this museum on Instagram, and I made a note to take my parents when I next visited them. The museum was way more than I was expecting it to be. Best of all, the museum is completely free! They have 200 different cars, and there are all different types of cars. They had super expensive cars like a Bugatti to vintage cars to "cars that shouldn't exist", and everything in between. They also have toys and other collectibles to look at. It took us about 2 hours to walk around, but you could easily spend more time there. Highly recommend visiting this museum, I know I'll be asking to go back next time in Fort Worth.

    If you're seeking out a nice way to spend the afternoon exploring DFW Car and Toy Museum is an excellent choice. It's easy access from I-35. There's plenty of parking which is always a plus. Be prepared to spend a few hours because it's huge. There are the main attractions on the museum floors (2 levels) and there is also a library with leather sofas, a robot room and a neat room with doggy inspired artwork. And a "doghouse" like you've never seen. There's vending machines available with snacks and drinks but no cafe on premises. The museum just opened in March of 2025 so maybe a lunch spot is coming. Maybe eat lunch first because it's big, it's cool with so much to see so you'll probably be here a while. Definitely planning a return visit already.

    Beautiful museum the first time I've been there. I got lucky today. There was a car show. Also outside free access free parking. Great day great way to spend your day. I will return. The people were nice and there are so many levels of cars toys of all types all makes Beutiful antiques. He's big on Volkswagens.

    This place is SO cool! Admission is free - which already drew me in- we went today when they were doing their coffee and car show and saw so many cool cars! Parking was easy- grassy area across from the museum itself (it has its own parking lot but was being used for the car show. Inside there were so many different types of cars, we were shocked at how huge the place really is once you get in. 10/10 we will definitely be coming back and checking out their events!

    History In the beginning man created museums to preserve history. Then Ron Sturgeon created the DFW Car and Toy Museum to share some of His-story in the automotive industry to the world. This museum is revitalizing the car culture in the DFW area with its amazing vehicles, toys, collectibles, car shows, meets, rally launches, swap meets, parties and the list keeps goings. Taking an old abandoned warehouse and turn it into a world class museum is something only a visionary could do. This place is second to none. Even if you are not a car person, toy person or museum person you will appreciate this museum. Look forward to seeing what's next!

    I'm sure I'm not the first one to rave about this museum, first of all it's free second of all it has the most amazing collection of cars. I actually met very briefly the owner of the museum. There has to be 300 cars here and thousands of toys. Places is really very interesting. You could spend all day here for sure.

    Laurie F.

    This place is a great place to visit and it's free! 3 floors full of cars and collectables in great condition. Perfect place to visit on a rainy day, if your a car enthusiast or just want to try somewhere new. Great for families, couples or solo visitors. We enjoyed reading about the cars and the owners and even heard some fun stories from one of the volunteers. High recommend.

The Holy Sepulcher exhibit cost $18. It featured small wooden fragments believed to be relics of the True Cross from Christ's crucifixion. Each item carries a rich history. As Christians, we enjoyed this exhibit very much. The other areas of the museum were more spacious. 2 notable works of art included Caravaggio's The Cardsharps and Michelangelo's The Torment of Saint Anthony, an early piece thought to be his very first painting. The entire museum was easy to walk through and explore at your own pace. Service: The staff was friendly and accommodating. Self-service luggage storage was a plus as it was very convenient. We had 2 carry-on luggages and a backpack. There is a big cafe inside with patio seating for lunchtime. Parking: Free in the parking lot. We took ride-share from DFW airport since we came here before checking in to our hotel back in Dallas.

There is also a dedicated kids area and café on the first floor. Upstairs you can sit in for a movie in the planetarium, and explore more aviation/space/science based. It's also inspiring to watch the live scientists work in an actual, functioning, lab! There's a plane simulation, and video interviews with military aviation specialists that you can sit and watch.

It was definitely my favorite part of our trip to the area! I couldn't believe all the artifacts it possessed. Texas played a significant role in the American Civil War Secession: Texas joined the Confederacy in early 1861, a few weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it had replaced its governor, Sam Houston, who had refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Military: Nearly 90,000 Texans served in the military. Leaders of the Texas forces included legendary figures John Bell Hood, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bankhead Magruder, Patrick Cleburne, and Ben McCulloch. Battles: Texas forces fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Second Manassas, Wilson's Creek, The Wilderness, Vicksburg, Corinth, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Glorieta Pass, Pea Ridge, Gaine's Mill, Franklin, and Mansfield. Texas also defended its own coastline, repulsing Union invaders at Brownsville, Sabine Pass, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. Blockades: The Union blockaded Galveston, Houston, and other ports, making it difficult for farmers to export their crops. Closing: The surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy at Galveston on June 2, 1865 was, as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Sands of the United States Navy noted, "the closing act of the Great Rebellion." Just a few weeks later on June 19, Gen. Gordon Granger, commander of U.S. troops in Texas, arrived in Galveston and ended slavery in Texas by issuing an order that the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect in Texas later to become known as Juneteenth.

It is so extraordinary how many personal pieces and artillery/weapons are on display for us to experience. The very last exhibit included Victorian dresses on display!

Regarding the Museum, there is ample parking and restrooms are located near the entrance. The gift shop has cool items that are reasonably priced. It is unfortunate they will be closing in December 2023 though.
