Jenilynne2017 - Willow Springs, MO - July 2023My family loved this place! The Model T ride was wonderful and well worth the wait time. Every building had signs explaining their purpose and/or history or a costumed interpreter ... to provide information and answer questions.2doglady - TN - August 2025We had a very enjoyable time, thought the films were great, and really enjoyed seeing the cars on the assembly line. ... Highly recommend this activity as part of your visit to The Henry Ford Museum.Angie - October 2025This museum far exceeded our expectations. It’s absolutely massive! We spent about 5½ hours exploring and still didn’t see everything — it’s that big. Sswoger - Austintown, OH - June 2025This was a place I've wanted to go to for many years, I was not disappointed ... The highlight of our visit was the rides in actual model T vehicles ... For me, this was a bucket list item that I can now finally cross off my list.
