Entering thru the dusty, musty gift shop, the counter person will start a video describing what you will be looking at. Most of the cars do NOT belong to the stars - there is a picture of a famous person/movie/tv show displayed beside a SIMILAR car of that era. Not very large - had maybe 30 cars and several motorcycles and other "vehicles". My dad got in free, because he is handicapped. My mom paid $5 as a senior, and my admission was $8 - in my opinion, WAY too expensive for what they have.

Unique Suggestions: A few interesting things here - the front car of Elvis' favorite roller coaster, the Zippin' Pippin, from an amusement park in Memphis, and a photo display describing the current disposition of the hearse which carried Elvis' body to the cemetery.

Fun Alternatives: I'm not a car person, but my dad very much is one. I won't say I was bored, but I think it is too expensive for what you see there. If it was like $3, it might be worth it. My dad was interested in the cars though, so this may not qualify as a tourist trap to someone who is a motor-head.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
