Family Friendly

Young People Love The Cars!

America’s Packard Museum is family friendly. Children of all ages are welcome, but we ask that anyone under 18 is accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Strollers can be used, there are seats in all parts of the Museum, and we have two restrooms each for men and women. Plus we have a wonderful location just for our junior executive guests full of activities.

Build Their Interests

How do kids get interested in technology, engineering, art, and design? By experiencing it. There are no ropes or barriers to our cars so our families can get as close as possible. Please, no touching the vehicles because we are preserving them for the next generation.

Fun Questions!

  • Why do some cars have spokes, like bicycles?

  • Why are the trucks built out of wood?

  • Why do some cars have so many lights?

  • How do engines work?

  • Where are the seatbelts?

  • Why do some cars have spare tires on the side?

  • Are any of the cars EVs?

  • Where is the Apple CarPlay?

  • What reminds you of your car?

The Junior Executive Suite

The Museum has a room just for our younger guests. The junior executives can color their favorite Packards, watch videos, or build Legos. The children cannot be left unattended.
