I’ve made it my mission to expose this amazing place to folks who have never been. It’s a place of automotive reverence that takes no prisoners. I got hooked in a matter of minutes. Anyone who loves cars, art, engineering, history will be blown away. Make it your mission to attend this gem of a museum.

If you are in Dayton, this is a must see. Don't miss the video and get the story of the building.

I was here for a wedding and it was amazing! Well laced out for a venue and ample space for ceremony and reception. The cars are fantastic and the decor and building itself made me want to go back again!

How can you not like this museum. Classic cars that are still beautiful today as they were the day they were made.

Beautiful collection of vintage Packard autos, all inside of an original Packard dealership. Very representative collection, showcasing cars from a period when their design was high art as much as anything else. Particular highlights are Al Capones personal car, as well as the hearse used in the funeral scene of The Godfather. Made for a nice two hour stop on a guys day out.

Small but excellent! Spend an hour and immerse yourself in the history of a historic brand from yesteryear. The site is spectacular an old dealership with the offices intact. The details are outstanding. The car collection is perfect for the location snd size and the displays are spot on. I highly recommend you take an hour or two and increase your knowledge of the Packard Brand.

Great place to visit, even if you're not a car-buff. Friendly, informative and you dont have to stay 5 ft from the displays as is the case for many museums. They rotate thier displays, so I'll be back to see what else they have available for our viewing pleasure.

Definitely look this place up. World's largest collection of Packard's in one place in the work I think they said. Examples of the company's cars, trucks, aero engines etc.

They have faithfully maintained the building as it would have been years ago, so you can experience the sales room where you would have filled out your paperwork, the waiting room whilst your vehicle was being serviced and other period facilities.

These cars are beatiful, and are immaculately preserved.

The volunteers here are very helpful and enthusiastic, take advantage of their knowledge to get the most out of your visit.

The Packard Museum is a great place for a small afternoon outing with family. It hosts a modest but fascinating collection of classic American cars and some other odds and ends related to the history of the local Dayton area and other companies like NCR. As of July 2023, the price of entrance is just $10 per adult and $5 per senior.

Excellent place to take a kid who's not too young. Don't touch the cars of course. The man working there was very knowledgeable and personable.
Quite an impressive place. They said all but one are in running shape! They have legal plates even. We were delighted to see a DeLorean as well; my 12 y/o son especially.
This museum is a Dayton gem. How lucky we were to find out about it! I'll definitely be taking some friends.

Had some nice stuff to view. Not very many cars. Expensive considering that I only spent about 45 minutes to see everything.

Stopped in at random, and I'm so glad we did. Lots of cars to look at, spent probably two hours, and could have stayed longer.
