Angie - October 2025

This 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.

Eric - Cuyahoga Falls, OH - August 2024

Kids and I had a great time and walk (and ride) through history. Kids loved riding the steam train and in the model T. My son especially liked catching the 1930 Ford bus to get around 'town'.

Geraldine P. - Birmingham, MI - June 2025

The Henry Ford offers a remarkable experience that captures the spirit of American innovation, culture, and the evolution of the automotive industry, making it a perfect destination to share with friends and family from around the world.

DJ - Toledo, OH - August 2025

This is a beautiful and interesting collection of buildings and representation of their places in history. Plan to spend the whole day — or better still get a membership so you can take 2 days to see it all.

Sswoger - Austintown, OH - June 2025

This 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.
