Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing - Museum in Ocala - 13700 SW 16th Ave, USA

This place is absolutely amazing. Got very lucky when I went and Don Garlits was there. Got to meet him and listen to some of his stories. That man has so much knowledge and those pretty much the history of every single thing in his Museum. Parking lot is big enough for RVs and they are pet friendly

This place is awesome. I had the best time stepping back in drag racing history and really enjoyed the history of Don. I was very impressed with his collection. Great job keeping everything in amazing shape and very clean. Both buildings were very worth seeing. Needed more time. I will stop back soon.

I finally was able to visit Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. I have visited quite a few museums lately, with this one not being the typical museum. It's not even your typical car museum. In this case, the whole reason for this museum is Drag Racing. I must say mission accomplished. I love the fact that Don's idea of a museum is the correct way. Yes a lot of it does pertain to Mr. Garlits and his career in Drag Racing. But soooooo much is not about Don, but instead many other personalities associated with Drag Racing. There are many cars and items throughout decades of the sport. The Museum itself has three large rooms holding many cars, engines and many other items. I enjoyed taking a break and sitting on a bench to watch a video. You can spend a lot of time here if you really look and read. There were so many cars, people and event subjects that I remember over the years. But just as important were the many of the same that I didn't remember and learned about. My only regret is that my ankle was much less enthusiastic than my brain, about the amount of time that I could spend walking around and standing enjoying the exhibits. Just a great place and better than I was expecting. Well done to Don and the folks that maintain this jewel. There of course is a gift shop where you can purchase things. The rest rooms are in the gift shop if folks need to visit. There is a discount off the price for things like being over 60, or a veteran and such. So you may be able to save a few dollars as well. The price also includes admission for a second car museum on the property. That museum is more of the car museum most folks would picture when mentioning car museums. It's also very nice. I'm sure that I'll be back in the future. There was so much enjoyment to be had if you enjoy motorsports and especially drag racing. Thank you Mr. Garlits for building such a place for folks like myself.

This place is amazing love it I believe I knew it existed but we move out of Florida before I got the opportunity to go in. Now finally we got to go and then I loved it. I like how they have all the history and all the information about the different drivers and cars but all that stuff it is pretty cool and then go in there and live that experience. Then going to the other car museum the antique is pretty nice as well it was it was quite an experience I recommended 100%.

I am not a car person, but man, was this place awesome! I became one today. It made me realize how much I loved the antique cars. My kids absolutely loved looking at everything as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

Was one of the best places I've ever been. Awesome museum lots to see and learn about. There is so much to see and read. There is so much history about drag racing and Don garlits. Everything was great. I can't wait to go back

Awesome place. Would be a little better if you could get a closer look at the other angles of the antique cars, but most were roped off and you can only see the front. But they were all really clean and looked really well restored. Great place to visit.

I stop there every time I’m in the area and you should too. Usually once per year at a minimum. Everything is great there but, the dude at the register insists on discussing politics.. good topic, wrong venue.
