Located at 8240 Highway 41 south. Please note Bumblebee rules when you enter. Only visit during daylight hours. There's a tip bucket near the robot.

This can be seen from the highway, but it's worth doing the u-turn to get up close to it! The driveway is right off the freeway and there is a sign welcoming you (asking you to be respectful). Great quick novelty!

Noticed an old blue semi at the rear of the property. Let's hope an Optimus Prime is in the works!
