This neo-Roadside attraction is like a giant cabinet of curiosities. The art cars are explosions of creativity -- and they can be driven. The docents (who call themselves "Splainers") were very friendly, as each vehicle has its own amazing story.
[Rodney Wood, 06/24/2020]This was such a fun museum, with so much stuff to see! It is 100% free to tour, but tips are welcome to help with the upkeep. They have a very large selection of art cars, each with their own story and history displayed. An awesome family-friendly attraction.

A great stop, and we got a tour of the facility. Looking forward to coming back in September for the parade.

20+ amazing art cars, including a fire-breathing dragon car covered with glass beads. It's named "Cardegras."
