My son loves learning about vehicles of all kinds and the Mack Truck Historical Museum has been on our list for over a year to visit. We are delighted that we took time to tour the museum.
We were met by a retired Engineer from Mack who answered our many questions. The audio tour was interesting and we truly enjoyed the sanitation trucks from Arizona and the older trucks in the sound proof room.
The trucks can’t be touched, something to be aware of if bringing younger children. Seeing the evolution of Mack was interesting and has had my son searching for Mack trucks on the road.
A requested donation of $5 a person is requested and it’s used to restore trucks in the collection.
We will be back again to see the next rotating exhibit.

What an amazing tribute to Mack Trucks and truck transportation in general. Learned so much and the displays are impressive. You’ll enjoy a couple of hours here, but without GPS, it would be a bit tricky to find. Great gift shop too!!

I came here this past Wednesday with my cousin. Her and I were totally amazed seeing all these vintage trucks on display. You name it this museum had it. We were given headphones to listen and learn about each truck that was displayed. I was especially interested in the Army trucks because of my father. He served in WW ll and probably had ridden in these. A very nice volunteer offered his perspective and information to me about these vehicles. Just fascinating to view vintage fire trucks and dump trucks of all kinds.
Just beware about using the GPS on their website. We wound up at a dead end. Then we put in their actual address and that took us smack dab into a Kia dealer. Thank goodness I called and a man answered and gave me exact directions from that point. Hard to believe we were five minutes away but to us it felt like we were never going to find this museum.

We visited in late December when attendance was low, which was fine by us. We had a small tour of four people, and our guide, a retired engineer (hi Jim) was part of the Mack team for 28 years, so he was extremely knowledgeable. Our tour lasted just under 2 hours, as we weren't in a hurry and there weren't others waiting, and we learned a lot about the growth of the company, the types of trucks and engines that were developed over time, the company's contribution to the war(s) efforts and more. The trucks on display have all been beautifully restored. While many visitors will know something about trucks in general, I didn't -- and it didn't matter at all, as there's something for everyone here. I've read about some people thinking the tours were too long -- I didn't feel that way -- but I suggest you mention before the tour starts that you might have limitations on your ability to stand, or whatever, beforehand. I would think, if possible, they would make an effort to accommodate you.

They have a number of the various types of equipment they manufacture. Some are unusual, some military, dump trucks and many others, tractor trailer trucks and the generally manufacture a truck every year with designs honoring the US military. It usually tours the country. They have also transported the Christmas tree going to the White House or Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Nice group of trucks but tour guide talked too long. They have a nice store for all things Mack. Worth the trip.

I was hoping for a great experience; however.... that isn't possible unless you want to listen to a guide spend an hour explaining every photograph they have on display showing the history of Mack trucks from 1900 thru 2010. (By the way, the Mack brother do NOT look like brothers to me.)
I love the history of the automobile business, but I cannot stand in one place for over an hour listening to the guide giving a complete history lesson.
We went to the Mack museum to see and experience the old vehicles and the history of the exhibits; not to stand with a several people and noisy kids while listening to a guide explain each and every of the thousand or more photos.
Good grief what the hell are they thinking, that older people can stand there for an hour or more listening to something they don't want to hear just to see some old vehicles? Have a heart; not everybody can take the physical abuse of standing within a small area for an hour or more.
I recommend staying away from this place until they change their policy.
The Anthem truck is awesome!

Great tour, especially if you have driven a Mack! Learned that Mack made airplanes and other little known facts. Display changes so always something new.

My husband took me to see this museum last week as we had never been there. The docent who took us on our tour was excellent and the whole tour was so interesting. If you like trucks and history, this place is for you. Mack trucks are iconic, but there is so much more to their story than just work trucks! Go see for yourself.

The Mack Truck Museum is definitely not a "walk to" location. We are locals and still needed to use our navigation system (in our private vehicle) to reach this location. The tour was well worth the trip for our group.

When I went in March there was no fee. They did say they would be charging at some point... It was worth going though, I would have paid to get in. :)

Is museum handicap accessible?

Yes, everything is handicap accessible. The museum, cafe, theater,store and bathrooms are all accessible. They have a platform leading to the inside of one of the trucks but they might not have a ramp. That might be the only limitation. Definitely go and have a great time. You can't go wrong and it's free.
