Hydroplane and Race Boat Museum

Fantastic museum and very helpful, knowledgeable volunteers working there to maintain these legendary hydroplanes and racing history. Rekindled memories of the famous racers/races of the past. Thanks to all the volunteers! So fun seeing the restoration work underway, providing a better understanding of how the hydroplanes are built. Worth every penny to visit! Take your kids, may inspire them towards STEM careers!

Every museum should be like this. You're actually in a workshop, with some classic icons stored nearby. Every corner is something else cool to see. I asked one of the boat builders if he is restoring to float them. "To RUN them," he corrected me. "Nearly everything is restored to be run again." Highly recommended.

Skip and Jeff and team took great personal interest in us while visiting. Got to hear stories and share a laugh with them. I highly recommend this as a must visit for hydro fans of any age. We will be back.
