A very nice car museum with rotating special exhibits. Cars are spaced apart far enough to get a good view and take your time studying them.

Nice exhibits that change regularly. Very interesting information about the vehicles and history of automobiles. The cafe has good food at reasonable prices.

This was an excellent place to stop in and spend time viewing the collections. The special collection featured during my visit is designer, hotroder, and TV host Chip Foose's personal collection. Very nice. He had chosen several trucks and classic Fords that I've always wanted to find and build. The building itself is spacious; I brought my elderly father in his wheel chair. There was plenty of space to roll him around vehicles and there are rest benches and restrooms throughout the halls. Fanciest artdeco restrooms we had ever been inside. We visited after eating out but there is a nice looking Cafe inside the entrance and we plan to come back and stop in for a snack next time. Only thing I can think of that would have improved the visit is if some vehicles could have displayed the engines but all in all a good time.

Great automotive museum in the Atlanta area with friendly and helpful staff, great rotating exhibits, and great food too. Love going to this museum so much

Last Sunday of 2023 day with my baby boy. Mini road trip to see some old school cars and trucks. It was cool to see vintage vehicles up-close.

The people working there are most helpful and courteous. Very clean and modern environment and the cars they have on display WOW! I could spend 1/2 a day there walking around easily.

Do I recommend? OH HECK YAZZ! The cars on display are constantly changing so they keep you coming back for more. The museum is named after the car (a Savoy) found on the land "which is now a permanent fixture outside"Inside you will find (as you enter) a very nice lunch area to your left (make sure you in there and look up) you will see a huge like 30 foot model a type wheel in the ceiling. To the right of the entrance you will see some artifacts from their other museums and Straightahead it's a gift shop. One of the features this time around was directional big foot Monster truck as well as and all electric Bigfoot "very cool"Inside there are separate rooms with different displays. I honestly could not tell you which was my favorite car as they all were straight up eye candy to me. The paint in some of the older vehicles are just amazing and the body lines reminded me why some cars are like a beautiful classy woman and others are like the party girl "both are fantastic in their own special way" One of the highlights "and there were many mind you" were the commissioned artwork, they actually had something that looked just like a painting but it was made from real Rubiks cubes! My favorite however was a picture a lady looking out of her truck it was lifelike. If you are into cars and want to experience a fantastic car exhibit come here, trust me you will not be disappointed.

I've driven by this place a number of times. Finally had a free Saturday afternoon with the wife and decided to check it out. I saw on the website they are also an event venue. Might be a cool place for our company Xmas party. But alas, the girl in charge of booking events works one day every 2 weeks. And it wasn't today. First, the outside looks great. Landscaping, building design, the giant chrome hood ornament. Guess that's how they draw you in. $15 seemed reasonable. We looked through 5 rooms and a main hallway full of cars. Maybe 50 total. All very nice. Wish the hoods were open. That seemed strange. But even reading all the info signs, we were done in 45 minutes. Seems bigger from the outside. Thought there would be more. They have a cafe. But what's the point with countless restaurants nearby. They also have a gift shop. Didn't fall for that either. They will mention the annual pass of course for $55. I can't see myself going back, let alone 4 times a year. I've been to an awful lot of car museums better that this for less money. I'm a car guy. A Chevy guy actually. I was marginally disappointed honestly. Good tourist trap not far off the interstate. Might be a money maker. I don't know.

The exterior of this building is beautiful. I couldn't believe how beautiful this building looked from far away. The acres of land are amazing. Is only $15 to get in and children $5. For being just a huge building, I was expecting more cars. They definitely have the room . It took me about 30 to 40 minutes to see everything. Nice area to eat plenty of room . But what else that sold me is that they have a movie theater inside. Great for dates or taking the family out. A must to do on my list. Nice collection of cars. Make sure you sign up for emails.

Beautiful facility but, far and away from being a world class automobile museum as advertised. No Ferrari's, Porsche's, Bugatti's, or other exotics. Very small exhibits that lack the "Wow" automobiles. After taking my time enjoying the few automobiles that were there I was still in and out in with my family in about 1 hour. My suggestion is to save your money, go to a good car show, and if you get a chance go to an honest world class museum like the Petersen Automotive Museum.
What went from a drive through the countryside became a visit to the car museum. The beautifully manicured lawn and the stark windswept sculpture mimicking the Pontiac hood ornament is a great place to go for a laid back easygoing visit. Many of the well know brands are prevalent along with an interesting hall for a special guest of interest. Beautiful well maintained treasures of the times gone past. There's about 50-60 cars there. So it's not cumulative. Just go an enjoy it. Great AC if you are worried about being warm, the rest rooms are spiffy, if you are hungry they have food. I highly recommend this

I'm not a car person. I actually held a pretty good job with a car manufacturer in California, umpteen years ago ... but car exhibits really don't interest me. HOWEVER ... I enjoyed my visit to the Savoy.The building is spacious and modern. Even the bathrooms are cool. Descriptions accompanying each vehicle are quite interesting. And you'll see things -- like Hank Williams Jr.'s truck -- that might pique your interest. The art (more my speed) is gorgeous.Admission is $15 per person. Would be nice if they had a senior discount.... Exhibits change periodically, and if this is your kind of place, you can get an annual pass. The grounds are beautiful, and parking is free.A good activity for a hot day. Air conditioning is strong!

One of the more impressive car museums I've been to yelp.com/collection/0cY-…. It's not a massive collection like the Porsche museum in Stuttgart or the Henry Ford in Dearborn but it is definitely large, well organized and varied. Unexpected to find something this great in rural Georgia. The exhibits rotate and I was fortunate to catch the "75 years of Porsche" which had a wonderful and approachable collection. I particularly appreciated that the windows on the bright yellow 1976 911S were rolled down. I was able to stick my head inside and inhale - it smelled just like the 1980 911 that my Dad used to own. Happy memories.Lots of other really impressive vehicles on display. It was fun listening to the owner of the 1949 Jaguar XK210 Roadster talk about how he acquired it and how he takes care of it.Free wifi and a neat gift shop. You can expect to spend at least two or three hours here looking at these amazing works of art. It's going to be tough deciding which pictures to include with the review as I took nearly 100![Review 20057 overall - 655 in Georgia - 1032 of 2023.]

I'll check off this as #4 of Cartersville's big 5 of museums & historical sites (Tellus, Booth, Etowah Mounds, Savoy & Bartow Historical). This is a fairly new museum & is well maintained. Lots of antiques cars & trucks in beautiful condition. Especially liked by this Ga. Tech grad was the Ga. Tech section sporting a replica Model A "Ramblin' Wreck" as well as half-dozen GT-student-built contraptions from solar-cell powered electric to a dune buggy looking "wreck." There's not much for younger kids unless they just really love cars. Even the gift shop has precious little for kids (hey, maybe that's good!). Maybe they'll add a kids play area after they've been open longer. One gripe - we tried to go on July 4th after calling (a recording) & visiting website & finding nothing to suggest it was closed. We drove the 30-minutes to Cartersville only to find the barriers up & all dark. I emailed to request at least adding something like "closed on holidays" but never heard back. Anyway, except for that the grounds, cars & facility are really nice.
