    Awesome museum! All the employees are super friendly and the museum itself was beautifully laid out. Could easily have spent a few hours there, reading all the history and checking out all the cars. Remember there are 2 buildings! Highly recommend even if you are not into racing, I will definitely be back so I can really check everything out. I was only able to stop by for an hour and it wasnโ€™t enough time!

    I went yesterday and all I can say is that I am impressed at all the stuff they had on display, they had race cars from almost every racing series I can think of. The only thing I think they should change is adding ropes around the more expensive cars because I saw some small kids climbing on them and touching the bodies of the cars. Other then that, I had a smile under my mask my the entire time I was in both buildings. I would definitely come back here if I didn't live out of state also I was asked there how much I would rate it out of 10 and I quickly chose 7 just to say something and I felt so bad after I said that, I would give it at least a 9 because some of the interactive stuff in the room to the left of the entrance weren't on. Other than that I fully recommend going here!

    The Unser family racing history was an amazing. So glad we did this spur of the moment stop.

    Had an amazing time here! You'd be able to have a great time even if you're not into Indy 500. As a Formula One fan, I found the whole museum extremely interesting and exciting. Staff was very friendly and informative and even as we were speaking they would mention what would be similar or different between the two racing subjects. Kids had a blast too. There are a few things for the kids in terms of interactive projects or games/videos in one of their rooms, including a couple of karts they are able to sit and imagine themselves driving in! As having two young ones, I wasn't able to go through everything so certainly I will be back, but in all honesty I'd be back anyway as it is such a nice and informative attraction.

    Very nice museum a must if in Albuquerque! Hate that they are no longer a racing family. But this museum has lots of items from their family and some items on loan. I would suggest at least 3 hours to see as much as possible. I shared a few photos but did not want to totally spoil a trip

    If Indy car legends could have their own โ€œpresidential library,โ€ this is what it would be. A must visit museum for Indy car fans showcasing the entire Unser family from their beginnings at pikes peak to historic success at Indianapolis. It was a treat to have their tour guide and historian Tom walk around with us telling stories of the exhibits.

    If you are a car guy or like motorsports, this is a must see. The people who greet and guide you can tell you interesting stories behind a lot of the displays/ cars. I grew up in Indiana and watched the Unser family on TV. This place was awesome. You can donate 100 dollars and get your name on a brick out front of the museum.

    Went to the Unser Racing Museum with the family for the first time. Everyone enjoyed seeing the cars and trophies. They have a room for kids with hands-on activities. Staff was very friendly and informative.

    2 museums showcasing the Unser family. From starting out in go carts to IndyCar. From Pike's Pike to Indy 500. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    Friendly staff and a great museum for anyone that grew up watching the Unser's race. Lots of history in this place.

    First time in this museum, Employees are very friendly. Family friendly and very inexpensive. My boys enjoyed it as much as I did!

    The racing museum caught me off guard. It's unassuming on the outside, but an amazing museum on the inside. See race cars, motorcycles, model T ford's, and so much more. All interwoven with the Unser family story. I'm not a huge racing fan, and even I was really interested in it once I went in!

    I was very impressed with the exhibits and historic information. The Unser achievements are certainly impressive. The staff were very friendly. I imagined I would be there about one hour, but ended up staying for at least two or three hours. Since I was traveling, I took a lot of photos, especially of the signage and things I didn't expect to see in the museum, so I had more to discover on my phone during my journey over the next couple days. I thought it was a great way to spend part of my time in Albuquerque.

    This place has so much history. It is so interactive that you can't help but learn as you emerse your self in the entire world of racing. From the tires to various cars from Nascar and formula 1 cars it is very enjoyable ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘Œ. I recommend everyone go here especially with your kids . Also lightning McQueen and Mater in the front parking lot welcome you as you enter they put a smile ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜Š on your face.
