Default HD Museum

Flying up to Wisconsin later this afternoon to visit the son and grandson's. Is the HD Museum worth the time spent and the 20 bucks admission? I am a HD enthusiast and history buff.

YES! Stopped in last summer on the way back from out west, we timed it so we could do the museum during the day, lunch at the restaurant, and bike night later. They have some pretty amazing items there, food was good, and bike night was just as fun.

are you a retired veteran? if so and you have an id card, then you get a military discount. or if you're a senior, then they also have a sr. discount. think it's $16 bucks then.....

and yes, it is worth it. it's got a lot of really cool stuff. and while you're there, grab a sandwich and a beer at the motor café. pretty good microbrew

Live 10 minutes away and have been multiple times so I say Yes worth it. They will have bike night down there tomorrow so you could do tour tomorrow then watch all the bikes roll in after. They get some cool vintage and custom stuff roll through bike night there. Also recommend to head south a block and check out Iron Horse bike night as well. Enjoy our city tons of things going on right now i.e. summerfest, multiple firework shows, jazz in the park, beer gardens are open etc. Just need the giant air conditioner (lake Michigan) to turn off.

Thanks for the quick replies. Off to the airport, and I do believe we will go see the museum, and some other places mentioned.

Well not going to make it. Spent 7 hours in the airport for a cancelled flight and no more seats on any airline tonight or tomorrow. Maybe another time I will get to visit the museum.
