Petersen Automotive Museum
The Petersen Automotive Museum is rated as the “the world’s greatest automotive museum” and features a collection of over 400 vehicles.
Through a partnership with Disney/Pixar, guests of all ages can visit the Cars Mechanical Institute (inspired by the animated film) to enjoy a variety of activities and displays. Kids can paint and personalize virtual cars, trace and color their own Cars character to take home, race toy cars around a racetrack, or build LEGO creations to race against friends. Visitors can even race against Lightning McQueen by checking out a Carspad and building their own virtual car with help from all of the friends in Radiator Springs.
Students (grades K-12) can also join Museum Educators on a 75-minute interactive road trip around the museum to explore the history and science of the automobile. Educators will guide students through fun STEAM-based activities to help facilitate learning.
Visitors can also get behind the wheel and experience the feeling of racing a car in the Forza Motorsport Racing Experience.
