since I don't really have any interest in nascar, the hall of fame was not a place that I ever expected to visit. but, since i am teaching a summer camp, this was a field trip we went on this past week.
the movie (about 15 minutes) was actually very interesting and was the best part of the experience for me.
the people who worked there were all very friendly and helpful. they seem to have a LOT of people working there.
there really were only a few interactive things for the kids to do and the kids we brought (elementary age) were too young to enjoy the few hands-on activities. several of the displays were broken or did not work correctly.
luckily i didn't have to pay for my entrance but $20 seems pretty steep. also, if you want to actually do the driving in the car "ride", that is an additional $14.
overall, this would be a great place to go if you are really into racing. if you aren't into cars, this museum is just so-so.
