Super cool experience! Very clean and works well with Covid guidelines to keep every one distant and healthy but still provides a good time for everyone. Kids had a blast & cost friendly! Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to visit when passing through.

Excellent display of nascar history and current cars. Being able to see some of the original cars and individuals from the bootleggers really gives perspective about how far the sport has come.

This place is a must for any Nascar Fan. Extremely interactive for both kids and adults. So much great history on exhibit here, so take your time and spend a few hours here walking through it all. Well worth the price of admission. There is a parking garage adjacent to the HOF so take advantage of that if you can.

Had a great time with my daughter! Was perfect for a rainy day. We spent more time then expected and as a teen she loved it...

Although I am not a follower of NASCAR, the HOF is pretty impressive. I enjoyed the historical aspects of the sport, including its founders. My Grandson loved it and took advantage of virtual racing, pitcrew activities and seeing the actual cars displayed on the progressively inclined track. My only dislike was the extra costs incurred with a few of the activities and the very expensive prices in the souvenir store. I thought that charging for pictures they take of your family upon entrance, should be at no cost...post script, I saw as many seniors there as the youngsters !

Wonderful day at Nascar Hall of Fame. Took the Racing Insiders Tour which includes lots of outdoor activities. A full day worth of knowledge and fun. The tour guide was awesome. The Hall of Fame itself is a great choice for the wonderful collection on display and the interactive activities. Perfect location in downtown Charlotte, across the street from the Convention Center and within walking distance of most hotels in the area.

Im not a NASCAR fan but my husband is. This was really nice they have interactive things. You actually do they stuff on pit crew like change tire and the gas can. A simulated race. You pay extra for but a Single ride Is 5$. I really liked the interactive stuff. You can also do an audio tour. I thought it was really nice.

This is an awesome place to visit. Great to either remember the past or learn about nascar through displays and interactive exhibits and experiences. You can participate as a shop crew through checker flag and flag man. Has pit crew challenge and qualifying lap simulators. Would highly recommend for the young or the old, the super fans or someone that is not a fan.

A long, long time ago, i would beg my father to take me here after church. most times it was a no, but when it was a yes, I was thrilled. had my birthday here one year, the driving games are so fun.(if they still have those Sence carona) I went there 13 times and even saw a nascar driver there. so fun and writing this brings back so many memories.

This is a great place for anyone with an interest in NASCAR. Wether you go with the guys or take the whole family. Its a great experience for all. My husband and I have been many times over the last several years. Hes very knowledgeable in everything NASCAR, not just current stats and news. He knows it all the way back to the roots. He knows people associated with the NASCAR world and was the one who got to mix the paint for Bennys car (hes very proud of that!) Today was our best experience. It is the second time weve been since we had our little one. The staff was all so kind as our little one ran around and explored the world of NASCAR, being able to interact with the touch screens, play with the track and see all the people. A special thanks to a staff member named Matt. He gave our little girl her first car (that will be cherished forever in her daddys NASCAR themed shop) not only did you make her day, you made ours. As parents your kindness goes so far. It goes past that big smile on her face. It touched us as you were so kind, took time to come over and talk with her! We will definitely be back to put our membership pass to use.

Wow. This stop proved to be so much more than we expected! Definitely fun even for non-Nascar fans. Great activities for kids (we met the education program director while there are were blown away) ... build your own car, make your own trophy, decorate your own flag ... lots of fun stuff. Really impressive. Excellent customer service from everyone we encountered. Spotless restrooms and great food in the cafe (at a reasonable price). I would definitely add this stop to your trip.

An awesome place to visit for NASCAR fans like me and people who barely know about the sport. I loved it as soon as I walked in and enjoyed every car, exhibit and interactive booth. My favorite was the simulator and the pit stop challenge.

I just went here ,its pretty awesome,i really enjoyed the simulated racing,id have to say that was my favorite part,the staff is very friendly&helpful,however i was a little dissapointed when i got to the giftshop,im a diehard Dale Sr fan&they barely had any merchandise of his,i mean its Nascar hall of fame after all rt?&Dale Sr /#3 is 1 of the biggest hall of famers in my opinion,1 of the employess told me that they dont carry much of his merchandise bcuz theresa wont allow it,i understand,i was just expecting to be able to buy some Dale stuff,other than that the gift shop is pretty cool,definately go visit this place if u are into Nascar,its a must see!very clean&everything displayed is very cool to see,i really liked the short film they show about how nascar started,that was awesome!!!#3 forever!RIP Dale sr.

Came here on a trip with my grandpa (a NASCAR nut!), and we had a great time! The simulators were super fun, and he walked us through much of the history of the sport. I loved the split cars on the top floor that showed the differences between racing and street legal cars. Really great stuff, could spend several hours there, and Im not even a huge fan. Lots of interactive stuff, including a station where you can be a pit crew, and race others. Such a great time!

Amazing venue for an event and terrific staff! We had our event at this venue and not only was the staff extremely helpful, but the venue itself was a perfect size for our event!Prior to the event, we worked with Nathaniel (Nat) on the production/IT side of things to ensure our event had the appropriate signage. Not only did Nat help us with determining the layout for our event, but he event went above and beyond to help us with our logos/images to ensure we were well represented on every monitor (see images for examples of how amazing this turned out).We also didnt realize how many options we would have for signage and event details - making our event much more official and professional plus allowing us to easily communicate the various aspects of our event (registration, open bar area, speaker panel, etc.). Our partners/sponsors also loved the fact their logos were shown on multiple screens and looked extremely professional.The auditorium was a perfect venue for the size of audience we had and to allow intimacy while still accommodating a rather large audience. The staff during the event were also amazing, especially Kathy. She also went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed prior to the event, during the event and even after the event (even though our event went a bit longer than planned).We also had a full sit down dinner after the panel discussion and the food was terrific. When catering to an audience of this size, the food is often poor to average quality, but the Nascar Hall Of Fame did a great job putting together a number of options that were perfect for all of our audience members, including the vegans/vegetarians. Next year, we will probably consider allowing our guests to choose between more of the available options, but the food was high quality with moist, well-seasoned chicken, quality fresh vegetables, and both a chocolate cake and cheese cake worth the calories!Overall, we were very pleased with the event and we will definitely be back again.

Review №28

Only for true NASCAR fans. The entrance fee is pretty steep at 25 dollars. The hall of fame is cool though. The glory road is very cool to track the changes of the cars and tracks throughout history. I enjoyed being able to walk on and feel the difference of the banks of different tracks. The theater showed a very rushed and shallow movie about the history of NASCAR. The race week experience was very in depth and interactive. It could seem daunting to not NASCAR fans. I loved the history exhibit on the top floor. Full of cool exhibits and memorabilia. Hard to recommend to people based on price and lack of accessibility of the exhibits.

This is a great place to visit regardless if youre a NASCAR fan or not. Coming up from a family that enjoyed the old hay day of NASCAR when racing was truly racing it was a great experience!

As a handicaped individual i was harassed because i cant wear a mask. Managment was rude and threatened me to have me arrested for trespassing. After i paid for largest package and i tried to conform. The whole visit i was in distress. From my asthma and anguish! It was horrible! It was constant harassment yet i rushed through and didnt enjoy at all. It was obvious that it was political from most. Down right rude at times. Yet because trip meant so much to my kids i held my temper. See as a disabled vet that has been a p.o.w and went through things i wouldnt wish on nobody. I explained this and the manager said she would give me my money back and kick us out if i didnt conform. Total discrimination! I wont be back and i wont ever recommend to anyone.

When I say I lost my mind here! I lost my mind! Ima huge nascar fan and they have everything there for you to experience nascar! The raw history of nascar and man the staff there was great! Minus one guy that thought I didnt know about the cars because I was ready to get into the simulator and race... BUT! None the less I LOVED IT! I recommend everyone to check this place out! Even if youre not into Nascar you will love it! I can go on and on but you have to experience the awesomeness of this place for yourself!

One of the best time activities in Charlotte for the kid – and the kid at heart, is the Nascar Hall of Fame. Guests depict the experience as heart-beating and insane fun. Four stories of interactive exhibits await you in this famous landmark of the new south. Nascar Hall of Fame is huge and takes a few hours to explore, but the experience is worth it.

Review №39

Mixed feeling on this attraction: On one hand its a must if you like Nascar and all the history around it. On the other side tickets are quiet expensive for what you get, you have some attractions, some cars and so on, but it could be a little bit less. I liked it, but you must really be a Nascar fan to enjoy all the stuff. I give it 4 stars - a real fan would give 5 stars, people who have no connection with Nascar may give only 1 star ...

Easy to forget that Nascars origin being in NC! Incredible exhibits, simulation races, and even a spot to try your hand at changing tires like a crew member!! Using drills and all. The exhibits include cars, trophies, and uniforms. Varying from older to newer cars, there is so much history at this place. You can also purchase some headphones and have a NASCAR hall of famer give you the tour around! A must visit while in Charlotte.

Review №54

Nascar, if you are reading this then listen to me please. I was all over your website, read it all and decided on the victory lane package. Got there and I am told no packages after 230pm. No where on any informative literature pertaining to this establishment does it say that. I was so disappointed. You need to put that in with the info and I should not have to tell you. The stimulation was boof. No way thats the same stimulation the drivers use. I got in and my paddle shifted to reverse and all I was doing was driving in backward circles. My wheel was upside down, yeah that is so realistic.

My husband and I aren’t NASCAR (or auto racing in general) fans. However, we both enjoyed the Hall of Fame and the interactive displays. Unfortunately, not all of the displays were functioning. Don’t miss the Pit Stop and the Race Simulation. Remember to do your qualifying round (it will make the simulation must easier). Staff is very helpful and informative.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame, honors drivers who have shown exceptional skill at NASCAR driving, all-time great crew chiefs and owners, broadcasters and other major contributors to competition within the sanctioning body.It has enough interactive activities to make it an enjoyable experience even if you never heard of NASCAR. It is so interactive and well thought out, the pit stop competition was a blast for everyone in our party (I will try to upload a video, its hilarious!). There were several other simulations, both hands on and computerized. All had readily available staff for explanation or assistance.The museum area was nicely dispersed with artifacts and vignettes. The third floor has the Hall of Honor, which displays the plaques and memorabilia of this years inductees, the rest of the floor was designed to take you from building a car through race day through various displays and hands-on activities. The official driving simulator is really fun! you can realize your dreams of flipping, spinning, and otherwise destroying a Sprint Cup car. You get a couple of minutes to sit in a replica of a car, and drive qualifying laps on whatever track they are using that day.Do yourself a favor and GO… I promise you will love it!

WOW!!! We loved the Nascar hall of Fame!!Excellent day trip. So interesting and informative and just alot of fun!! We took my Mom for her 77th Birthday (her only wish) and we were greeted by the friendliest and sweetest group of people. My Mom got gifts from the greeters because we were celebrating her Birthday there. They actually found her throughout the day and kept giving her lil treats. That was so very special. The simulator was too much fun and my hubby, and son and I enjoyed racing each other!!! Husband won but he is a professional driver...so....he had that on us! Lol. Definitely go to spend the day!!!

First time visitor to the Nascar Hall of Fame, I was there for a symposium so there were no crowds just bunch of technology geeks. I have to say it was so cool seeing all the cars, history and the inner workings of the engines. No matter if youre a Nascar fan or not you will enjoy visiting the museum as it has been thoughtfully designed to engage everyone from small child to grumpy old men.

Review №84

Cool spot for Nascar fans. I was a big fan in the mid and late 90s. Lots of history and stuff to read about. The coolest thing was the cars throughout the years on the different banks of the various tracks. There are a lot things to do for little kids, video game racing, hands on things for testing, pit crew challenges and paint your own virtual race car. I went when a school and a business of some sort was there, so it was kind of crowded. The price to get in I think was a little high for what it is. But if youre a fan of the sport it is a must go.

Review №85

My class and I were just at the NASCAR hall of fame last we and we were given the best treatment from the staff and had an amazing experience. They treated us like we were investors and made the time we had available with them worthwhile. They first started by introducing themselves and telling us what they do which made the whole experience a lot better and personal. The staff also gave us time to look around the museum and see all of the interesting things they had on display. They also made sure we had a fun time and would remember the time we spent with them. They gave us the opportunity to race cars and be part of a pit crew which gave the whole experience more of a fun outlook. Finally, when we were running out of the time they made sure to tell us about the CRVA and about what they do and how insane it is. Once they realized we didn’t have much time before we had to leave they made sure to give us lunch ideas so we could make it to our next destination on time. Overall the staff was incredible while making sure we understood what they do and being friendly the whole time.

We enjoyed our visit here. Lots of cool cars to see and interesting information to read and listen to. The simulation is really just like a typical racing video game. We upgraded our passes for that, but its nothing special. The pit crew experience is fun, but also frustrating because it didnt work right half the time or the clock would keep running after we finished. The first time we went, they had a kids room with some fun activities, but that was taken out recently.

Review №97

We always follow nascar races on weekends spot was natural to want to go to the martinsburg races. Arriving at the races we were so excited to be in the place where so many races have been won and champions made. However, this two day race was historic for many reasons because we like many others lost our total value of $600 in tickets + hotel and gas because of a freak snow storm that blew threw and shut the nascar event down- the first in many years!!!!!! . Unfortunately, in cases like this, nascars plan to attend the next week day race did not help us as we had to return for work. This would be my only hang up. We’ll catch the race another time but meanwhile the museum is awesome!What a wonderful tribute to a well loved sport! Having the displays, photos and memorabilia archived for viewing is awesome and so needed. Absolutely love this.
