Lane Motor Museum Vault Tours

Lane Motor Museum holds guided vault tours most weekends, giving families a behind-the-scenes look at vehicles not on display in the main galleries. With over 550 cars and motorcycles in the collection, the museum can only showcase about 150 at a time—these 45-minute tours let you explore many others stored below. Tours depart at set times, so arriving five minutes early helps you stay on schedule. Guests must stay within marked yellow lines for safety, as the storage area has slippery spots from oil and grease. Photography is welcome during your visit. The vault tour costs an additional $10 per person on top of regular museum admission and accommodates up to 30 people per tour. Tickets are first-come, first-served at the admissions counter with no advance reservations. The vault is accessed via a steep staircase from the main exhibit level, though staff can arrange alternative access through the building's back entrance if stairs aren't an option for your family. Check the museum's schedule before your visit, as vault tour times vary weekly and weekend offerings may change.
