Chicago Auto Show ticket stubs

good for half-price Volo Auto Museum admission

 

VOLO — Planning to be among the hundreds of thousands who’ll take in the sights at this year’s Chicago Auto Show Feb. 13-21 at McCormick Place?

 

Hang on to those ticket stubs, and enjoy half off admission for more automotive excitement at the Volo Auto Museum. The offer is good for 30 days after the Chicago Auto Show closes, or through March 21, said Brian Grams, director of the museum at 27582 Volo Village Road.

 

The Volo Auto Museum was a longtime participant in the Chicago Auto Show, bringing displays from 1976 until the mid 2000s, when the decision was made to stop due to the toll that wintertime transportation was taking on the museum’s vintage cars.

 

Museum officials nonetheless remain enthusiastic fans of the show, which dates back to 1901.

 

“The Chicago Auto Show is a fantastic venue for auto enthusiasts to see the latest and greatest in automotive technology,” Grams said. “We encourage folks to follow that up with a visit here to see automotive history — as well as all of the new exhibits we’ve added that include everything from vintage snowmobiles to scooters, Disney memorabilia and more.

 

“The Volo Auto Museum is a terrific family outing, and this is a way for people who obviously love cars to enjoy it at a terrific price.”

 

The half-price officer is good at a rate of one Chicago Auto Show stub for one admission, and may not be combined with any other discount offers.

 

The Volo Auto Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. It features roughly 400 classic, antique, muscle and Hollywood cars — and much more. Admission is $14.95 for adults, $8.95 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and younger. For other information, call 815-385-3644 or find Volo Auto Museum on Facebook.
