Located just an hour outside of Chicago, the museum attracts locals and traveling tourists alike. This year marks the family-owned business’ 65th anniversary. It includes 75 acres of exhibits and attractions for all ages. In the past three years, the Volo Museum underwent a massive multi-million-dollar makeover, and now includes everything from enhancements and renovations to countless new exhibits, including guided trolley rides, an ice cream parlor, a new BBQ menu, an animatronic dinosaur park, live reptiles and a Titanic Museum. Most recently, a brand-new snowmobile and snow machine exhibit with incredible pieces was added, and a military museum will be opening this Memorial Day weekend. The Volo Museum is also launching a show called “Volo House of Cars,” which will air on Tubi later this spring.
