Classic Car Collection

This collection of over 200 cars represents one man's 41-year love affair with the automobile. It also represents America's love affair and fascination with automobiles and the evolution of our society around the world of wheels. You'll see a variety of body types and styles. You'll enjoy the incredible detail crafted into many of these vehicles - artistic hood ornaments, instrument gauge panels, wheel styles and headlights. Coordinated together to tell their own stories and help us track the evolution of the model and of the age of automobiles. IPads are provided free of charge to give you additional photographs of the vehicle's details - some not able to be seen by the public as well as more information about the vehicles. This attraction is more than just automobiles. It features artistic displays, interactive multi-media shows and models.

Yanney Park has many great features to enjoy the Tower overlooks the Park and you can see the area from above. The walking gardens are beautiful when they are in bloom and the kids love the water park, paddle boats, bike trails and easy access to area for water sports. The park is located next to the Petersen Senior Center where you can call in or stop by to enjoy lunch. Great building for outdoor family gatherings, weddings, etc. Great stop for family picnics or a quick walk.

What a perfect way to celebrate a birthday! I booked a unicorn party for my daughter and it did not disappoint. The kids learned about how to safely interact with horses and spent time decorating their hooves and giving the horses a new look with hair chalk to get comfortable around them and practice interacting before getting a pony ride. All of the kids had a lovely time. We are looking forward to spending more time doing trail rides or private lessons with Christine and her beautiful horses.
