Pretty cool place! I liked the monument out front too. They have 3 vehicles that can be touched, which younger people (and the young at heart) enjoy tremendously.
Who knew tow trucks could be so interesting?! Great museum with lots of historical information. Towers throughout history are displayed beautifully and there is a great little film at the beginning. I loved it!
Wow, what a fascinating display of tow truck. You start with a short video. Less than 10 min, then you are free to roam the tow truck halls. There are 2 levels. No touching please. The vintage tow trucks are in amazing shape. All if them are very cool. They even let you sit the the Kei car tow truck. Very cool place to go.
Fantastic place. Highly recommended. Most of us take towing for granted without thinking much of it. When you leave this museum, you have a new understanding and appreciation. Mind blowing display of tow trucks, toy tow trucks and much much more. This place will blow your mind !
Not super big but it's one of the "weird" roadside attractions we like to check out. Lots of history and a lot of trucks to check out. Not super big but bigger then I was expecting. It all. Goes to a good cause and for being a tow truck museum it was pretty interesting. They offer coupons to another car museum if you purchase a ticket
Highly recommend this museum. Great place to spend an afternoon and learn about an industry that helped build America. While visiting pay close attention to the past Hall of fame President's as well as all the great model of tow trucks on display.
Definitely worth a stop to see the collection of trucks. There is an 5 minute introductory video on the location and profession which lends to the respect and safety of the industry of toe and recovery.
Fascinating museum in tow trucks and recovery vehicles. Lots of history and big selection of restored vintage trucks.
Plan to tour for two or so hours. Lots of trucks and material to read and enjoy.
Friendly staff. Safe parking. Easily accessible for sometime mobility needs.
Lots of good restaurants and other activities nearby.
Highly recommended.
This is a neat museum that can be easily overlooked if not considering it as a potential museum topic. Thankfully, someone found it to be just the right topic. This place commemorates the tough job of towing vehicles from today to when it first even became a concept historically speaking. If you live near Chattanooga, be sure to drop by and pay a visit!
Such a wonderful history that came right out of Chattanooga! I left with so much information and a keen insight into the history of Chattanooga between 19 and 20 and today. Really well laid out and thawed out especially enjoy all the information that was given to us by the presenter! we will definitely be back!
A must see when in Chattanooga! Glad I was able to check it out! The museum has some great artifacts on display, but also has a great cause behind it, to support families of operators who have passed away in the line of duty.
Loved spending time here. Very educational. Seeing some of the old trucks restored was something special. Marissa was also very kind to me. I am a motorcyclist and was stuck in the rain. She held onto my stuff so I didn’t drip everywhere. Thank you for the experience!
It was a cool little place and my wife and I were glad we stopped in. Most kid love the old trucks and who knew chattanooga is where the towing industry started or just how far it has came. I'd recommend stopping in. The staff was friendly and you can go through this at your own pace. Great place to kill time!
