Volo Village Parks
The Volo Auto Museum’s gorgeous parks are the perfect place for everything from a small picnic to a major car club gathering or show. More than $1 million has been invested in landscaping on the museum’s 30-acre grounds during the past few years.
The result is breathtaking, with brick-paved walkways, bubbling fountains, manicured flower beds and shrubbery, dozens of new trees and a shaded picnic area. The beautiful gardens bloom with color from early spring through late fall.
The Volo Auto Museum features three distinctive parks available to the public for various uses:
