Corvette Museum to Manage Tours of the Corvette Assembly Plant


Like so many others, I’ve been to the National Corvette Museum numerous times over the past 20-plus years.

The highlight for me and my family has always been the tours of the Corvette Assembly Plant across the street. Seeing our favorite car come to life never gets boring.

In the past, only three tours were scheduled each day, making it hard to get tickets during busy times of the year.

Now, though, the National Corvette Museum will be in charge of managing the public tours of the factory, and what that means for enthusiasts is a much expanded schedule.

In fact, according to a release from the Museum, starting in the next few weeks, tours will be available every 15 minutes, with the first tour at 8:30 a.m. CT and the last tour leaving at 1:45 p.m. CT.

Tickets have gone up slightly, to $10 for adults and $5 for youth ages 10-16, but now a discounted combo ticket for the Plant and Museum is available for just $16. For what you will be treated to, that ranks as one of the biggest entertainment bargains around!

“We are in the business to build cars,” said GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant Manager Kai Spande. “The National Corvette Museum is in the hospitality and tourism business and currently leads a number of tour programs in the plant, including R8C Museum Delivery, Experience, VIP Tours, Photo Albums and Buyers’ Tours. It was only fitting to add the public tour program to their list of offerings.”

If you want to make sure you get into the factory tour, you can buy tickets for the plant tours online at www.corvetteplanttours.com or you can gamble and buy your tickets at the Museum or Plant. The combo tickets will be available online or at either location. Online tickets have to be purchased at least 24 hours before your tour time.

As before, the plant tours, which last about an hour, are usually available Monday through Friday (unless something is going on at the factory – you can check those dates at www.corvetteplanttours.com).

By the way, no cell phones, cameras, crutches, purses, backpacks, or electronic devices are allowed on the tour, and closed toe and closed heel shoes are required. Wheelchairs on a first come, first serve basis are available for free.
