motorcycle hall of fame museum

I visited the museum over the weekend on a snowy Saturday. Since the weather was not great, my guy and I were the only people in the museum. It was quiet and empty so we got to take our time looking at everything and reading the descriptions. There are some really cool items inside the museum like the police motorcycle from the movie Terminator 2 and Evil Knievel's motorcycle. It was cool to see the progression of the first motorcycles in the early 1900's to the ones of present day. They even have a electric motorcycle that was made recently. For those into art, they currently have an art exhibition with motorcycle inspired work. That exhibit leaves in the beginning of May.

The AMA hall of fame is extremely nice small but worth the trip. Glad I took the very scenic way route 204 instead of the interstate around Columbus. Would love to see them add on. Had a wonderful time. Also ask the staff questions about some of the bikes and hall of fame members in there good way to brush up on motorcycle history.

We are on a six month holiday in the US and Europe and are now down to our last three weeks before we arrive home in Oregon. I was raised in California and raced desert through the 70s. I predominantly raced Bultacos and Montessas and I will admit even though I have now seen some of the most famous museums in Europe this is the one I was waiting for and it did not disappoint! The lady at the entrance was great to talk to and really made us feel at home and as a disabled Veteran for the two of us it was $5 each! Even the really cool t-shirts were $15 each and also picked up a cool sign for my garage since I now ride a Triumph and snagged a copy of the movie, "Why We Ride"! Another lady was preparing some motorcycles to be taken to a show and even took us to the garage area where the bikes were waiting to be loaded. Talk about engaging with your customers.The exhibits here are way to numerous to mention but there is every form of motorcycle racing represented as well as lots of exhibits for motorcycle enthusiasts, historians, advocates of freedom, etc. I even saw a trophy Desert Racer Bruce Ogilvie had won and it's the same one I have so really brought back great memories of the Mexican and California Desert. Regardless of your level of love for 2 wheels I highly recommend the museum as a great way to spend a few interesting hours! Be safe and keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!

I have been wanting to go here for years but just never did. This stop was not on my list for today. I was on a motorcycle trip and do to a missed turn I ended up in front of the Museum.I did not expect to see it on this "odyssey". The people there were very eager to visit and the displays were great. If you like motorcycles this is a must. If you don't you still need to stop as it is part of our heritage. It is clean and well laid out. The signage to get to it could be a little better but you can find it. I would go again.

We were surprised to find the AMA motorcycle museum on beautiful tree lined grounds. The building is new but the contents highlight motorcycles and racing of the past. It is a self guided tour that traces the history behind the sport. It is not necessary to be a member of AMA(American Motorcycle Association or the American Medical Association) to enjoy the museum.

As a long time A.M.A. member, I'd always seen the articles on some of the vintage bikes at the museum but nothing could compare to seeing it all in person. All the historic motorcycles and memorabilia. Make sure your camera has fresh batteries (mine didn't), as there's lots of stuff you'll want to be able to look at later and it's hard to remember it all. The staff was very friendly and eager to answer questions that may arise

It's a small place, but has lots of neat old and new motorcycles. It also has nice motorcycle parking spaces under cover around the building. Definitely a great place to stop, have a picnic and look at some cool bikes.

Always wanted to see this, and every motorcyclist should. Great displays and for a geezer like me, lots of bikes I have ridden and race memories. Highly recommended.

This is a neat museum not very far off the highway. I took a lot of pictures of cool motorcycles. I like the old Indians and Harleys they had on display. I liked the variety of other bikes as well. I also thought the part about motorcycle advocacy was a really cool part of the museum. The Evel Knevel X-Ray's were a unique touch to go with his motorcycle.

I've driven past Pickerington many times and have seen the sign for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. My lunch appointment cancelled so I decided to stop in on a Wednesday afternoon. Very cool stop for $10 entry ($9 with AAA Card) - you can spend as much or as little time as possible here. Saw bikes from 1904 all the way up to current bikes. Very cool for anybody who's into street bikes or dirt bikes - plenty of neat history & credit to the pioneers who've made motorcycling such a great past time over the years.

I loved looking at all the old Bikes expecially the old Indians we rode our Harley there it was very interesting I might say.

My husband & I went here to spend a day together. We try to do things with our budget in mind. We used an entertainment book coupon & was able to both get in for $10! It was a great day learning about the history & people of motorcycling. I loved all the old bikes on display. The patio/cafe area is gorgeous & allows for a small snack from vending machines. As there were only 2/3 other people in the museum is was some great quality time too. I would recommend this for anybody who wants to explore motorcycling-street, off road etc. Easy on the budget too!

Young and old, fans or not, this museum has color, style, and the underlying sensation of roaring power that appeals to all.

My husband and I took a day trip just to get away and decided to visit the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum near Columbus, OH. We really enjoyed it! The museum sits on a lovely piece of property, very park like. He loves motorcycles, but I don't know much about them. He was able to share so much of the history with me as we went through the museum and I loved it! We both learned a lot. It's small, but very well done. If you're in the Columbus area and are at all interested in motorcycles, it's worth your time. Afterward we went up to the city for lunch and some shopping. Cabela's is close by at Polaris Parkway so of course we had to stop there!! :)

While I'm not really a motorcycle aficionado, my husband is, and we spent a pleasant hour at this fun walk down memory lane (for him.)With displays highlighting the pioneers of the sport, from leisure riding to racing and dirt-biking, there's something for everyone if you enjoy riding. There's even a little cafe area where they have "On Any Sunday" playing in a constant loop if you get tired of walking through the exhibits.It's not a big place, and can easily be covered in an hour to 90 minutes. Great fun if you're already a fan, and not really painful at all if you're just along for the ride (so to speak!).
