I went there in 2016. It's a good place to take your kids out on weekends. It's very big and you can take your time to walk around. I suggest you bring your own snacks.

By Starry Sky News |

It is indeed a place worth visiting!

The venue is very large, with a total of five floors. In addition to domestic and foreign car displays, there are also various interactive experiences. The engine exhibition hall has special lectures for children. The environment is very good and futuristic. There are too many exhibits and it takes a whole day to see them all. The fifth floor is the history of cars, from ancient horse-drawn carriages to the first Mercedes-Benz car. It is very interesting. Picture six is ​​my son’s favorite mileage drum car, an engineering vehicle used to record road mileage in ancient times. Picture seven is my favorite car [snickering], those old guys are really good-looking.

The ticket price is a touching ¥20 adult ticket, which is great value.

I saw good publicity online before, saying that it is a good place to go with children. The whole museum should be relatively small, not as crowded as the Science and Technology Museum, but basically all the people are children. The museum has a total of five floors. The first floor seems to be open to the public for free, and ticket collection starts from the second floor. Therefore, there is no direct elevator from the first floor to the second floor. If you bring a stroller, you have to take two escalators.



The only thing that attracted me was the car explosion display. The other exhibits were a few cars and the ancient chariots on the top floor. I felt that the whole museum was really rough. I believe that this museum is mainly for children, but the safety facilities are not designed carefully. For example, the edges of many display boards are still super sharp. I guarantee that if children are playing and bumping into them, the museum will definitely shirk responsibility. In addition, parking spaces are limited, and the phenomenon of illegal parking is serious. It is a long way from the parking lot to the museum. Due to unclear signs, it is easy to go the wrong way.

I came here alone on the weekend when I was bored. There were many children. I also want to bring my children here in the future.

The museum has a total of 5 floors. It is recommended to start the visit from the 5th floor. First, you can understand the history of automobile development from a macro perspective, and then go deeper into the micro level to understand the knowledge of automobile production and manufacturing, which is easier for visitors to perceive. The theme of the 5th floor is the Creation Hall, which mainly introduces the history of the birth and development of automobiles. Various modern cars are displayed on this floor. The theme of the 4th floor is the Progress Hall, which introduces the knowledge of automobile design, production, and manufacturing. The theme of the 3rd floor is the Future Hall, which shows the infinite possibilities of future automobile development with the development of new energy and new materials. There are restaurants and souvenir shops on the 2nd floor.

After a detailed visit, you will have a deeper understanding of the automobile, the most successful industrial product of the 19th century.

By Keep exploring |

The Automobile Museum is a special museum with unique features. It takes about 2 hours to complete.

By Young old man |

It is a museum worth visiting. There are many types of cars. You can learn about the history of automobiles. There are many different experiences in the experience area. The museum is beautifully decorated. Each floor has its own theme. You can watch it from the top floor.



There are restaurants and fast food in the museum. The prices are not cheap and the taste is average, but not inedible.



Because my son likes cars very much, I brought him here to play. It's a really nice place. Tickets can be purchased through China-TravelNote and there are discounts, haha

When I was a child, Beijing was a big bicycle city; today, cars are restricted and you need to draw a license plate to buy a car; in the future, driverless cars are ready to go... If you want to know more about the development of automobiles, go to the Beijing Automobile Museum to find the answers.



The Beijing Automobile Museum, which was completed at the end of 2007, is located in Fengtai District and is the first automobile museum in China. The overall appearance of the museum is like a bright big "eye", which means to broaden your horizons and face the world.



We bought a double ticket in advance on Dianping.com, which was much cheaper than the original price. The next day, we exchanged the tickets at the ticket office in the shape of a train carriage in the northeast corner of the museum before entering the museum, which was very convenient.



The Beijing Automobile Museum has five floors, each with a different color. The first floor of the museum is the visitor service center and the press conference hall (the other side is shared with the Fengtai Planning Exhibition Hall). The second to fifth floors are more interesting. The second floor is a car exhibition of classic collections of the Chinese automobile industry, a theme restaurant and a specialty store. What attracts the most attention on this floor is the classic car collection under the red glowing lights. There are not only the first generation of Chinese Hongqi 🚩 sedans, but also many prototypes of Soviet Jim, Volga sedans and other cars. The third floor is a display of automobile life, resources and environment. Many concept cars and models of future car predictions are displayed. This floor is more suitable for children. It is recommended that children watch car movies and simulate driving. To watch car movies (3D), you need to scan the code at the machine at the door of the projection room to exchange tickets for free, one every ten minutes. The fourth floor is more professional, mainly about engineering technology, showing the internal structure and production line of the car. There is also a display of F1 racing. The fifth floor shows the history of automobiles and Chinese power. The exhibits range from the earliest horse-drawn carriages and wheelbarrows, the famous Chinese compass-carriages and mileage-recording drum-carriages, to today's cars (such as the Beijing No. 103 bus model and RVs). There are also early steam cars from abroad, as well as prototypes of old cars such as the Beetle, Ferrari, and Ford...



It took nearly two hours to visit and experience it. I feel that the exhibition hall design, exhibit display and venue environment are suitable for both adults and children. It is a good place to fully understand the history of automobile development!

By Captain Sanmao |

There are many antique cars, a good place for children and adults

By With you |

I have been there twice. There are discounts when buying tickets on Meituan. It is convenient to exchange tickets. It is suitable for bringing children. You can learn some vehicle knowledge. There is a restaurant inside, and souvenirs are sold.

By Egg Yolk Su |

Tickets are 25 yuan, and two tickets are 40 yuan for Meituan group purchase. Parking fee is 5 yuan per hour. There is nothing to see on the first floor, from the second floor to the fifth floor. The second floor exhibits some classic old cars and motorcycles. There is a children's driving experience area on the third floor. You have to wait in line for a long time. It is actually similar to the driving games in the playground. There is also a convertible experience, and the ticket price is 20 yuan. It is different from what I imagined. But it is still good to take the children to see it.

By Tiger Kitten |

There were quite a lot of people at the car museum, and the parking lot was full. Fortunately, there was roadside parking nearby, so I just found a place to park.

If you come here, there is really no need to buy the group-buy e-ticket. The regular price is 30 yuan, and the group-buy price is 20 yuan. However, you have to queue up for half a day to exchange the group-buy ticket. You can enter when you buy the ticket on site. It is really not worth saving that 10 yuan.

It is really suitable to bring children here, as they can have an intuitive understanding of cars from beginning to end. However, the lighting in the museum is not very good, so if you bring children, you must keep an eye on them, otherwise it will be troublesome if they get lost.

The Automobile Museum has a total of five floors. It is actually very suitable to take the elevator directly to the fifth floor. It is a more reasonable and energy-saving way to visit from top to bottom.



The second floor is mainly restaurants and car model stores. Needless to say, the store has a pricing system that makes whoever buys it an idiot.

The restaurant is said to be a car-themed restaurant, but I really didn't see that. Eating there is not cheap, so if you have enough time, you can have lunch at a convenience store or food court in a nearby building.

There are occasional activities outside the car museum, so check it out anytime for surprises. Last time I came here, I saw some car stunts, but I only saw the tail end.

By I'm busy, I don't have time |

It is very big and spectacular. One of the stops on this trip is the Military Museum. However, when we arrived in the afternoon, the staff told us that it was closed today and we should come back tomorrow! What a pity! However, in order to fulfill the children's wish, we arrived early the next day. However, we found out that we had to wait until September 23 to open to the public. What a pity! We traveled for two consecutive days, but why did the staff say "Come back tomorrow!" Just for this sentence, oh!

The classic car history section on the top floor is pretty good, with a nice environment and nice cars, but it's a little lacking. The knowledge areas on the lower floors are not worth seeing, but good for learning. The ticket office is quite distinctive, it's a train, but why is it placed in a car museum? Wouldn't it be better to put it in a railway museum?

Every man likes cars. The cars running on the streets are becoming more and more fashionable and beautiful. However, as time goes by, the cars from ten, twenty, thirty or even earlier years ago may remain in photos forever and become history. Don't worry, do you want to see it? Then you can go to the Beijing Automobile Museum opposite the Huaxiang Old Motor Vehicle Market on the South Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, and you will definitely be feasting your eyes. The ticket to the Automobile Museum is 25 yuan, and there are plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot outside the museum. The first floor of the museum introduces the development history of the automobile industry, various classic cars and ancient carriages and chariots, which are dazzling and shining. The second and third floors exhibit cars produced in various periods in China and foreign countries, including those from Europe, the United States, Japan, and my country, such as Rolls, Caddy, Citroen, and the old Hongqi. However, what impressed us most were the old 581 tricycles, Shanghai and Beijing 212, the yellow-faced Daihatsu that ran all over the streets of Beijing in the 1990s, and the Peugeot 505 that was very powerful in the 1980s and early 1990s. When you get on the old No. 13 bus, the character models inside the car are very interesting. The conductor seems to shout loudly: "We have arrived at Beixinqiao. If you want to change to No. 116, please get off." Some people on the bus are looking at the shopping mall across the street through the glass, while others are talking in low voices. The bald people and those with children are all lifelike. There are also test drives on the third floor. You can test drive them yourself and simulate what the car will be like in a traffic accident. The Red Flag car that the national leaders rode in those days is a must-see. Don't forget to bring your camera and take a photo next to the car, so that your trip will not be in vain!

The Beijing Automobile Museum is the first automobile museum in China. It is innovatively designed with an emphasis on knowledge, participation and entertainment. Through a variety of forms such as static and dynamic, flat and solid, three-dimensional and multi-dimensional, audio and video, it uses visual, auditory, tactile and other participation methods to achieve educational enlightenment, allowing the audience to understand the history and changes of modern automobiles, and then appreciate the characteristics and connotations of automobile technology and automobile culture.

It's very good and worth seeing, especially the antique car exhibition area on the fifth floor. You can get close to those classic cars in your memory, which are really exquisite.

By Flying Beasts🦄️ |

It is very close to the Southwest Fourth Ring Road. Take Subway Line 9 from Fengtai Science and Technology Park Station and head east. Go about 100 meters towards the South Fourth Ring Road and you will see it on the right. There are also plenty of parking spaces.

Tickets are 30 yuan per person, we are from Nuomituan, 45 yuan for a couple, saving 15 yuan. In addition, mothers and children can visit for free on March 8.

There are 5 floors in total, and floors 2-5 are open for visitors. There are many exhibited cars on each floor, all of which are famous cars with great historical significance. It also introduces a lot of development history and many parts structures, from the earliest suggested guide cars to modern cars, which is very educational. In addition, there are many areas for children to experience, which cost 10-30 yuan. There are collision experiments, passionate driving experiences, etc., and children will have a lot of fun.

It's OK. I found that there are charging piles for electric cars in the parking lot of the Automobile Museum. Friends who drive electric cars can park and charge at the same time. I don't know if it costs money? The group purchase ticket is about 20. The second floor and above are exhibition areas. The first floor office area has strict security checks. Smokers should put your lighter in the car as soon as possible to avoid trouble. It is best to visit from the top floor to watch down, so that you can understand the development history of automobiles and related models along the way. If you are tired and hungry, you can go to the second floor dining area to rest or have a meal. There is also a car theme restaurant.

The Automobile Museum is located on the South Fourth Ring Road, opposite the Yihai Garden Community. We arrived here around 10:30. The gray buildings and gray sky, only the large screen outside the museum is colorful. I like the slogan: Beijing Automobile Museum, not just a museum for viewing cars. The ticket office is in the northeast corner outside the museum. Two small trains are parked there. If you don’t know, you might think it is a cultural landscape. Only when you get closer do you realize that it is the ticket office. The entire museum is divided into five floors. The first floor is an office area, and the second floor is under construction. Only the classic car collection exhibition area and two specialty stores and restaurants are left. The third floor is the Future Hall, the fourth floor is the Progress Hall, and the fifth floor is the Creation Hall.



Tips:

1. There is a parking lot at the south gate of the museum, which costs 5 yuan per hour. There are no parking spaces around 10 o'clock every weekend. You can park on both sides of the road outside the south gate, and it is said that you will not be ticketed.

2. The museum ticket is 30 yuan, and family tickets are available online, 60 yuan for three people.

3. There are more children on weekends, so it is recommended to start the tour from the fifth floor

4. It is winter now. The temperature on the first floor of the museum is basically normal, but it is a bit hot on the second floor and above. You can add or remove clothes appropriately when visiting.

5. Friends who like photography should bring an external flash.

Tickets are 30 yuan per adult. Parking was free before, but now the parking lot has started to charge, 5 yuan per hour. I often take my children there. There are five floors in total, and the second to fifth floors are exhibition halls. There are restaurants and souvenir shops on the second floor, and games for children on the third floor, which are a bit like driving game consoles. There are usually more people queuing. There are also interactive movies. The cars in the movie are a few edited shots in the movie. You can watch them sitting in a place where the seat can move. There are 9 people in a show, about 6 minutes. Because I went there in winter, the first and second floors of the building were colder, and the third to fifth floors were very hot, and the heating was turned on very well.

It is located next to the South Fourth Ring Road, with convenient transportation. The exterior architectural design is a big eye, which is very distinctive. There are various vehicles suitable for boys. The area is large and you can have lunch on the second floor at noon.

The Automobile Museum is located in Huaxiang, Fengtai District. It is included in the museum pass. The entrance is divided into groups and individual visitors. Those with electronic coupons or museum passes must first go to the ticket office (outside the building in the shape of a locomotive) to exchange tickets, and then go through security checks to scan tickets before entering. In addition to car enthusiasts, there are also many parents who bring their children to the exhibition, most of whom are boys. I thought there wouldn't be many people, but it was really beyond my expectation that there were quite a lot of people. The museum has a total of five floors, and the main exhibition area is on the 3rd to 5th floors, so it is best to visit from top to bottom. I think the most exciting part of the exhibition is the introduction to the development history of automobiles in various countries and the introduction to automobile structure. It also exhibits some early cars, engines and simulated car models of world-famous brands. In addition to visiting, there are also some experience areas and toy sales areas. If you are tired, you can go to the 2nd floor for dinner, which is quite convenient.

This place is worth a visit for car lovers, as it contains information on the development of automobiles at home and abroad, as well as some domestic transportation, car disassembly, old parts art, and so on.

By I am the gills |

It shows the development history of the world's automobiles and the development of China's automobile industry, as well as the development of diversified automobile types, and introduces the internal structure, engineering technology, safety performance, and design and production of automobiles.

By Xiaoli |

There weren't too many people, and there was plenty of free parking. It was an eye-opening three hours and a very informative tour.

I didn’t expect that there is such a good place in the corner of the city. Not only can I see the development of automobiles, but it also brings back many beautiful childhood memories.

By Charlene |

I found this place online, but I had never heard of it, so I didn't have high expectations for it. But things are often like this, the unexpected can always give you a surprise. The Automobile Museum has four floors of exhibition halls, including the development, future, and design of automobiles... In short, this is the happiest place for my son to play. He played there from 10 am to 3 pm and didn't want to leave.

There were many NB and shiny cars on display. I liked the Rolls-Royce with a rocket tail the most. It gave me a lot of insights.

By Pisces |

Because there are relatively few visitors, the environment is very comfortable and the experience area is also good. It can be used as a place for children to learn about automobile knowledge and transportation.
