Your visit can consist of a ‘quick’ walk through, viewing all of the vehicles in the Hendricks Collection or you can “enjoy the ride” and spend hours reading everything, studying the storyboards, participating in the interactive displays and watching the video clips offered.
We recommend that you have at least two hours to spend with us!
* The Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum is closed on Christmas Day and may be closed on some widely observed holidays. Please call in advance if your plan is to view the Museum on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas to confirm that we will be open.
Museum Requests
We want you to thoroughly enjoy your visit and to take the opportunity to enjoy the museum as an art exhibit as well as a learning experience. We encourage you to bring friends and family to share it with and to please feel welcomed to take photographs to share with those who could not join you. Museum staff will be available to answer any questions you may have and to open vehicles upon request for a closer look.

Please:
- Do not touch the vehicles in the collection and do not step over the barriers
- Be careful as you lean close to the cars – so that your camera, keys, buttons or other dangling items do not come into contact with the vehicles
- Do not bring food or drink into the Museum. We will be glad to hold items for you at the entry desk.
- Children under 12 are allowed with an accompanying adult.
- Please, no pets allowed in the museum.

Additional Services
We want to make certain that your visit to the Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum and surrounding Resort is a wonderful experience.

Location
We are surrounded by the red rock canyons of Western Colorado in one of the most amazing and unspoiled natural locations in the country. Gateway Canyons Resort and the Gateway Colorado Auto Museum are approximately one hour southwest of Grand Junction, Colorado, along scenic byway 141, a true driver’s road with its sweeping curves, climbs and descents enhanced by the ever changing canyon settings.
