The NCM and the Motorsports Park Draw Large Numbers

The National Corvette Museum is celebrating another record attendance year, making 2017 the third year in a row that the NCM saw an increase in visitors to the popular Bowling Green landmark.

In the past year, the museum opened a number of new exhibits, offered visitors vintage Corvette rides, hosted a number of go-kart events at the NCM Motorsports park, and even held driving events that put spectators behind the wheel of the latest-generation C7 Corvette.  The new attractions, combined with an on-going curiosity about the sinkhole, attracted 228,744 visitors to the museum.
