Car museums can be a tad boring for kids, even those who are certified junior gearheads. All these really cool cars, but you can’t actually get in them. Of course the Porsche museum has some priceless machines and ice cream hand prints just wouldn’t do. Still, it is so important that Dad and Grandpa bring the young kids out to see the cars that have generations of enthusiasts have lusted after.
The Museum Rally gets kids excited about the history of the cars as they scour the displays looking for clues to get them to the end. Lucky kids have a chance to win a monthly prize. This is pretty cool because it takes the boy behind the rope and puts him right in the action, ensuring that he’ll inherit that lust for Porsche.
