ACM celebrates Father’s Day with a perfect weekend for dads

ACM will honor dads with a special Father’s Day weekend of 
deals and activities on June 15 and 16, including driving simulator rides, a drive-in movie and a special look at the engines of cars inside the museum.

  • Sons and daughters of all ages who bring their father to the museum during the weekend will receive a 2-for-1 voucher to drive racing simulators that emulate the NASCAR track experience. 
  • There’s a blast from the past on Saturday evening when the museum kicks off its Drive-In Movie Series with the showing of “Back to the Future” on a 40-foot movie screen on ACM’s spacious outdoor Haub Family Field.  Movie-goers can park and watch the film from their vehicle or spread out on the grass with blankets and chairs. Food and zip-line rides will be available for purchase and inflatable bounce houses will be free for children.  Museum hours will be extended to 9 p.m. so visitors can cruise among the cars inside ACM before the movie starts. Guests can reserve their parking spot on the field starting at 3 p.m.
  • A rare “hoods up” event will allow dads and families to catch an insider’s look at many of the engines in the cars on display throughout the museum.
  • Family memberships, which provide unlimited one-year admission for two adults and four children, will be discounted for purchase throughout the weekend.
