Dandy DanIncredible collection across the whole spectrum of eras and brands.The displays let you get close to examine every nut and bolt if you're a gearhead like me. I'm stealing a bracket design I saw on a Flying Merkel to put on my own bike. Friendly staff. Very easy to spend a whole day there. Great value for the $15.00 admission price.

Seana AndersonIt was amazing. The bkes, the histories, the art and custom designs. Two floors of deliciousness. Great merch and old posters. It is a self guided tour place, but volunteers will answer questions. 2nd floor avaiable by elevator. There is a kids' play area anf bikes avaiable to take pictures on. There is a whole room devited to Indians. I've only seen 2 in my life. I came away buzzing.

Bertha DuitamaWow if you are a motorcycle lover this is the place for you. My husband loves his bikes, so when we took a trip to the Hudson Valley this was a must stop. It was like bringing a kid to a toy store , they don't know which toy they like better. So you have 2 floors of bikes to admire from older models to recent ones. Staff is so friendly they will answer any questions yet they give you privacy to look around. Also has a small gift shop. Restrooms are very clean. Plenty of parking. If you go Thursday after 4 you pay half price.

Ryan MazierskiThe Motorcyclepeida Museum is an awesome museum. The museum displays a large collection of over 750 motorcycles including the world’s largest collection of Indian motorcycles. The museum traces the evolution of the motorcycle through the years. They have a spectacular gallery of motorcycles used in movies and TV. Some of these include Prince’s bike used in the Purple Rain music video, the Fonz’s bike from Happy Days, Batman’s motorcycle from the 60’s TV series, and a motorcycle from Terminator 2. They have motorcycles that belonged to celebrities including Jerry Garcia and Steve McQueen. They even have a motorcycle that was in the motorcade escort of President John F. Kennedy, on the ill-fated day that he was assassinated. They do a great job showing the history of motorcycles. The museum’s Indian motorcycle collection goes all the way back to 1901. They also have a ton of Harley-Davidson models. There is a great collection of WW2 motorcycles as well. Really great looking choppers here as well. Even if you’re not interested in motorcycles it is easy to like this place. Depending on your interest level it is easy to be here an hour or more. Definitely a great place to visit in the Hudson Valley.
