Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday-Thursday) for smaller tour groups and a more personalized experience. During Speedweeks in February or Bike Week in March, the atmosphere is electric but tours may be more crowded or limited, so plan accordingly.

Tours are affordably priced with discounts for children. Parking is plentiful and free. The facility has restrooms and a gift shop, but limited food options on-site, so plan to eat before or after your visit at nearby Daytona Beach restaurants.

Open year-round daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. The Daytona 500 in February and other major race weekends create extra excitement but may limit tour access on event days. Summer visits can be very hot, so morning tours are recommended during June-August.
