On a cool, sunny Saturday morning, two of my boys eagerly climbed into the car to go see their first car show. They were excited to spend some time with Mommy. But, they also thought it sounded fun to see cool cars. I was concerned. What if every car owner went on red alert the moment they saw my 4 and 6-year-olds? What if my boys were bored after the first car? My fears were allayed as soon as we began walking around. Cars & Coffee is definitely something you need to plan to do!
Watch! A Trip to Cars and Coffee
What is Cars & Coffee?
We arrived with about 45 minutes left to the event. When we walked to the first car, I showed my boys under the hood. I know it may sound crazy, but they had never really looked under the hood of a car. They were amazed. From that point forward, they scanned for the next car that had its hood up. As they stood admiring a sports car, the owner offered to let them get in. They took turns sitting in the driver’s seat and pretending to drive. As they enjoyed their “ride,” I got to talk to the owner about his car. Perfect.
From VW buses to race cars and classics to specialty cars, there was so much to see. The car owners were eager to talk about what they had done to their cars and what races they were in. Folks walked around with their dogs, and it was a fun, relaxing way to spend a Saturday morning.

To see the most cars, aim to get there within the first 2 hours. There are a lot of great dining options at Bridgeway Station, plus the cool venue itself is sure to make it a special occasion.
Pro-tip: Be patient with parking. The event gets a lot of traffic of both people bringing in their cars to show, and people coming to spectate. Sometimes you have to drive around a bit, or park in a nearby lot and walk.
