Guide to Ferrari Museum Tickets in Maranello and Modena: Online Booking, Prices, and How to Enjoy a Stress-Free Family Visit

In this guide, we’ll show you how to visit the Ferrari museums in Maranello and Modena in the simplest and most straightforward way possible.

The Two Ferrari Museums: Maranello and Modena—What Are They Really?

The great thing is that they aren’t the same thing, and it’s important to understand the difference clearly before making a decision.

Ferrari Museum in Maranello: It’s the beating heart of Ferrari. Maranello is literally where the cars are built, where the magic happens every day. The museum is just a short walk from the factory, so when you step inside, you can still feel the energy of the place. It’s not a sterile museum: it’s a living story of how a Ferrari is born, from ideas to prototypes to the legendary cars that have made history.
You can get there via the dedicated bus lines connecting Modena to Maranello; they depart from the train station and are very close to the Modena office. See the section on how to get there.

Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena: This is a museum of personal history. It’s dedicated to Enzo Ferrari, the founder—the man who turned a personal obsession into a global icon. Here you’ll discover not only the cars, but also the vision, the compromises, and the decisions that shaped an empire. It’s more intimate, in a way. It’s located just a short walk from the Modena train station, so getting there by train is very easy.

Both are open every day from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Yes, every single day—no surprises with sudden closures. A visit to each museum takes about an hour. It’s not too short, and it’s not too long—it’s just the right amount of time to take it all in without getting tired, especially if you have kids with you.

Transparent pricing, no hidden fees

This is where your perspective really changes.

When you buy tickets from us, you pay the price you see. Period. There are no sales fees—the kind that other platforms charge you a hefty surcharge for.

Admission to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello ranges from 12 to 57 euros. Admission to the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena ranges from 12 to 57 euros. A combined ticket for Maranello and Modena costs between 18 and 67 euros. The price range depends on discounted rates for children, seniors, and students, and, of course, you’ll get the best value by purchasing the combined ticket rather than two separate tickets.

The real value: when you buy here, the price you see is what you pay. No platforms with hidden fees, no “but wait, you also have to add the transaction fee.” That’s true transparency.

Withdrawing funds? It’s even easier than you think

You will not receive paper tickets, digital tickets to print, or QR codes to scan.

The purchase receipt you receive from our website is your admission ticket. Just show it at the museum entrance, they’ll check it, and you’re in. That’s it.

Do you know why this is better? Because you don’t lose anything physical. You don’t have to worry about printing anything. A simple screenshot of your order history is all you need. It’s fast: no lines to pick up tickets. It’s the kind of simplicity you only understand once you try it.

How to get there: It’s really close to Bologna

If you arrive at the Bologna airport, here’s the logistics reality that no one honestly tells you about.

It is about 46 km from the airport to Maranello. The drive takes 40–45 minutes via the A1 highway, then take the SP623 toward Maranello. The total toll cost is about 7–8 euros.

If, on the other hand, you’re leaving from downtown Bologna, it’s even closer: about 38–44 km, a 40–50-minute drive.

Between us, it’s one of those perfect distances: close enough not to be exhausting, far enough to make you feel like you’re heading somewhere special.

What about parking? Here’s another perk: free parking at our location in Maranello. Yes, free. You can park for free at our Motorsport Maranello facility. We’re just a stone’s throw from the Ferrari Museum; if you were to leave your car elsewhere—in public parking lots near the museum—you’d have to start paying. Not here.

Direct bus line SETA 800
There is a direct bus line connecting Modena to Maranello, operated by SETA (Società Emiliana Trasporti Autofiloviari). Route 800 departs from Modena Autostazione and arrives in Maranello, with a journey time of about 24 minutes. Buses depart approximately every hour and cost around €2-4. This connection is ideal if you’re arriving in Modena by train and want to reach Maranello without a car.

SETA Alternatives
There are other SETA routes that go to Maranello: Route 639 (Sassuolo – Braida – Maranello – Pozza) and Route 820 (Modena – Maranello – Serramazzoni – Pavullo).

ProntoBus
There is also an on-demand service available by phone reservation (ProntoBus), operating in the Maranello area and managed by SETA.

It’s not “just a car”—it’s an experience designed for families

This is where many people misinterpret it.

When you think of a “car museum,” you picture bored children looking at cars parked behind glass. But that’s not the case: these museums have been redesigned specifically to offer something more.

Inside the museums, you’ll find informational panels that tell stories—not just technical details. Interactive experiences—especially at the museum in Modena, where you can “experience” Enzo’s vision firsthand. Historic artifacts that are not just “a red car,” but symbols of a decision, an ambition, and a dream. Lighting and design crafted to be admired, not just observed.

For children, what captures their imagination is the story: the fact that Enzo Ferrari started with a crazy idea and built an icon. The cars become part of the story, not just objects.

The layout of the museums themselves is welcoming. It’s not a cold, confusing maze—it’s orderly, bright, and easy to navigate. You can visit with children without having to “manage” them every second. They have space to breathe, explore, and ask questions.

If you choose the MotorValley Marathon package (which we’ll discuss in a moment), lunch is included. If you’re just visiting the museums, the surrounding area is full of restaurants. You’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The Combo Bundle: Why Two Museums Are Better Than One

Many people arrive and wonder: Should I visit both, or just one?

The honest answer is: it depends.

If this is your first time in Maranello and you have plenty of time, do both. Maranello shows you “how it’s built”: the passion and the engineering. Modena shows you “why it was created”: Enzo Ferrari’s vision.

With the combo ticket, you’ll also save money: the price for both together is better than buying them separately. And logistically? Modena is on the route from Bologna to Maranello, so if you’re coming from the north, you can stop in Modena first and then continue on to Maranello—or vice versa.

If, on the other hand, you’re short on time (half a day, tired kids), choose whatever interests you the most. There’s no rush—you can always come back.

Inside Museums: Here’s What You’ll Actually See

At the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, you’ll discover the historical evolution of Ferrari cars, from the very first models to today’s vehicles. The collection of historic and legendary cars includes those that have won world championships. There are sections dedicated to how a car is created: design, engineering, and testing. These spaces tell the stories of the drivers, the races, and the iconic moments. And above all, you’ll feel the direct connection between the museum and the factory next door. You’ll be reminded that these cars are being built just a few meters from where you’re walking.

At the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, discover Enzo Ferrari’s personal story: his childhood, his passions, and his decisions. Prototypes and cars represent key milestones in his vision. Letters, documents, and personal memorabilia bring the legend to life. It’s the story of how a personal obsession became a global phenomenon. The exhibits are designed to help you understand the “why,” not just the “what.”

In either case, it’s not a passive experience. As you walk, you read the stories. As you read, the cars around you take on new meaning. For children, this means they aren’t forced to stay there—curiosity naturally drives them. “Mom, why is this car shaped like that?” There you go—now they have a real question, and the answer is right there.

MotorBooking: Booking Made Easy

Instead of navigating a complex website, filling out endless forms, and hoping you didn’t make any mistakes, the MotorBooking app lets you choose a package, view available dates, and complete your reservation in just a few taps.
It’s available on iOS, Android, or directly on the web at motorbooking.it.

It’s not just an online store. It was designed by people who understand the problem—namely, us. The app shows you available tickets for the date you want, customization options (number of tickets, fare types), the final price with no surprises, and immediate confirmation.

Download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store, or access it directly via the web at motorbooking.it. What really changes? Simplicity. Speed. You don’t feel like you’re being sold to—you feel like you’re being helped.

When to Choose Just Museums vs. the MotorValley Marathon

I have to be honest with you here.

Choose only museum tickets if you want a relaxed, unhurried visit. If your children would rather admire the cars than get behind the wheel. If you’re on a short visit and don’t have time for a full day. If you want to focus on history and design, without the adrenaline rush of a test drive.

Choose the MotorValley Marathon if you want a complete experience in a single day: four museums, lunch included, a Ferrari test drive, and an F1 simulator. If you’re a family looking to combine the contemplative side of museums with the adrenaline rush of driving. If you’re coming from far away and want to make the most of your day. If your kids are curious and want to live the experience, not just watch it.

The Marathon doesn’t replace museums—it complements them. But if museums are your first love, that’s all you need.

Useful questions and answers

Exact opening hours? 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., every day. Be sure to check motorbooking.it before coming, just in case of any unscheduled closures.

Are young children allowed in? Yes. There are no age restrictions. Of course, very young children, ages 2–3, might get tired or bored. It depends on them. Consider whether an hour at the museum is the right pace for them.

Can I take pictures? Yes, personal photos are allowed. Please do not use a flash or professional tripods—it’s just common sense.

How long is the visit, really? The time is approximate. You can go faster—in 45 minutes—or take longer—an hour and a half. The ticket has no time limit: you enter, explore at your own pace, and leave when you’re ready.

Is there a guide available? The information panels are very comprehensive. If you’d like a real tour guide, please contact Motorsport Maranello directly: we are IAT (Tourist Information and Welcome) certified, so we know how to organize guided tours.

What if it rains? The museum is indoors. That’s not a problem.

Can I bring food from outside? It depends on the museum’s policy. As for the surrounding area, there are restaurants nearby—you’re not isolated.

The Hidden Value: You’re Experiencing Motor Valley

Do you know what Motor Valley is? It’s not just some made-up slogan. It’s the actual name given to this area of Emilia-Romagna because it’s literally the heart of Italian motorsport. Within just a few kilometers, you’ll find Maranello with Ferrari, Modena with Lamborghini, Ducati, and Pagani, Reggio Emilia with classic cars and private collections, and Bologna for its logistics hub.

When you visit the Ferrari museums, you’re not just visiting a tourist attraction—you’re walking through the history of Italian engineering. And if you bring your children? You’re quietly teaching them that great things come from people who dare to dream.

Conclusion: Is it really that simple?

If your question is, “How can I choose which Ferrari museum to visit when I’m in the area with my family, without any stress or surprises?” there’s only one answer: do it this way.

Download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store, or access it directly from the web at motorbooking.it.
Choose a date and view your tickets. When you arrive at the museum, simply show your receipt. No tickets to print, no hidden fees, no hassle.

The price? Fair. The experience? Tailored to you and your family. The logistics? Transparent.

If you’d like to add a Ferrari test drive or the F1 simulator in the future, everything is coordinated within the same app. But for now, start with the museums. Discover the history. Let the kids ask questions. Enjoy the moment without worrying about anything else.
