DFW Car & Toy Museum Wins Gold in 2026 DFW Favorites for Best Event Venue

The DFW Car & Toy Museum has been awarded Gold in the 2026 DFW Favorites for Best Event Venue, a recognition that underscores its evolution from a niche attraction to a premier destination for corporate events, weddings, and private parties. The award, announced June 8, 2026, reflects the museum's commitment to providing an immersive and inspiring backdrop that sets it apart from conventional venues in North Texas.

Spanning over 150,000 square feet, the museum houses more than 200 classic and exotic cars and 3,000 rare toys, offering a visually stunning environment that can be tailored to any occasion. Its versatile spaces include a VIP lounge, conference room, and interactive exhibits that transform events from ordinary to extraordinary. Owner Ron Sturgeon expressed gratitude to the DFW community, stating, 'This award is a testament to our team's dedication to creating memorable, high-quality experiences for every guest.'

The recognition carries significant implications for the local events industry, as the museum's unique combination of automotive history and toy nostalgia appeals to a broad demographic. Unlike traditional banquet halls or hotels, the museum allows guests to explore exhibits during events, providing a built-in entertainment factor. 'Whether you're planning a corporate function or a private celebration, our venue offers unmatched charm, history, and excitement,' Sturgeon added.

For those interested in booking, the museum is located at 2550 McMillan Parkway in Fort Worth, and its website dfwcarandtoymuseum.com provides details on event packages and availability. The facility also offers secure climate-controlled car storage and is dog-friendly, with free admission and parking. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The DFW Car & Toy Museum, originally founded by Ron Sturgeon in the 1980s as the DFW Elite Toy Museum, moved from Haltom City to its current North Fort Worth location. The new facility has allowed the museum to expand its offerings, making it a versatile choice for car clubs, board meetings, and other gatherings. The Gold award in the 2026 DFW Favorites is likely to boost its profile further, attracting both locals and tourists seeking a distinctive venue for their special events.
