The DFW Car & Toy Museum has been named the Gold winner in the 2026 DFW Favorites for Best Event Venue, a recognition that underscores its growing reputation as a distinctive destination for gatherings in North Texas. The award, announced June 8, 2026, reflects the museum's ability to transform events with its expansive collection of over 200 classic and exotic cars and 3,000 rare toys spread across 150,000 square feet of display space.
Located at 2550 McMillan Parkway in Fort Worth, the museum offers versatile spaces including a VIP lounge, conference room, and interactive exhibits that provide an immersive backdrop for corporate functions, weddings, private parties, and other special occasions. Owner Ron Sturgeon expressed gratitude for the community recognition, stating that the award is a testament to the team's dedication to creating memorable, high-quality experiences for every guest. He emphasized that the venue offers unmatched charm, history, and excitement, whether for a corporate function or a private celebration.
The museum's team works closely with clients to tailor each event to their vision, offering innovative layouts and exclusive access to museum features. This personalized approach has helped the venue stand out among competitors. The DFW Car & Toy Museum, originally founded by Sturgeon in the 1980s as the DFW Elite Toy Museum, recently relocated from Haltom City to its current North Fort Worth location. The new facility features free parking and admission, climate-controlled car storage, and is dog-friendly, encouraging visitors to take pictures. Operating hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This award positions the museum as a top choice for event planners seeking a venue that combines entertainment, history, and uniqueness. The recognition from the DFW Favorites program, which highlights local businesses favored by the community, could attract more corporate clients and private event bookings, boosting the local tourism and events industry.
