Ferrari Museum & F1 Simulator in Maranello: 2-3 Hours

The simulator sits inside a professional cockpit that moves with the car.

This combined ticket gives you entry to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello plus a session on the EVOTEK F1 simulator, a dynamic machine that replicates a real single-seater's movements on the track. You walk through the Hall of Legends and the full collection of Formula 1 cars, prototypes and racing models that built Ferrari's history, then step 100 meters across to the simulator venue to choose your circuit and race against the clock. Children must be at least 14 to drive the simulator; the museum itself welcomes younger visitors.

The Experience

The Ferrari Museum holds the full arc of the brand—from early racing cars through the single-seaters and prototypes that shaped Formula 1, all the way to the modern machines on display. The Hall of Legends walks you through the drivers and victories that made Scuderia Ferrari legendary, so you see not just the cars but the story they carry. The collection is vast enough to fill the better part of two hours if you move at a steady pace, though you can move faster if you focus on the highlights.

Once you've walked the museum, the EVOTEK F1 simulator is a short walk away at Via Terra delle Rosse 10. This is not a video game in a chair—it's a professional machine with a dynamic cockpit that tilts and shifts as you accelerate, brake and turn, so your body feels what the car does on the track. You pick the circuit, set your lap, and chase the best time you can manage while avoiding penalties. Teenagers aged 14 and up can drive; younger children and adults can watch from the venue.

The whole experience runs 2 to 3 hours depending on how long you spend in the museum and how many simulator runs you want to do. Both tickets are included, so there's no separate entry fee at either stop. The museum operates 09:30 to 18:30 from late March through late October, and 09:30 to 17:30 the rest of the year. Public transport is available nearby if you're not driving yourself.

Is this one for you?The 2- to 3-hour window means you can fit this into a morning or afternoon without losing the rest of your day—museum first, simulator after, both done before lunch or dinner. If you want a longer deep dive into Ferrari history or multiple simulator runs, you'll need to book extra time separately.

Top questions

What cars are actually in the Ferrari Museum?

The Ferrari Museum in Maranello holds Formula 1 single-seaters, racing cars, historical models and prototypes that span the brand's evolution—the Hall of Legends specifically celebrates the Scuderia Ferrari victories and the drivers who built them.

How does the EVOTEK F1 simulator work?

The EVOTEK F1 simulator is a professional cockpit with a dynamic seat that moves and tilts as you drive, replicating how a real single-seater responds to acceleration, braking and turning on the track—you choose the circuit, race against the clock and try to beat your own time without picking up penalties.

Can my young children do the simulator?

Children must be at least 14 years old to drive the simulator; younger kids can visit the museum and watch from the simulator venue, but cannot operate the machine themselves.

How long do I need for both the museum and the simulator?

Plan 2 to 3 hours total—the museum takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your pace, and the simulator session takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on how many runs you do.

Are the museum and simulator in the same building?

No—the Ferrari Museum and the EVOTEK F1 simulator are 100 meters apart, so you'll walk between them, but both are included in this ticket and they're close enough to visit back-to-back without travel time becoming an issue.
