THE FERRARI MUSEUM MARANELLO

The Ferrari Museum Maranello, Italy – Where Horses Roar!

Roar. That familiar roar. The exact same one which I had heard in movies and had seen on the television. The very sound of it gave me goosebumps as a Red hot Ferrari rustled across when we steered towards Maranello – The land of Ferrari! This is a place we yearned to witness from the time Italy appeared in our itineraryThe Ferrari Museum Maranello in Italy.

Ferraris ruling the streets of Maranello

The goose bumps were not even soothed and more Ferraris pass by. I couldn’t help but watch them all thunder across; Gaping at them like a small kid wondering which way to see if she was put in a room full of her favorite toys! Just when I thought there is nothing like a Red Ferrari roaring on the road, there goes a Black one screaming that ‘ I may not be Red Hot, but I’m definitely sexy looking!!’ . And before I nodded my head, a Yellow Ferrari rides away in glory confusing me as hell !!

While I was still gawking at these prancing horses, Neetan stopped the car in front of The Ferrari Museum Maranello. My head was still reeling with the sight so many Ferraris at a time – it had no idea that what was coming up next would bowl me a thousand times over!

There is a cute little Ferrari Café inside the Ferrari Museum Maranello. The café is tastefully designed and echoes the swag of the Ferraris inside the Museum. Surprisingly, we found a lot of healthier options like sprouts and salads apart from the usual Pizza and Pasta.

Simulator:

The Ferrari Museum Maranello hosts unique semi-professional simulators where you can experience a feeling of driving a Ferrari single-seater on the Monza track. This experience offers a true feeling the drivers have at Formula 1 cars while on the go in the tracks. The car lets you feel the acceleration, the surface of the tracks and reacts realistically to every action you take as if you were really driving the Formula 1 car on a real racing track! As the proof of which our boys who went out to try the simulator came back excited and exhausted! The machine is a mean one, you drive on the track, it drives with you; you drive on the grass, you feel that throb; you hit it to the side walls, it hits you back! Check out this video where our little boys are messing around with the Simulator!

It costs 25€ for a 7-minute race.

Our little monster was very excited to all his toys come alive and he desperately wanted to sit in one! We had to peel him away from every car he saw. Had a tough time clicking these pics by keeping an eye on him! The poor fellow wanted to go in the simulator too, but he was advised against it, as it was not safe for children. It was really difficult to convince that in future he can as well buy a Ferrari, if he can earn it; But, he has a riders’ blood running through his veins – he is a tough nut to crack! But hey, mothers won’t give up, will they?? Had to coax him to settle down for Audi instead!! (It was one of the rental cars we drove around in Italy)
