The Ultimate Mercedes Lover Experience: Mercedes-Benz World
Corporate tours and museums have come a long way since the early days. No longer just a passive experience of walking or riding past production equipment and mysterious warehouses, today’s corporate experiences are showpieces that combine original artifacts, replicas, film, simulator attractions and other multi-media experiences designed to engage all the senses. Examples include the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, GA, Hershey’s Chocolate World in Hershey, PA and Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands, UK.
The Exhibits
Mercedes-Benz World’s display galleries are packed to the rafters with historic exhibits. Rare examples of early vehicles can be found here along with the latest vehicles of today and a look ahead at the technology of the future. Every car and every color ever used in the Mercedes line is represented in the Showcase area, while a separate museum section details the long partnership between Mercedes-Benz and the town of Brooklands.
The Film
What trip to a corporate headquarters would be complete without a film overview? The film at Mercedes-Benz World does a remarkable job of compressing 120 years of history into a short, easy to digest format.
The Simulators
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a Mercedes car during the production process? This fascinating simulator experience will give you the chance to find out. Another simulator allows you to investigate the feeling of being oil as it travels through the car’s engine.
The Driving Experience
The ultimate dream come true for Mercedes aficionados, the driving experiences give you the chance to get behind the wheel on your choice of high-tech closed courses. Licensed adult drivers can choose from Performance, Handling and Off-Road experiences.
Worried that the kids will be bored? Keep them occupied by signing them up for their very own Mercedes-Benz driving experiences. If they are old enough to reach the pedals, then they are old enough to drive an authentic Mercedes A Class. A professional driver accompanies the child at all times, first through some simple training exercises, and then onto the circuit for advanced handling maneuvers. Very exciting for kids of all ages!
Mercedes-Benz World is a great place to go behind the scenes of your favorite luxury cars. In the meantime, why not stop by our friendly local dealership, where we will be happy to show you our fleet of exciting Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
