For many Chevrolet enthusiasts, there’s nothing better than making a pilgrimage to Kentucky to witness the assembly of the iconic Corvette sports car during a Bowling Green assembly plant tour. The National Corvette Museum has now announced 2025 tour dates, giving fans a chance to see the highly anticipated 2026 models, including the new ZR1X hypercar, on the assembly line.

The new tour dates come just as Chevy opens its dealer order books for the 2026 Corvette lineup. With the start of regular production for the new model year scheduled for August 4, 2025, attendees of the first tours will be among the first members of the public to witness the new cars being built. The 2026 model year is set to introduce a redesigned interior and the stunning new ZR1X hybrid hypercar variant.

The National Corvette Museum is the exclusive provider of Bowling Green assembly plant tours, and tickets must be booked online in advance. For 2025, tours will be available during the week of August 11th, the week of August 25th, and the week of November 10th, though no tours will happen on Veterans Day, November 11th.

Visitors should be aware of a strict set of rules. All attendees must be 13 years of age or older and must wear closed-toe, closed-heel shoes. One of the most important rules is a complete ban on all electronic devices, including phones, cameras, and even smartwatches.

These items are not permitted inside the plant. The museum also notes that while the tour will proceed as scheduled, there is no guarantee that the production line will be running during any given time slot, and no refunds will be offered if the line is paused.

A Bowling Green assembly plant tour has always been a special experience for fans of America’s sports car. This year, the opportunity is even greater, offering a firsthand look at the production of a new model that will usher in the next chapter of Corvette design and performance.
