November 2024Fabulous!! This is a free museum. So many cars and transportation to view over the last 100 years. Family friendly with a cafe and toilets. The sight seeing bus stop is just outside and runs every 30 minutes. Worth a visit!

October 2024Incredible museum to check out! Essentially it's a transport museum which houses an amazing amount of cars, bikes, prams, carriages, trams and even a few trains! Plus a Victorian street with shop displays, a subway area, some quirky vehicles (the Jurassic park ones were my favourite) and of course the tall ship. The area can get pretty crowded, especially if there's a school group so wheelchair users may have to take it slow, is accessible including lifts, just some narrow areas if there's a large number of people. You can pay to board the ship, plus there's a cafe, shop and toilets. Great place to check out

December 2024Worth the time and visit especially if you area transport buff. Free entry and lots to do for the kids too. Highly recommended.

December 2024Beautiful place. You get to see the entire history of commute used in UK, bicycle, motor bikes, trains, bus, carts, cars, ships. It has detailed audio description as well which is very insightful. Must visit place for tourists, entry is free. You have option to drop of your bags and coats (chargeable at £2 person). Great place to bring kids.

November 2024Went here on a Sunday afternoon. An interesting place to spend time with a lot of details about the exhibits. They've recreated an area to resemble Glasgow from earlier years and it's worth a visit. The only thing I felt could be improved is a lot of cars and motorcycles are stacked at height which avoids close access and attention to detail.
