August 2024If you are into cars or even have a passing interest, this far exceeds the adminastrive fee. You can easily lose 4 hours wandering around the fabulous exhibits. I drove down from Stirling for the experience. In fact, I done it twice!

August 2024What an amazing place, we visited on a day that wasn’t too great whether wise whilst we were on holiday. I will say we had been spoilt with the amazing weather and on a normal holiday this would have been a normal day! The museum is amazing and your ticket is valid for a year so you can go back. The staff were lovely and the place was immaculate. The photos do not do it justice though, the red room was nothing but incredible. Plenty for everyone to see and there was plenty to keep children entertained brass rubbings (which I actually did even though I’m a little older than their targeted audience) and Lego stations around too. If we are in the area I’m sure we will return for another visit. If you purchase your tickets in advance there is a discount but we didn’t, just paid on the door.

September 2024Really good museum well laid out with a wide selection of all types of vehicles and motorcycles with interesting information on each one. You can save money on the entry cost and the guidebook if you pay for them online in advance. Your entry tickets is valid for a year from date of visit.

September 2024Absolutely loved visiting this place, I drove 5 hrs there and back and I think it was worth it, at least for me. It's a beautifully clean, modern building. The layout is easy to navigate and has themed areas, Morris, British 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s cars, Red sports cars, racing cars, muscle cars, huge American land yachts, Ferrari, important European cars and more. And when I was there it had a small Drive Tribe area with 4 cars and some videos to watch, explaining the cars. I missed the live vehicle display, so I can't comment on that. I was pleased to find the ticket I bought is an annual pass, so I can visit as many times as I like for a year and I got a discount because I bought online beforehand. There's a big restaurant and a gift shop and there are toilets dotted around the area so you're never too dar from one. All in all I would visit again even though it's quite far away.
