Nice place with lots to do and see with trains cafe model trains and community events

We had a lovely visit to Crewe Heritage Centre. The children really enjoyed the train driver’s cabin, the miniature train ride, and the arts and crafts activities. The staff and coordinators were very kind and friendly. Thank you for a great experience!

Visited crewe heritage on good Friday 2026. Wasn't 100% sure what to expect as never been there before. I was expecting to see more exhibits on show but they must of loaned them out. Took my 3 young children them enjoyed the mini train and viewing platform. It is a shame there wasn't a lift to get up to the viewing platform to make it easier for disabled people,(like my daughter who was in a wheelchair) I had to take her out and carry her up the stairs just so she could see. But overall we stayed for a good 2 to 3 hours and it was good.

Spent a couple of hours here on a Sunday afternoon with a young train mad kid who has ADHD and he loved it. He really enjoyed the interactive aspect and liked getting on the trains and into the signal boxes (as did I.)The staff were very patient and friendly. You can ride the little train around the site. You can also get a hot drink. Concessions for carers and children. It’s seasonal and closed for the darker months. Will return in the spring.

An excellent museum of more recent railway trains. Go back to the 1970s and go in the APT (Advanced Passenger Train). This was the prototype of other fast modern trains (the Pendolino for example). You can sit in the driving seat of a number of fairly recent diesel and electric locomotives. Signaling is the core of railway travel and there are signal boxes of various generations to watch operate (or operate yourself). Some fine model railways compete the experience. It suits young and not so young railway enthusiasts.
