Brilliant selection of cars, an enjoyable day out for anyone into cars. And got to see some cars drive around their outdoor paddock area, and have a more indepth look around them and sit inside which was a nice bonus included in the price. Would recommend!

Enormous museum housing the largest collection of cars in the country, all attractively laid out and with just the right amount of accompanying information. The collection of over 300 vehicles ranges from the dawn of motoring to the vehicles of the future, with particularly impressive displays of red sports cars, American vehicles and classic competition cars. Motorcycles are also well represented with a special exhibition on the history of motorcycling in the UK. Presentation is excellent throughout the museum, and it'd be easy enough to spend a full day exploring the different halls. Online adult tickets cost £22.45 at the time of my visit, and are valid for a year. I'd advise pre-booking to benefit from a small discount. Facilities are good, with a café (on the pricey side but with a good range of refreshments and lunch options), a large gift shop and well maintained toilets. Friendly, knowledgeable staff were a credit to the museum.

Well if your into your cars, this is one of the places to visit. Very clean and well maintained museum. All exhibits are polished to within a inch of there lives! But oddly enough, non of the tyres were cleaned (polished), strange! Nice cafe area, but not that much on the food side! Plenty of parking, but as an EV driver, the area was closed for filming - thought that could have left that small corner open, but, who am I.... Not that many motorcycles!

Incredible experience! The museum has a lovely layout, the information/facts were easy to read and understand, as well as interactive. The site was extremely clean. The staff were friendly and the cafe offers a great selection of foods throughout the day. There is ample parking and a great offer to return within the year free! As part of your ticket purchase. I would say to purchase your ticket the day before as you get an online discount. A great day out for all the family.

This museum is a remarkable legacy of the Haynes family, The building is packed with interesting and important cars that demonstrate how well cars were designed before ergonomics and efficiency became important. Some of these vehicles are works of art. The red room can be a bit overwhelming, but the American Dream is sensational sensational. The staff are welcoming, helpful and informative. There is good carparking. If you are in the area this place is worth a visit.
