We didnt buy tickets ahead of time and stopped by on a whim as we were passing by. The museum is pretty cool with lots of history and lots to learn. Staff were all very helpful and pleasant. There is a Cafe on site and you can also walk outside to see part of the track. 4 stars only because the price of admission is rather salty for the size of the museum and also because of the limited access/view of the track.
We took a family visit here in half term. I thought it might not be interesting enough for the kids, but they really enjoyed the interactive experience! I particularly enjoyed the history of the circuit, as well as seeing some pretty spectacular machinery. It was interesting to see a 1990s car right next to a modern F1 incarnation. We also ate at the cafe, which was really good food and ended up with a few souvenirs from the shop. There was a good selection and it was reasonably priced. Worth maybe paring this up with a carting package if you wanted a full day of it .
Well worth the visit throughly enjoyed the day. The museum itself has something for everyone. From its early days as a farm to a Wellington bomber base and its transition into probably the best racing circuit in the world. Allow yourself plenty of time and in our case they actually had races on the circuits. Both cars and go karts absolutely loved it. And in October they will be introducing more Barry Sheene and James Hunt exhibits. The gift shop is also worth a mention as well as the restaurant.
A very interesting place for Formula 1 fans. Be prepared that at the entrance you may be asked to show the contents of your backpack or bag for security checks. The museum also includes some fascinating RAF and World War II history, which adds another layer to the experience. Everything is very well organised and easy to navigate. One of the biggest highlights is the racing simulator. It’s great fun, and you can even watch the results and lap times on a special screen afterwards. The whole place really captures the excitement and atmosphere of motorsport and racing.
Amazing day!! I would definitely recommend. The atmosphere and all the staff in the museum are helpful and so kind. We were lucky enough to bump into a gentleman called Pete, he was absolutely incredible. Showing us around the museum, giving us loads of tips and facts about F1, truly a lovely soul that made our day that much better. The cafe staff are lovely, welcoming and the hot chocolate is made with love lol! Great day!
