Excellent value for money and well worth spending a couple of hours or so here. An Ideal place to take young children to show them how transport used to be. So much to see and friendly helpful staff/volunteers

If you're into old buses, trucks and cars this is a nice day out for the money. Vintage bus ride to Conisbrough castle included in the entry fee, cafe is OK, food is made up for by lovely staff.

One of the best spent mornings and Winter Wonderland. For £7 you get to see the history plus you get to ride a bus around Rotherham. Inside, lovley cafe with very reasonable prices. I'll definitely return.

What an amazing place showing lots of history. All vehicles on display told a different story. Lots of memorabilia on display. Added bonus with a trip out to Conisborough Castle on a old double decker. Definitely a great afternoon out.
