What a fantastic little museum! I took two reception classes for an educational visit for our topic on journeys and transport. So much to see and do including a ride on an old bus and a miniature train. The volunteers that led the sessions were amazing, really knowledgable and engaging for young children. Huge thank you to Dennis, Alan, Ken and Dave who were our guides for the day, you were so patient and lovely with all the children. They even made all the teachers a cup of tea! Lots of outdoor space for a picnic and a little play area too. Highly recommend for a school trip!

What a great day celebrating the outer circle bus route it was great value and well worth a trip, great to see the old buses that I grew up with and a great free bus ride on them inc in entry price. And not forgetting the model train you can ride to for a small extra fee, it was great felt like a kid again

One the countries gems. A huge collection of vehicles. Milk Floats. Midland Red, the West Midlands and thankfully one Crosville vehicle. A miniature railway. Down to earth, laid back friendly staff/volunteers who make the time to make you feel very welcome. Prices are very very reasonable.
