We were very pleased with the museum, even though we don't have a big interest in transport. It was fun to have a tram ride. The location is very good, with nice countryside views. The standard of paintwork of these old vehicles looked immaculate; the staff appear to do an excellent job in restoration. The museum is well done, clean... More

This museum is amazing and the trams are beautifully kept. It is definitely a labour of love, the people who work there are volunteers to keep the museum (a registered charity) in fantastic working order. Well worth going, you will NOT be disappointed.

We live locally and I find the £12 annual ticket great value. If we're ever stuck for something to do, it's a good place to take my 2 year old for a ride on the trams, a walk around the sculpture trail or a play in the soft play area. Yes the catering is a bit expensive but you can... More

A great place to visit, lots to see and do. But the catering is expensive and there is a limited choice. My advice is to take your own food and drink - a lot of people were doing just that.

£12 to get in seemed a bit steep! However you can go back as many times as you like and you wont have to pay anymore for 12 months, lovely views around the area, a step back in time, and lovely pubs and tearooms

We went to the Tram museum specifically for the 1940's event over Easter. The weather wasn't very kind especially on the Monday but that did nothing to spoil our enjoyment of the event. We do a lot of 1940's re-enactment events in the UK and this location is one of the best. Amazing collection of trams with unlimited rides on... More
