We were pleasantly surprised at this museum, there was an eclectic range of interests from very old cars and motorcycles to some more recent exhibits all of which evoked memories and in particular those from the fifties and sixties. Several interesting video 'shorts' and an interesting account of the 130mph lap\of the TT. In the Donald Campbell hall a moving... More

We had free tickets so possibly wouldn't have chosen to visit but we would have missed out on a memorable experience. The staff were really helpful, and took time to explain lots of the exhibits. If you are in the Lakes you should go and see this museum, even kids will enjoy the wonderfully restored old cars and exhibits including... More

Visited with my 40yr old son & my husband. I was not expecting to particularly enjoy the visit but went for their benefit. How wrong I was! Fascinating, so much more than motors. We particularly enjoyed the Manx TT room with video. My husband is temporarily using wheelchair, I found the access everywhere faultless & I'm only a learner at... More

We visited here on our honeymoon as it was raining! Hubby loves cars but I wasn't that bothered, however we both really enjoyed it. So interesting and brought back so many memories!

It was not too big but offered lots of talking points with immaculate cars and other vehicles from numerous generations. Afterwards we had refreshments in the cafe which overlooks the river and offered nice views on the sunny... More

Can you imagine moving house with more than 30,000 exhibits and artifacts, well that is what they did starting in October 2008. Having been well established at Holker Hall, a world famous country house for many years. The Lakeland Motor Museum took the... More

Loads to see & talk about for all the family & all ages.making it suitable for all the family from little ones to Grand parents. The adjacent restaurant serves freshly made food from the kitchen to a high standard at very reasonable prices( best coffee had in ages)....so good we went back again a few days later!

Being honest I was only visiting because my husband wanted to but I was very pleasantly surprised because I really enjoyed it! Parking is free. The cafe has a lovely riverside view and tasty food. The staff are friendly. There's a shop for those with a need to buy when they're out and about. More importantly though the museum is... More
