went on the 1940 weekend and what a great day out for me the lady and our little bundle of fluff. Road the trams 🚉 did the woodland walk the pub and the stands . Had a great day .only down was we couldn't get a meal at the tea rooms due to lack of outside seating as they do not allow dogs inside so had to make do with 🐕 a burger 🍔. hey ho the diet

Visited Critch while on holiday with daughter and her toddler and baby. It was the only wet day of our break, we enjoyed time in the tram sheds, and the opportunity to get on a tram in there. The children were too young to enjoy the interactive boards in the tram shed, but these looked great for older children. The dressing up area was an unexpected bonus photo opportunity. It was lovely to have a tram ride, I think we all learned something . If the weather had been better we would have been able to make use of the highlights along the route. We felt it was value for money as the tickets are reusable within the 12mth period.

I wasn't expecting a lot from this experience but was pleasantly surprised. We visited on a rather wet March day so we did not utilise all of the features or walks available. The Tram rides are really good, and we recommend riding on as many as are running each day as they all have their own unique features. The Museum and sheds were very enjoyable, and we didn't realise how long we had spent watching the maintenance crews from the balcony above. We enjoyed walking round the old Trams and reading about their use and history. We stopped for a quick coffee at Ritas cafe, Theres plenty of options for everyone, but it did have one of my bug bears in so much as I hate anywhere that smells of a deep fat fryer. We encountered one member of staff who wasn't particularly helpful and bordered on the sarcastic but everyone else was really nice and couldn't be more helpful when we asked questions. The really brilliant part about the Tramway Village is that it is all disabled accessible - even the Trams! They have trams that can accommodate wheelchairs and the staff will aim to assist when you need. Diversity is key here for staff and visitors and no one is left behind.

Was a very quiet sunny day which made it all the more enjoyable. The trans were fun even though the staff on one team was very grumpy. Very dog friendly but despite this there were no bowls of water anywhere for our dog to drink despite the heat.

We had a lovely day out on the tramway. The talk was very good, the guide was very knowledgeable as to the back story and where everything came from. Everything was very reasonably priced. Good facilities and a good range of thing’s available in the cafe etc. My only bug bear was that the cafe isn’t dog friendly which was disappointing as it was a cold and rainy day. Apart from that it was a great day out.

With my husband in a wheelchair, we had to follow a specific route and they had certainly done their best to cover uneven ground and cobbles with a suitable tarmac path. The staff helping to run the tram trips couldn’t have been more helpful in getting my husband on and off safely and looking after his chair during our trip. However, the lunch experience wasn’t so enjoyable. The tea room cafe was very crowded and if it hadn’t been for another visitor helping me, I would never have been able to push my husband up the very steep ramp. The poor staff couldn’t have worked any harder to get everyone served but I think Crich need a rethink on refreshment provision, certainly with wheelchair users in mind. However, we did all enjoy our day and there was lots for my grandsons to see and do. Grandpa also enjoyed that with the aid of a lift, he could get into the exhibitions.

Making the most of the fact that once you have been, you can return free of charge for the rest of the year, we decided to have a school holiday day out. The tram rides are of course a major plus point. On this visit we also visit the soft play area which was nice but looking a bit tired. We had a wonder around the museum which houses some beautiful old trams and my daughter enjoyed dressing up in uniform. We then did the woodland walk for the first time, this is great to do with kids, we loved all the wooden carvings though some are looking worse for wear - the big Mr potato heads are a great idea. We finished up in the play area at the end of the walk which looks pretty new and is a great asset, a lovely play area. Overall, a great family day out, it is just looking tired in places and is expensive unless you use the return visit option as we did. Can't help but wonder if they would attract more visitors if they offered a slightly cheaper 1 off ticket option in addition to offering the free return/annual tickets.

There are so many things to do and see. Ride the trams as frequently as you want at no extra cost. The pub gets extremely busy but does a roaring trade. The cobs are delicious. The old fashioned sweet shop was busy, as was the gift shop. This occasion I didn't explore the discovery walk to see the constructions from railway memorabilia of the early 20th century. Having arrived at around 10.45 there was a long queue, but it was worth the wait. The ticket is signed by all members of a group,or individual and this allows you to visit again for free. 1d (old penny) is handed to each person to hand to the conductor of the tram. A ticket is received in return and this is shown to allow another ride. I saw 1 family group who had 4 different colour tickets, which indicated that they had travelled on 4 different trams

Good day out though we feel it's probably on the expensive side (has a free return but I feel you are paying for that in the ticket cost - especially if it's a 'one-off' trip). I'd also say the ticket office weren't particularly helpful - we've never been before so just handing us the leaflet and some coins without any welcome or explanation left us a little confused. That aside, the tram rides were enjoyed and we were pleasantly surprised as to how many hours we spent there!

I first visited Crich in the 1970s and again in 1989. During that period, massive progress had been made in building a.replica village street in the former quarry site, the buildings were mostly dismantled from their original locations and rebuilt at Crich. In 2023, 34 years on, I was a little disappointed to find that little had changed apart from the running line having been extended. Extra trams had been acquired, but while this would please tram enthusiasts, it was of no particular interest to the casual tourists on whom the survival of this attraction must surely depend. Access for the disabled and mobility impaired was poor to non-existent. The main access from the car park into the site was via a steeply graded ramp. There were three trams running. This was not nearly enough for the number of visitors and lengthy queues were the order of the day. As a result, we weren’t able to travel on the one tram we would have liked to have ridden on. Apart from one tram ride at the start, we walked everywhere. We were unimpressed by the shops. The cafe was unexceptional. We had a very ordinary coffee with sickly sweet cakes that were not only extremely unhealthy but practically inedible. We did not enjoy our visit and are unlikely ever to return.
