Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really enjoyable afternoon looking round the exhibits, with plenty of buses, plus oither vehicles including some classic cars, fire engines, police cars (and bikes), an old Blackpool tram, old bicycles and even an old Unigate milk float. It is mainly buses, but there's plenty of other vehicles to view alongside a lot of memorabilia.
Only £6 per adult, with refreshments available and toliet facilities as well.
We also managed to get a ride on an old Warrington Corporation double decker bus on a 15 minute trip around St Helens. Very friendly staff and overall an enjoyable and interesting museum. Well worth a visit.

Took my two year old son who is a bus fanatic here and he absolutely loved it! Some great exhibits that you can actually look inside and can sit in the drivers seat and pretend to drive. For my young son this was his idea of heaven and he didn’t want to go! The real bus tour that’s included in the £6 ticket price for an adult is great too. My son also bought a replica bud too and he now takes it to bed with him! Fantastic friendly and dedicated volunteers who are really passionate about this subject too. Fantastic find, will definitely come back again and recommended to anyone in the area to visit!

We had a good afternoon at the museum. The museum was packed with interesting facts and exhibits. It was value for money and we even had a bus ride around the town. Such a bonus that it was dog friendly.

Absolutely fantastic museum, with plenty to see. This museum is also unlike most others in that you are able to walk on some though not all exhibits.
The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful willing to answer questions and explain any background of the vehicles.
I will definitely be returning to this museum again and would highly recommend it. I learned so much in my time here.
Can't wait to get back.
What a pity it is not centrally funded or advertised as a must see while visiting the area.

Brilliant place to visit could spend all day there, plenty of vehicles to see,buses,cars,motorbikes etc, there was a review left on here by some bloke and his family and all he did was moan,moan ,moan a right whinger because there was to many buses and his kids not under control got some dirt on themselves said it was boring the only thing boring is his review and his moaning at least he won’t come back which is brill.People just don’t realise how much work has gone into this museum so that we can enjoy it they work hard behind the scenes on the vehicles and the building itself and deserve praise for all their work.

Good find for my vehicle loving three year old. Adult price was £4 under three was free, he loves it sitting on the buses and seeing the old fire engines. Cafe on site, limited options but enough for what it is.
They do a ride in an old bus, no additional cost. Well done to the volunteers who run the place, well worth a visit

Friendly staff. Many exhibits. Reasonable cost. Their web site does not do this attraction justice. Took my bus mad grandchild there who enjoyed the experience greatly especially the vintage bus ride round St Helens.

My dad took my 2 boys recently and they loved it. They purchased toy buses whilst there and I wondered if there's a link to the trader who sells these as I'd like to buy some more for them.
