Sadly we came away let down, staff and facilities fantastic but the museum content was poor. Interactive museums are all well and good but they also need to supply more original items on display. Where are all the old F1 cars for example. What happened to all the old cars from Donninton Park Museum? Also, fantastic cinema facilitity but, why show an animated lap of the circuit when technology now provides excellent 4k onboard footage. This is what F1 fans want to see. The owners of the Silversone museum should visit the Bovington Tank museum to understand how to display your items of interest to the public. Silverstone Museum could, and should, be so much better...........

Dissapointing! Staff were good but they had a difficult time trying to drum up much enthusiasm for a museum that is pretty low in content. There are some cars and bikes - not may though. And it is expensive - Im glad I went with just my son and not the whole family. The interactive elements are weak and certainly dont make up for what is really bereley a museum at all. The National Motor Museum up the road and the one at Beaulieu are both so much bigger and better and cheaper. Silverstone should be embarrased by this poor effort. Dont go!

Visited the Museum for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with all the hands things you could do. I paid an extra charge to go on the simulator which was hard but fun. Although not a F1 fan, I still found it interesting and ideal for a rainy day to visit 👍

Grossly overpriced and overrated, lots of boards to read but short on cars (there are a few) and other exhibits…was expecting better along the lines of the Nürburgring museum. Frankly the now closed racing car museum at Donington Park circuit would have put this to shame - should be so much more given the history and significance of Silverstone circuit. Save your money!

It was average experience and much smaller than expected. Plenty of parking. Plenty of history about the track and location. They say allow three hours for your visit. Only took us an hour and half and that was going round one bit twice. Glad we went but there is not enough to do for a full day of that is what you are looking for. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. If you’re that way pop in but don’t make a special trip half way across the country.

Very disappointing and very expensive! There really wasn’t an awful lot to see and of course you get the add on expenses for the simulator etc - £15 totalling just over £37 per adult. Clothing prices in the shop extortionate - £80 for a polo shirt . The first room was very loud and had flashing lights, if you have tinnitus or epilepsy avoid at all costs! An hour was more than sufficient time here!

This museum is not a patch on the old Donington Grand Prix collection. Anyone with more than passing interest in motor racing will find it hard to learn anything new - the museum seems to be aimed at children or those who’ve never been to a motor race. Very few cars to see and expensive for what’s on offer.

It's a good job I found some discount tickets, of this would be a 1 star review. It's a history of silverstone, but not many people want to see almost half the museum dedicated to the war years and farming! Add to this the heritage trail which was not open, despite me checking on their website and delaying the visit a week until it would be open again after the Grand Prix. Checked the website on my return and it still says it was open today. Nothing worse than incorrect information. And then there's the cafe - sounds good, but by 1:30 they had run out of sandwiches, sausage rolls etc and even baked potatoes. If they can't get the demand right on a weekday then heaven help anyone who doesn't want to eat a large cooked meal during a weekend visit. Their response was poor too - with a chef in the kitchen that was too afraid to come out and see me, and not good enough to make a sandwich or put a potato in the oven to bake! If you love motorsport then try another museum where it's dedicated to cars!

Visited here week with my partner and 2 sons. Not a great deal to see if you don’t want to read all the signs. Some of the interactive exhibits weren't working which was disappointing as the kids wanted to try these out. A few cars to see, but given this was Silverstone we were expecting much more. Some parts of the museum were tired and need updating. The graphics on the “Final Lap” exhibit looked like they were from PlayStation 1. Not great given the price paid to enter. Track walk was also shut so couldn’t even do that to make visit more worthwhile. All in all only took around 1.5 hours and that was including sitting to eat our lunch. Gift shop massively overpriced, as was the simulator experience which was £25 for 30 mins. Wouldn’t recommend unless you can find heavily discounted tickets and definitely not enough to do for more than a couple of hours.

The price of tickets was a bit steep for what was there. Upstairs was history about Silverstone, Scalectrix which they ask for donation again 4 laps round the track, not a lot for younger ones as so much reading, interactive bits were not that great. Downstairs had different sport vehicles but again if you are an F1 fan could of been so much better, Ive seen more in other car museums. Simulator again pricey and an addition so expensive for families. The last lap simulator was poor, considering today's technology look like it was from an old computer game. The shop was over priced and I could buy cheaper at the F1 store at Bluewater. The cafe was ok over priced for sandwiches and you need to get in early as sold out just after 1. The experience took us just over 90 minutes to go round and that was reading the information. Would I go back no, Would I pay full price no expensive for families and a bit disappointing.
