Fabulous place but take your own food, and coffee! They have ordered a new coffee machine so watch this space. Food is available in the restaurant but not good! Rather overcooked.. Jacket potatoes are good! Museum itself is just fabulous. So much to see. Staff are so helpful. Children thoroughly enjoy the experience!

My children love the bus and train rides. The exhibitions with phones and electricity are excellent. From wood craft to pottery to printing there are lots of activities for the children. Plenty of history, old buses and old technology to look at. As a site over the years I have been going there it has improved tremendously and I am sure they will continue to do. It's not a theme park and there are no fair rides which I think adds to the attraction. Very accessible and a good day out.

Free parking, reasonable entry fees, loads to do and we could take our dog too! My two boys had a great time. We were there for about 3 hours but didn't see everything so we will definitely be back. The staff there were great too. Really friendly and very knowledgeable about everything. A great family day out.

Great place if you are interested of trains, buses, and that sort of things. We had a superb day out, the narrow gauge train was good. The exhibitions are excellent, many items are interactive and you can try them - those will show how that items worked in the past. Easy to find it. Its restaurant should have a better offering, I would turn it to a market style buffet instead of the cooked lunches. Very friendly staff, recommended to all.

It is a 36-acre (146,000 m2) open-air museum,[2] next to Amberley railway station, dedicated to the industrial heritage of South East England and with a special interest in aspects of the history of communications and transport.

The museum is sited in a former chalk quarry where the chalk was converted into lime for use in mortar and cement and remaining on site are several kilns, including a De Witt set, and associated buildings including offices, bagging shed and locomotive shed.

Also to be seen is the quarry tunnel (which appeared as Mainstrike Mine in the James Bond film A View to a Kill). Additional buildings have been relocated or replicated on the site and exhibition halls added. The natural history and geology of the site can be seen from a nature trail.
