What a wonderful little Transport museum. A must see for anyone with an interest in vehicles, transport or local history. It's quite clear a huge amount of time and love had gone into repairing and restoring so many of the exhibits. You can even go on some of the vehicles likegoing back in time Amazing. Hands up to all the volunteers who are involved with the museum. Reasonably priced cafe on site too. Well worth a visit.10/10
A fabulous trip down memory lane visiting this place. Everything from the bicycle I used to ride as a boy, the police car I used to drive, the double decker bus my father drove, even the first electric car, so many transport memories here in this museum. Well worth a visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Excellent value for money. It is staffed by volunteers which means it is not open all the time, sadly. My 2yr old grandson and 5yr old granddaughter loved climbing on the old buses and pretending we were off to the seaside. We also enjoyed climbing onto an old fire engine. They have a children's area, small but it has a brio train track, colouring and a large wooden toy bus which we all enjoyed playing on. We will go again.
We were very surprised at how much was inside this building, very well laid out, clear, and interesting reading. Staff all very friendly and explained items, told stories. allowed us access to some of the buses, etc. Clean and lovely environment, food and drink really nice worth a very interesting visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
What a genuinely wonderful place. A must see for anyone with an interest in vehicles, transport or local history. It's quite clear a huge amount of time and love had gone into repairing and restoring so many of the exhibits. You can even go into some of them. Huge credit must go to the volunteers and all involved with the museum. Reasonably priced cafe on site too. Well worth a visit.
This is a lovely museum with a vast array of vehicles. The level of restoration they have achieved on the trolly buses is incredible. It is all run by local volunteers, and if you are lucky take the opportunity to be shown around. Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable, it really enhanced the visit. The receptionist had actually gone to school on one of the old buses when a child! Parking is on the road next to the museum and there were plenty of spaces when we went. A small tea room is also available for refreshments.
I've visited a few museums recently with my father. I have to say this museum is by far the best we've seen covering transport. The place maybe called 'Ipswich Transport Museum' but it very much tells the story of the history of transport in the UK. We went with the expectation of the museum being fairly small, it isn't. The collection on display is extensive and is lovingly cared for. There is a cafe on site, parking is close by on a public road. The museum charges a standard admission fee for adults of about £7.50. It's well worth the money. Definitely worth visiting, one of the best museums in the region. We really enjoyed the visit.
Friendly enthusiastic volunteers. Great for anyone interested in transport. Nice little cafe. Even has a large scale model railway.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The transport museum always impress me with their event days. The friendliness of the staff she the fabulous exhibits make every visit a joy - and we have been quite a few times now!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lovely visit from beginning to end. Well worth the two hour drive from East London. Warm welcome on entering. Staff all volunteers were kind, polite, friendly and helpful. Best were a husband and wife both in their 90s but look a lot younger! Lovely display of vehicles, bicycles, ploughs and lawnmowers, preserved to a very high standard. Went on a 'round the block' ride on a vintage double-decker bus, complete with a conductor giving out tickets! Could have left my 83 year old day playing on the miniature railway set! Childrens' play area available, small cafe and toilets. All areas were clean and tidy. Everything on the ground floor, so accessibly friendly. Parking available on side street. Would definitely recommend.
