We a arrived just after 10 am and parked in the museum car park opposite. The parking charge was £10.00 for the day which you pay for in the museum and receive a token that lets you out of the car park. Entrance to the museum is free. The museum has a souvenir shop. Along with two food areas. The museum itself houses a wide range of of steam, diesel and modern electric engines. There is a restoration area where you are able to see the nuts and bolts aspect of the restoration process. Two adults a 12 year old 4 year old and 2 year old all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Fun day out. Lots to look at and ride on. Our 3 yr old loved it. Good science presentation for the youngsters, but lost a star for repeatedly telling the kids present that gravity was caused by the 50 miles of air above them (that'd be air pressure). If your kids like trains then this is a great place to take them. Signalling demo in the archives area was amazing...

This is a lovely museum even if you are not keen on trains. It's free admission and very well run. Personally I'm not too interested in trains but there is enough to see on a visit for those who are not enthusiasts. The royal trains are fascinating especially if you listen to one of the free tours. I enjoyed the ambulance trains exhibition and the space shuttle one was there last time I went. There is a nice restaurant near the royal trains, very popular and fun to sit amongst it all. If you are a train buff you would return time and again!

Fantastic. You can spend a day here and still find something new if you back the next if you're really looking for every bit of information. IF you're just interested in trains a bit, or maybe thinking that you'll take a child to see them, then you can still easily pass 3-4 hours looking at history of the railways, and the steam engines on show, and going into the drivers compartments on some of the classic trains of yesteryear. Food and drink are available, but prices are as inflated as you'd expect in this environment. So you may want to take a packed lunch, but if you do purchase from the cafes available, you'll not be disappointed as quality is pretty good. The gift shop inside provides a good selection of items to remember your day. Again, some things are priced highly as expected, but you can find some truly interesting things here for a good price, and we've never left without something to add to our sons train memorabilia collection

Great day out for all age groups. Friendly staff. Good food options. Really hope people do make the suggests donation of £5 per adult as even then I excellent value for money. My grandson aged 4 loved it.
