My family and I visited back in November and again today, as initial entrance fee is valid for the entire year. This is excellent value for money, and the volunteers have done an amazing job to make this place look great. My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves this place. Even if your not particularly into motor vehicles, this museum is still an absolute gem. The museum displays include vehicles of all kinds, shops which you actually walk into and upstairs. Our favourite sections were being allowed upstairs on the double decker tour bus, model railway (which is huge) and when it's available- using the fire engine hose to knock down targets! Well done to all the volunteers that make this place such a great day out.

One of the most exciting and friendly places to go if you are into history or love classic cars, trucks and bikes. Fantastic volunteers and staff, friendly atmosphere and café inside. One time ticket purchase gives you access for a year, sometimes there are events held like the classic bike show last weekend! It was excellent.

Excellent surprisingly large museum, well presented with fascinating range of exhibits. The enthusiasm of the team is infectious, and the cafe definitely worth a visit too. Their collections are displayed with informative notice boards, and presented such that you can readily access sections that are of most interest to you. Outside there is plenty of space for specialist marque clubs and events, which added further interest and value to us on the day of our visit.

Cavernous space full of old treasures. Great place for adults and kids. Very friendly staff and nice little café. The entry ticket also is valid for a year! Worth checking out. You can easily pass the hours here!

Interesting mix of exhibits, very helpful volunteers, nice little cafe inside with cake and other bits. Also a shop selling transport related memorabilia and gifts. Pay once and you can visit again as many times as you want within a year. Recommended.

A lot to see on what is a fairly small site. Subscribe to them to hear about the regular events they hold. Paid entrance once gets you access for a whole year!! Ran by volunteers. When you visit, look out for the Ted Pursey garage display, he was my Grandfather!

Great morning visiting whilst on a staycation in Kent.y son loved the model train exhibit and the train ride outside. Some areas look a little 'tired' but overall a really good day.
