Gianluca DiegoliAugust 25, 2014amazing old carriages and trains. for children (free entry) and adults, two pleasing hours. free wifi and bar inside. Download a two for one coupons, pay just 15£ for two adults)
- Matt TaylorSeptember 12, 2014A little pricey but totally worth it for transport nerds. Easily a few hours entertainment wandering round the generally quiet exhibitions. Lots of original vehicles and some brilliant models.

Anastasia TsilimidouFebruary 23, 2014A must see museum. It will take you around 3-4 hours to go around the place but believe me, you will enjoy it. If you buy the £15 ticket then you will have access for a whole year. Totally worth it!
Denis BDecember 30, 2017One of the best museums in London for whole family. Adult ticket costs 16-17 pounds, but it is worth every penny. Plus it is valid for the year!
Olivia HuMay 9, 2013A bit pricey. Worth it if you're interested in interactive museums and history. The poster gallery is wonderful. Pick out a few of your favorites and head up to the poster shop to get your very own!
Andrea CampiMay 10, 2017A classic! Kids just love this place, there's so much to see, from horse carriages to modern tube trains and buses. Not a bad way to take refuge for a few hours. Tickets are valid for a year!
Duncan McintoshSeptember 22, 2014Great gift shop , make sure to look upstairs at the prints . Good museum for kids , make sure to ask for stamp card upon entry so kids want to explore all the museum . As it's paid entry it's quieter
Lewy JonesDecember 4, 2014The pram storage is at the back right corner of the museum but if you want to follow the trail you'll have to retrace your steps to the entrance so your kids can start stamping the museum trail from 1
Deema Al-SalmanMay 15, 2016It's one of the places that your little ones will defiantly love.. Multiple playing areas, books, and driving simulations .. Don't miss it if you are in London.
Always a great spot when it's raining. The entry is expensive but when you have your ticket you can use it as many times as you want for an entire year
Junk.Y.nurseSeptember 23, 2013If you have a child as obsessed with trains as mine then do visit. £15 entry per adult will last for a whole year!!! It is really cool and not crazy busy (apart from school holiday season of course)
Nick LDecember 11, 2019So much to see for all ages. Great stamping card trail for the younger viewers. Couple of transport related play areas for the even smaller
Shireen McFarlaneNovember 16, 2014This is an amazing exhibit, I'm a huge James Bond Fan, all of the vehicles are amazing! I love it!- Chris PhillipsOctober 31, 2015A very compact, but informative museum with lots of hands-on activities for children. Tube can simulators are great fun! Tickets valid for 12 months.
Marc-Oliver SchaakeSeptember 7, 2018Interesting collection of buses, early horse tram carriages and tube trains. Entrance costs around 16£. Ticket is valid for one year with unlimited access for the registered ticket bearer.- ZaraAugust 26, 2015Incredibly fun, great for curious kids and adults alike spanning the entire history of transport from horse drawn carts to the tubes and buses we all recognise today.
Yusri EchmanAugust 5, 2013£15 for an adult! D stuff in there is all rather interesting but only if u love trains.D museum shop has some really brilliant things & d Art on d Underground exhibit at d moment is really quite cool.
Fiona SeftonSeptember 5, 2013My son has a learning disability,I asked if he could have the concession price - yes. Bonus was that 1 carer goes free! Also, ticket is valid for a year so he can go back with another carer.
Chris BrunoApril 18, 2017One of the best transportation museums around the world that I've ever been to!
Hidayah MuhamadJanuary 13, 2013Spent more than 3 hours here. Love the old adverts, info on the famous logo and the WW section. There's a £15 admission for adults though but a well-worth visit.
Fatih KuranMay 18, 2015The history of transport in London. It is worth to pay a visit for especially when you are travelling with kids
Jonathan EspirituOctober 17, 2021So many interactive exhibits!! Try to go on a weekday to avoid the kids
Leyla GahramanFebruary 18, 2017Great place to visit especially with the kids! Just near covent garden!
berrybeansJanuary 3, 2015£15 for the annual pass as the same price as the day pass. If you go to the cafe, try cappuccino.
Evening StandardMay 14, 2012Marvel over the latest digital advances and find out what's on the way in the next decade. The exhibition will also take visitors to see some predictions that didn't quite make it to fruition. Read more
One of London's best museums, as well as museum gift shops. Be sure and drive the Jubilee Line simulator.
