An excellent museum. I live in Coventry and it was only when we had visitors I went there, perhaps I should have gone before . I can recommend lunch in the cafe too.

Fantastic place, haven’t been in years so was nice to go back and revisit. We managed to see it all, we spent a good 3 hours there, but it didn’t feel like we had been there that long. Highly recommend!

Amazing place! It helps a lot to understand how Coventry used to be and how developed due to transport industry at that time. Loads of cars to see, even famous ones like Lady's D car or Queen Mary. Definitely worth a visit or two or more to explore this museum.

A bit tired, but worth a visit if you've got kids to amuse at half term.

Surprisingly good museum. Much bigger and detailed than I expected. Definitely worth a visit for motor enthusiasts, motor history and children (lots of children’s interactive things to do). If you’re not into motors it’s still interesting and very clean/well maintained. Pay and display nearby (although not many spaces).

A brilliant day out. Took 4 year old grandson who thoroughly enjoyed the museum too. So much to see and think about in terms of motoring achievements and heritage. Grandson loved the hands on STEM play on the first floor, Coventry in the blitz and the talking heads panels as you enter the ground floor. Great cafe too serving plenty of options for lunch. Hoping to make use of free return within a year tickets.
