    Amazing collection of cars, motorcycles, push bikes, models and motoring exhibits. Very large collection across two large buildings. Very nice volunteers on hand to talk to about the vehicles and their history. This is a must see when visiting Whiteman Park.

    Very quiet, so got to have a good look of some amazing motors, car, bikes and models. Only museum with a F1 Car, with its engine intact.

    The motor museum western Australia is a great museum for car enthusiasts. Anyone who is interested in historic and performance vehicles should visit. It has a wide variety of cars from 1800s - 2010s. I personally enjoyed it alot and if you are in the Whiteman park area, you might as well have a picnic outside. It is was a pleasant day and will probably visit again on the future 😄

    How great is this place! I haven't been for years, it's pretty big now, Staff are friendly and helpful. I came to see the Voyager car, but the Daniel Ricciardo F1 is the show piece. I would have liked to see some more rally cars, and even a section dedicated to Rally Australia which was held in Perth for years. The McLaren 720S that is on show was also paid for by American gambling, so I'm not sure how I feel about that. You'll notice it doesn't say who has loaned it to the museum, but we all know..... I was surprised how close you can get to all the cars, it's really a great vibe here. Add it to your list if you haven't been for a while. It's pretty cheap too. Especially with the RAC discount.

    Great car museum for anyone who interested in cars. Amazing collection of old cars, bikes and other vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, etc. All sorts of cars were there such as Rolls Royce, BMW i8, etc. There is a RedBull formula 1 racing car and a fully automated passenger bus too.

    The motor museum is filled with the most amazing collection of cars and memorabilia, the staff are very knowledgeable and very willing to discuss the various machines. The entry fee is very reasonable for the upkeep of the museum (discounts for RAC members) If you are looking for a great look back into history and love automobiles then the motor museum is certainly a place to visit, from old Fords, Holden's, American, European and even a NYC taxi.

    Awesome place, i was here for the first time as part of the HSV OWNERS EOY event. It could be grown to be a venue at night for car club monthly meetings and AGM which would raise money for the venue etc

    Fantastic museum, well worth the visit, Lots of classic cars, muscle cars and modern classics to keep any car enthusiast entertained. The highlight for me and my son was the Red Bull RB10 F1 car in which Daniel Ricciardo won his first F1 race in. There is also a brand new McLaren 720 Daniel Ricciardo edition (one of only 3 in the world I think) on loan to the museum. I highly recommend a visit.

    What an awesome set of classic and modern classics. The setup is pretty well done being that the displays are brought to life with the short stories and supporting props. Typically you'd get a whole lot of cars with some facts about the car and that's it. You can tell that there's been extra effort put into all of the cars and everything else on here. A must visit especially if you're a motoring enthusiast.

    Fantastic place to see some amazing cars! The guys here do an awesome job and make you feel very much at home, they’re also on hand to talk about all of the amazing items they have out on display. The team do a great job making sure the motors look there best on display and it’s a credit to them! This is a great place for young and old to look back and relive the memories, for me it was intriguing to see how far we’ve come since the first motor vehicles.

    Could've quite easily have spent numerous hours in Caversham Motor Museum. Cars and motorcycles through the ages, what a wonderful morning! I will certainly be going back, allowing myself more time to appreciate the excellent displays.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 6 months ago on Google
    Loved loved loved everything in this place. Awesome place to visit but must have a few hours set aside as a very big exhibition of various cars bikes etc on show. The volunteers chatwith you about different vehicles are a great help. I would recommend this to anyone to go and see.

  • 5/5 Gerry P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fantastic museum. Has something for everyone, cars, bikes, model cars. Had a great chat with Dave and one of the other volunteers about some of the vehicles and their history. They are a wealth of information and knowledge and fun to listen too, keep up the great work guys!

  • 5/5 Carol B. 6 months ago on Google
    The motor museum was just amazing. The cars all had histories and were beautifully presented. There are so many cars from all time periods. There was also the largest car model collection I have ever seen. There is so much to see, and volunteers are there to answer questions. It's absolutely well worth the visit. 10 out of 10

    Visited the museum today; what a fantastic experience. The museum is spotlessly clean, and so well set out with information boards in front of each exhibit. This is a credit to the volunteers who obviously work tirelessly to ensure we visitors have a very enjoyable experience. The best motor museum we have visited on our travels. Highly recommend to others, well worth a spot.

  • 5/5 Peter B. 9 months ago on Google
    A must see for anyone interested in our motoring history. Some very unique vehicles on display.

  • 5/5 Noisy A. 1 year ago on Google
    This museum has been dusted by the Black Books Cleaner. It's oganised and cataloged by Hermies Conrad from Futurama and has a fabulous collection that spans all ages of motoring. We took a friend who has no interest in cars and she really enjoyed her self. A credit to the staff and worth a long visit.

    Interesting place, as a die cast and model car/motor collector I have never seen so many in one location and probably never wheel again. (Spoiler alert)As for real vehicles there is a Subaru 22b, R34 s tune one locstion, among Interesting HSVs and Fords. Also seeing Honda a NSR with a treat.

  • 5/5 Nur Al H. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently visited The Motor Museum of Western Australia and was thoroughly impressed. The museum had an extensive collection of vintage and classic vehicles, showcasing the evolution of the automobile. The exhibits were beautifully displayed and accompanied by informative descriptions, providing a rich history of the vehicles. I appreciated the attention to detail and the effort put into preserving these iconic machines. The museum is well-maintained, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend visiting The Motor Museum of Western Australia to anyone who loves cars, history, or just wants to see some beautiful machinery. Note: this is not a entry free museum.

  • 5/5 Bram C. 1 year ago on Google
    Can’t believe that you can easily see some of the most prized auto-sport possessions. You can go up close to Ricciardo’s rb10 to inspect its wings, aero, suspension, wheels, diffuser, etc. Experience totally worth it and you can easily spend the whole day around the museum to look at vintage cars

  • 5/5 Fraggle R. 1 year ago on Google
    As car enthusiasts we love a good car collection & this is certainly one to put at the top of your list. There's so much detail & thought that's been put into the displays, it's certainly an example of what all car museums should strive for. Wonderful staff who all volunteer their time, with something for the entire family to enjoy...not just the boys he he!

👍 $10 for adults and it’s unlimited ride during the day. There are not that many seats on the train but not that squishy. Excellent view and it only takes 20mins for a ride. Didn’t see that many kangaroos as other commenters but saw one! Recommended to come for a ride then go to Caversham wildlife par...
