Great venue and reasonably priced. It's not the biggest museum tour in the world if your interested in more of the technology in Motorsport then you can spend a bit longer in there. There are some beautiful vehicles to view and some really cool bits of memorabilia and seriously impressive projection images that seem life-like.

Simply awesome. The museum is magic. Even if you are not a Formula 1 or motorbike fanatic, the history of Silverstone will get you excited. The experience is interactive throughout and one can't possibly get bored. The organisers have done an excellent job to keep you interested and entertained. Well worth the visit.

Great day out for people of all ages. Very interesting museum with lots to see and some great exhibits. Great photo opportunities as well. Silverstone has a great history as a race track and a RAF base during the second World War. You can also walk on part of the old track and see some of the current track. Plenty of free parking and a great cafe as well. Easy to find and well signposted from the M1. Well worth a visit.

Really interesting and fun place to visit, pretty good value for money and easy parking. The exhibits are amazing for motorsport fans and there is loads of history about the circuit, the airfield and surrounding areas. Food in the cafe was very good too and not stupid expensive. We really enjoyed our time here.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Kids Absolutely loved the cars bikes and the historic atmosphere and knowledge this museum holds. Brilliant games to play and interactive activities to do too and amazing cinema experience. Build your own car and race it around the vintage Silverstone track. Sit in a classic car and admire the 7 times world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton F1 car. Had a magical time at the LAP OF LIGHT'S and we was ice skating through the F1 pit lane in and out of the garage's.

Find out the history of the circuit, how it became a circuit from its humble routes as a place to ride horses through to one of the best known and loved motor racing venues in the world. Learn about engineering, aerodynamics and then have a look at some of the iconic motor racing memorabilia... And then go out and see the circuit. We spent 2 and a half hours here, it could have been even longer if I'd read more! The muse is clean with friendly staff. There's a cafe which was a bit pricey, but I didn't go there to drink £2 cans of coke, I went to find out about the history of Silverstone and I did, presented perfectly!

Had tickets for a present. Just as well as hugely disappointed with the displays of vehicles. Maybe half a dozen race bikes and probably just over a dozen cars. Too much space given to the Silverstone Circuit history. Cafe is good value though with a small but decent choice.

This is a great place for petrol heads. Its full of nostalgia, facts and interactive fun. A must see. It is a little expensive. Though as a one off experience it's so worth it. You can even see some racing at no extra cost if you are lucky. The only thing I will say is that their online booking service really needs to improve. it is a bit of a nightmare to book when you decide to go on short notice. The staff there are so helpful under pressure but so so nice and extremely helpful. Thanks to the staff you were very helpful.

Absolutely love the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the place. There were some really amazing F1 cars and also some technical stuff on display. A bonus is the brand new tidy bathroom, cafe and the souvenir shop. I pop in everytime I come by. 😊

Fantastic museum , tells the whole silverstone story . Plenty for all ages to enjoy. I particularly enjoyed reading about how it was used during WW1 and the personal.stories of those based there.

We enjoyed our visit here & found it really was an interactive experience. Quite suitable for families or just adults. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of actual cars although what the did have were superb, I also enjoyed seeing helmets, races suits- they give you a great perspective of driver sizes- also some lovely trophy's too. The cafe was good too. All in all a very good trip out.

Silverstone Museum is an ideal day out for families and racing enthusiasts alike. We took our car mad grandson there for his birthday and he loved it. As a special treat I Pre booked the race track simulator giving him a great day out. There is ample parking as you would expect. It is modern, spotlessly clean with attentive staff. As soon as you’re booked In you’re given a wristband making it possible to return to your car for any bits and bobs you need. The small cafe is well stocked with fresh food at competitive prices. They do accept cash but prefer card payments for food and souvenirs. The museum gives you the history of Silverstone including a wealth of information on the role of the RAF at the track during World War 2. The tributes to the heroes of the war are poignant and welcome. The museum is extremely good at catering for disabled guests even going as far as having a state of the art disabled toilets. It even has hoist and changing mat with shower for any disabled guest who have had a mishap. I highly recommend Silverstone Museum especially on a typical wet summer day out.

The Silverstone Museum was a pleasant place to visit but nothing extraordinary. It shows the history of the Silverstone racetrack from it being a monastery to the track you can see today. It is fairly obvious that the vast majority of things to see relate to its motor racing history. There was a completely unnecessary and loud video sequence to watch before entering the museum and a 3D film to watch on leaving which made me feel quite ill. My main disappointments in the museum were that there was not enough to interest younger children and there were almost no exhibits that people could sit in to experience and enjoy. It would have been so popular if people could have sat in an actual F1 car and things like that. There was a quiz that children could complete and receive a lollipop at the end. Some of the questions couldn't be completed as there were some displays unavailable. The heritage trail was closed off when we visited so that aspect was missing too which was a shame. There were a few people going around the track and we were able to watch them briefly from a concrete raised viewing platform. That was enjoyable and gave a slight idea of what the place would be like on a real race day. There is a cafe on site which we didn't use but the food looked very good and the staff appeared very professional. If you bring your own food you are required to eat it outdoors on the tables and benches provided. I don't know what would happen if there was bad weather. At lunchtime the cafe got very busy. On our visit there were lots of teenage girls making good use of the girls visit free in October offer. This offer did not show up when we booked our tickets online a couple of months previously. It was good to see so many girls enjoying a love of motor racing and engineering. It hopefully bodes well for the future. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the place. The only exception was at the entrance ticket desks. Although we had pre bought tickets we were still required to queue for the ticket desks to have our tickets verified and receive our wristbands. The queues for this were long and relatively slow. The staff at the desk were generally unhappy and appeared stressed apart from the two who decided it was better to slide off into a cupboard to laugh at something from one of their phones rather than stay at their desk and clear the queues. Parking was nearby, plentiful and free although I missed any signpost telling me that it was the required car park. Toilets were plentiful and very well maintained. I am unlikely to ever visit again but at least I can say I have been to the famous Silverstone as I would be unable to cope with going to an actual race day.

What an amazing visit to the Silverstone Museum! My first visit went so smoothly! The whole visit was great from all the excellent staff being so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the visit. It was so quiet going on a Thursday. I arrived at around 1pm and had a good few hours there enjoying the cars on track doing track days and all the phenomenal history in the museum too. Well worth the visit.

It is surprisingly good. The museum is very interesting and interactive. Kids will have a great day here and will learn as well. A new experience. A good experience.

A beautiful experience for any car lover. I brought this as a gift for a F1 fan and he loved it. I, myself, am not the biggest fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was unique and full of fun interactive features. The 4D show at the end was the star of the show, it was such a great time. The track walk was closed, which was unfortunate, but we did get to watch some of a race from a view point and it was amazing!

A nice place to visit if you’re interested in motorsport. There are cars and bikes from different categories of racing and some interesting information about the track itself and the area of the site during the war. There weren’t as many things to see and do as I’d expected and the gift shop has some F1 team merchandise for more than you can get them for from the team websites themselves. I’m happy I’ve now been but I don’t think I’d make the trip back for another visit.

We had a good day out at the silverstone museum. It was was to find with ample car parking. On arrival the staff were efficient and friendly getting us in quickly. The museum is on two floors with a lift or stairs to access. The exhibits are very interesting and well laid out with plenty of interactive exhibits to keep the kids interested. There is a cafe on site with reasonably priced food and drink. Toilet facilities are also available through the museum and clean throughout. Only criticism is that it is expensive for the size, we went round in just under two hours and we took our time reading through the exhibits, other than that an excellent day out.

Visited here on the way home from the ferry France to break our journey up. If you're looking for things to see ie the cars it's great, some fab F1 cars etc but personally we have a 10 year old daughter who likes cars but was hoping for some things more interactive which were lacking, hence she ended up quite bored, this might be something worth looking at to improve the museum. They did have driving simulators but were dearer than i expected, we visited Mercedes Benz world going on holiday which was free entry by the way which i thought was better, driving simulators were a lot cheaper too. Overall the place was ok but I'm not going to rave about it unfortunately....

Excellent historic motor racing museum, with interactive areas as well as exhibits and informative displays. Covered the history of the Silverstone location as well as the race cars and motorbikes. We spent 3 hours there and didn't do it all. Well staffed with knowledgeable staff on hand when you want. Easy parking right opposite the Museum, including disabled bays near the entrance. There's a café where we had coffee and cake. I'm sure they do lunches, but we popped out to a local pub for lunch. All good 😎 👍 👍 👍

It was a good day out to learn the history of the track and motor racing. Interactive exhibits, lots of space to move around. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were able to walk on some of the old track and got to see some mini's practicing on track. The restaurant was reasonably priced.

Really good place to visit if you are a racing fan. Learning the history of the track was a bonus. Will be going again sometime, would love to race the track!!

The museum is great to spend time wandering around. They stagger people in, so it's not overcrowded. The outside area is nice to walk around, and if a race is on, you are able to watch it. The 1 star is lost as I went on the simulator with a friend, this is OK value for money but disappointed as on the website it says you have a choice of cars to drive around the track, but we were only giving on option which not what we were expecting. It would have been nice to be able to choose the car as the website suggests.

The museum is nice, but due to the history and importance of Silverstone I was expecting a more impressive museum with more collectible items. Staff was very friendly, and the place offers a free parking lot. Despite of that, I really recommend the visit. There is a coffee inside with good options for a quick lunch.

A good museum attempting to cater for all ages. Not unsurprising mostly F1 centric, but does cover some other more interesting series. Some exhibits could do with some more detailed information... but overall a good enjoyable 3hrs spent wandering about. The cafe was very good as well.

Fab place to visit if your a fan of F1 or Moto GP. Loads of history about Silverstone also. When you buy your ticket online, it enables you to use the tickets again for the year which is great. We will go back when the weather is better to do the driving experience. Approx 3-4 hours for the trip out. Nice cafe there but we thought the food was expensive. Lovely coffee though. We had bag checks when we arrived, lovely staff. Nice shop. We will definately return.

Great place to go and easy to get to, fantastic for a wet day. Plenty of parking which is free and across from the museum entrance. Nice bit of history of Silverstone before it was a race track with a part dedicated to those who served. Nice selection of cars from F1 to touring cars and bikes. Lots to keep kids entertained with interactive displays. Cafe, toilets and shop near the entrance. Buying tickets in advance will save you money

Great museum. Loads of interactive things to do here and very educational when learning about motorsport and the history of the circuit. A great selection of cars and objects to see and get up close to. Staff are also very friendly and helpful, everything was clean and clearly signed. Its very easy to get around and you can easily spend 1-2 hours here.

Really good museum with loads of interactive exhibits. Fascinating history of the airfield and development of the circuit. There is a good scalextric track and a room of simulators available for £25 for 30 minutes. It was very quiet when we went on a Sunday afternoon and I think the waits might have been frustrating if they had been busier. Each of the exhibits is well labeled but there was no real overview to allow us to plan the visit. We had no idea how big it was until we had finished.

It was such a great day out. The legends' car section was simply amazing. I would definitely recommend this for any Formula 1 enthusiast. You had access to an old decommissioned part of the track near Wellington straight. This is perfect during car launch season as you might see the cars on track.

Excellent place for an F1 enthusiast to while away a few hours. Lots of interactive things to do. Loved seeing life-like speaking avatars of legendary figures like Jackie Stewart. The film, The Ultimate Lap was amazing!

We were welcomed by helpful & friendly staff, followed by an interesting & varied collection of very special exhibits well laid out & presented, a very enjoyable day.and built right next to the spot of a previous practice day of mine many years ago.

Really enjoyed going to Silverstone. It was a gift for my partner for his birthday and it was a great day out. The museum really does have everything from beginning to end and is great for all ages! It’s super interactive and we were lucky enough to get to go on a day (wasn’t planned) where Ferraris were practising which made the experience 1000x better.

Visited on Wednesday morning, not busy so easy to enjoy interactive displays. Interesting history of the area and informative displays on various parts of cars and bikes. Would like to have seen more F1 cars from over the years. Driving simulation was brilliant.

Found the museum a little soulless and didn’t inspire the smell, history of the world famous track. Give it a go and make up your minds.

Awesome visit. Would recommend highly. The interactive parts of the visit were brilliant. If I were to have any minor criticism it would be that this is weighted towards F1 and not the MotoGP/bikes. The history was fascinating to learn.

An innovative idea on its own. A great way to learn a slice of history and not just about cars. Silverstone was an Air Force Base during WW2, mostly for Wellington Bombers. The interactive displays are fun and informative, and it's good for all ages. Highly recommended 👌

The museum seems to get mixed reviews, but, in my opinion IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! Yes if you want to spend 12hrs at a museum, go to the Natural History Museum, but if you want 5 or 6 hours, and with children that is a long time, go here, it is great!!! I also add it is the best Covid aware place I have seen, and their dealing with disabled, me, is just so, so good!!! Add a decent track event to see as well and what a day!!

Really enjoyed our day here. You can make it as intensive or passive as you like, plenty to keep all ages entertained and you definitely will learn something new. The staff were really friendly too. Covid measures in place too which is reassuring.
