What a hidden gem. This is an amazing place run by some very enthusiastic and skilled volunteers. The place is filled with fantastic original trams buses and historical vehicles, along with an amazing model railway. Birkenhead is the birthplace of the trams and this is a must place to visit. We brought our your 2 and 3 year old grandchildren and absolutely loved it especially the tram ride to the ferry terminal. It's easy to get to by Ferry from Liverpool or on the Liverpool underground with the station a few hundred yards away.

We visited the museum last weekend and we were really impressed! There's a lot to look at, from old trams and buses to a miniature railway. My favourite part was definitely being able to have a tram ride on one of the old trams, this was also very cheap and was only £2 for an adult's ticket. I would highly recommend visiting this museum!

We had a group visit on a week day when it's not open to the public, with a guided tour. Definitely a better way to see the museum. There is so much to see, anyone who loves trams and buses will enjoy it immensely. The little cafe is great and the tram trip, though shortened for the moment, is a real experience, trundling through the old industrial area, past the college and back. And it's all free!

Superb! We caught the tram from woodside ferry to the museum tram was £6 return for family of 4 and the museum is free!. We parked at monks ferry as it was £2.50 all day and it was a short walk to the tram from there, which runs every half hour. Lots to see in the museum and they even let me look in a tram that wasn't open to the public. Nice small shop selling souvenirs and a very small cafe serving drinks and snacks

Fantastic museum. Lots of interesting vehicles

It is really good as it is run by volunteers and they run trams for the public. And they are really friendly. and the actual museum is packed full of interesting tram and bus exhibits with a full model railway inside well worth a look at and it's a fun day out for the kids. It had full access for disabled with a wheelchair ramp to upper floor access.

This is the kind of place I love! Small, but perfectly formed. Free for some reason (should have a donations bucket at the front door). £2 return on the Tram ride. Absolutely packed with photos and paraphernalia as well as trams, buses, bikes, model trains, motorbikes. Something for everyone, kids and adults alike.

A great small free entry museum. Good for kids and enthusiasts.

What a hidden jem, great visit and stay were really friendly. Can spend about an hourish here especially if you try the tram, which I highly recommend. Make sure you check it out if in the area. Tip: If your hungry get the tram from the museum to Woodside Ferry Terminal and grab something to eat at the food court before jumping back on to get back to the museum. We did not realise you could do this and ended up walking down after!

Had a lovely time today,my 7 yearold loved it ,good place for kids day out

A hidden gem tucked away; the short tram ride is excellent value for money. Only four stars because the tram ride is temporarily shortened whilst they work on the track.

Wonder around the wonderful free museum, then take a magical short tram ride to Woodside Ferry and back for a small fee.

This is a great museum in Birkenhead. There is plenty to see and the museum is free. It costs £2 for a return trip on the tram from the ferry terminal at Woodside. Its a reason to take the ferry across the Mersey and experience a bit of heritage Merseyside.

A gem of a museum in Birkenhead, outstanding tram restorations, volunteers do amazing work here.

Fabulous exhibits of buses, trams and other road vehicles on show, all well maintained in excellent condition. So much to see, a camera is a must to have with you. The volunteer staff there are very helpful and friendly. It's an amazing place to spend an hour or so and it's free.

Excellent place, friendly staff, great place all generations to visit.

What a fantastic place lovely to go on the tram and old busses lovely for families full of history

Excellent place

Excellent historical and societal museum with lots of old busses and trams refurbished and on display. Was visiting from 🇨🇦and my local friend David took me there for a eye opening private tour. Well done !

Well worth visiting via the tram ride from the Ferry terminal especially if you’re visiting the U-Boat! There are some old penny games you can play at the back. Get your old pennies from the tea bar.

An absolute hidden gem,. A brilliant museum with plenty of exhibits as well as the added benefit of being able to ride on the vintage trams. Well and truly worth a visit

This is a hidden gem! A little transport museum tucked away in the streets of Birkenhead, filled with decades of history. It’s free to enter the museum and only a few pounds to go on a tram ride. There are buses and trams and vintage cars, models and quite a large running train set. All the staff are friendly and happy to explain more details. It’s usually just open at the weekends but they are also open during the kids half term. It has a little cafe to grab a cup of tea and the have a wheelchair accessible lift to look around the upper section.

May be useful to potential visitors if the website was updated more frequently. I'm sure something must have happened since November 2019

Lovely day out at the Transport Museum open day. We really enjoyed riding the trams and going on the free vintage bus rides around the town. The military display and bus displays around the town were very good and we enjoyed browsing at what was for sale at the sellers stalls inside the museum. We will definitely look out for next year's event. A very well organised event if I may say so 👍

Easter egg hunt well planned all staff very helpful great day out!!

The museum is large and interesting, we came on the recommendation of friends and we didn't regret it. The exhibits are clean and you can go inside, we were pleased)

Kept the mini train enthusiast more than occupied for a few hours. Highlights include an old double decker bus to play on, a huge model train track and of course the tram. The tram takes you over to a wonderful food marker at Woodside.

A very nice museum with all kinds of transport covered, friendly people to show you around, a good coffee and a little trip on the tramline made the experience complete

Great afternoon out was had, the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly with a love for trams.

Great little museum hidden away in birkenhead smells of an old machine shop inside full of lovely vintage vehicles a real hidden diamond.

Hidden gem! Such an investing place and a great trip down memory lane. Such dedicated volunteers and completely free!
