We took our train-mad 3 year old son here for a day out. Set in a beautiful part of the Peak District, the tramway village proved to be a little gem. Apart from tram rides, there are also woodland walks and a small soft play area to keep kids amused. Probably not enough here for a full-day out, and the... More

Loved the setting, the buildings and the buses. Catching the buses to get to other parts of the site was great. The tea room got a bit crowded.

The staff are all genuinely cheerful and the whole family really enjoyed the unlimited tram rides.Information in the exhibits was easy reading and captured the children's interest with a variety of presentation types.A lovely sunny day...

This transport-themed museum has developed from volunteers preserving historic trams and infrastructure to an all-round family attraction. The entrance charge can give 12-month access to the museum, except for the special themed days, so make it very good value for both local and occasional visitors. The main attraction is of course the 50 or so historic trams from both UK... More

Very good experience. When you pay to go in, you are given an old penny. On your first tram ride you hand this over for an all day ticket. Every tram you go on they give you another ticket. Although only a little thing it does make the day even more special. The day we went there were only two... More

We decided to visit Crich tramway museum as there was a morris minor day with trade stands advertised. On the website it said there was a pub abd cafe which we thought was ok for lunch. On arrival we paid £30.00 for two people which I thought was expensive. There were a few morris minors but only one trade stand... More

Great attraction with lots to see and do. The trams themselves are obviously the star of the show, but don't miss the woodland walk with great views and some brilliant 'wood-art'. Helpful friendly staff only too happy to answer questions.
