I think this is a great place to visit even if you hate cars! The artistic design of the vintage autos and the creativity put into the vehicles of that era are to be admired. They have a few planes as well. But I would suggest you go there when they have a special auto show as the inventory expands.... More

We go here at least twice/year. (Not sure if I've ever reviewed them or not!) Love that kids are really welcome. We like to go to the Winter Fest. This time we took my brother & nephew who both thoroughly enjoyed it. The MG exhibit going on when we were there was fun.

How can a transportation museum in the little area of Downeast have such a great collection of old airplanes, and cars? And they all fly and run. An experience for the whole family.

My husband and I visited the Owl's Head Transportation Museum one Sunday in January. We have no particular interest in transportation but read the reviews for the museum and thought it might be a fun stop during our weekend getaway to the area (it was also very cold so we were looking for an indoor attraction open in the off-season)....

My husband is an antique car enthusiast, so no visit to Rockland goes by without an Owls Head Transportation visit. He spends almost the entire day there! I've been there with him, and am amazed at all of the historical items. I also brought my daughter, and she got quite a history lesson! Very much recommend a visit!

The Transportation Museum has a huge variety of vehicles from aircraft to cars and so much more! The kids love to learn about "the way things used to be". The education director Ethan Yankura always does such wonderful activities over the holidays and summer breaks for the children-he is super knowledgeable about everything at the museum- he should be the...

Come to the Owls Head Trans. Museum. We often come to the Museum with our grandson (now 10) and his friend(s). We always learn something new and have fun. We've been to the children's programs which are always well planned and staffed. We've been to one of their auctions which was a wonderful experience. The Museum is a wonderful place... More

Wonderful, interesting assemblage of transportation vehicles and displays with great factual information. If you like history and stories of how some vehicles came about, this is for you.

Whether you are into planes, cars, mechanization, restoration or just enjoy finely restored classics, this is a great place to visit. Even the gift shop is unique.Everywhere you look there is something that grabs your attention.
