Very interesting museum with lots to see and read about. Surprisingly good for children and has its own child friendly seating area for children to do colouring in. The exhibits are in great condition and my daughter loved going on and off the buses and the fire engines. The staff are lovely and the cafe is excellent with great service and lovely food. We spent around an hour visitng the museum but you could easily stay for longer or indeed for less time and it would still be worthwhile.

We have visited this museum a few times and it’s always great. Today they were open for their Christmas event. The amount of effort that had gone into this was incredible. The lights were beautiful, covering the whole museum, it was like a winter wonderland. There was a treasure hunt for the kids with pictures around to find. Many vehicles were open to look around and we went on a bus ride around the nearby area included in our ticket. The volunteers around the museum, helping people park,checking everyone in, running the children’s hunt, in the cafe, driving/doing bus tickets were lovely. Oh and the lad doing the Christmas music was a great addition! Not to mention all the normal exhibits and great information that goes with them. We love to visit and would recommend to anyone.

This is an excellent museum, with well-maintained exhibits that are regularly driven, very varied in nature and with a bias towards either manufacture or service locally. As a classic car restorer, I know and appreciate what it takes to restore or maintain vehicles such as these. The quality of paintwork, signwriting and trim is absolutely superb, and of a standard very rarely seen in even national museums. A huge bonus is being able to get in and sit in the coaches and buses - I could have sat in the sumptuous seats of the Bedford OB coach for hours. An absolute jewel of a museum that should not be missed.

What an incredible museum! Our first visit. So much to see and do. Visited this afternoon with two of our grandchildren (aged 9 and 7) and we all had a great time. So much to see and much of it very nostalgic especially for my wife who grew up in Ipswich and had travelled on many of the buses! She also had owned an NSU Quickly similar to the one on display. Thoroughly enjoyed the tea room. The museum is run by an excellent team of volunteers who were all very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We will return.
