We stopped for lunch before heading into the museum. Our friends ordered before us and received their drink order which was incorrect. Then getting their food … Burger and fries and big breakfast. Big breakfast was ok fries were cold and they managed to finish their meals before my husband and I even got our order which was a stuffed potatoe and a half breakfast. The stuffed potatoe was cold the cheese was hard and it had obviously been sitting on the bench for sometime. I took the potatoe back to counter where the young lady apologised for the error and stated they would make me another. Given the already 45 mins we had already waited, I asked how long this would take, considering that this was a reasonable request. The “chef” barked back saying it would take as long as it does and if she doesn’t want it to give the money back. I got my money back fearing I may get more on my stuffed potatoe than sour cream. Highly disappointing and would score this at a 0/5. The museum itself, whilst small, had some really interesting items to look at and took us all back to our childhood in someway. Would give the museum a 4/5 and would recommend. However I do suggest that you either take a picnic or stop elsewhere before heading there. The restaurant/diner...
Read moreIt is a really bad experience overall. We went to the entrance and there is nobody selling tickets so I went to the cafe opposite the museum. And the waitress told me I need to buy tickets at the entrance so I went back there. the old couple were hiding behind the water station. Which I couldn't tell that they are paying customers or the receptionist. The old man walked over with an impatience and racist face. And he talks really grumpy. My father doesn't know much English so I asked for 1 ticket for my father (I been there a long time ago)and I was gonna sit outside and read my book. He asked me ”do You know your numbers???” which I don't know what he means. And then my father walked in the museum and the poster on the grounds falls, he is like 5 meters away from the bloody poster and the old guy went inside asked him to put it back. Which is nonsense. He paid 20 bucks to visit the museum, Not maintain the bloody building. While I was sitting outside and reading my book. He treats other visitors quite normal. Not worth a visit and the old receptionist is a racist or he...
Read moreDazzling display of classic cars, motorbikes, scooters, bicycles, pedal cars and car related stuff. The old ornate petrol pumps are a highlight. $$ admission fee but under 5s are free so all up not too spendy if you're trying to entertain little ones on a rainy day.
The adjoining café is a definite asset for parents - my kids played independently for ages in their large fenced play area, and the food is tasty. Bathrooms are nice, including a good change table. We came and went from the museum to the cafe three times for food and bathroom breaks and nobody minded.
What would make it 5 stars? If they made the museum a little more engaging for children, or lowered the...
