A fabulous day out with Thomas & Friends where you make a stop at the Bury Transport Museum. If you pre book tickets for Thomas and friends, they provide entertainment for the children at the museum. We were able to sit on all the old vehicles, trucks, buses etc - a fabulous experience. They also provided entertainment such as entertainment from rusty and dusty the station sweepers, a magician, free face painting, free balloon animal making and free rides for the children -an absolute bonus. The East Lancs Railway is a few minute walk away. For those with prams and buggys, there are walkway signs to provide easy comfortable access. I recommend booking Thomas & friends railway experience for the fun family experience at The Bury Transport Musesum. Children are provided with stickers and colouring on the train before heading out to the museum. 10/10 experience and a great museum.

A nice place to spend time and learn. It is not too big but its a free admission so what else should one expect. Very well managed, clean and tidy. It takes you in the leap of time….. I literally stood at every picture and vehicle and imagined how would it be in those days…. It must be so hard to travel and now it has become so convenient…. Everything was explained very well. Some of the instruments were not working and perhaps need maintenance or maybe was due to COVID-19. Like I said earlier that not a big place but has enough in it and worth a visit. Sometimes they do organize events so worth looking at website but the admissions aren’t free during events. Parking was also free inside the museum so it was all freebie which is a rare in U.K.

We've visited several times including as part of a trip on the East Lancs steam railway. It's a medium-sized museum but seems to have lost some of the vehicles that were previously on display. There are some interactive parts for little ones but it would benefit from much more. You can get on one of the classic buses and there's the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a bus cab. Parking is free on site and there is cheap on-road parking a short walk away on the road if this is full (the car park was actually very quiet though on our recent Sunday visit). If you are looking for other transport based museums with kids, the British Commercial Vehicke museum in Leyland and the transport museum in Cheetham Hill are similar but bigger.

Fantastic place. I was right back in time wearing my gabardine coat, satchel on my back, one sock up one down, scuffed shoes. My mum, young and lovely as ever, hair do and outfit of the time running down the isle ready to rugby tackle me before I let go of the bus pole. Cherished memories.
