Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum — Attraction in North Kesteven

Absolutely fascinating. Very busy, lots of families, great to see children so excited and interested in these old vehicles. The museum is larger than I had envisaged, with much more than vehicles here. Road signs, photographs, badges, vehicles waiting to be renovated, an AA box, rooms kitted out as old workshops .... and on it goes. Bus rides all day, always full - there must have been 4 or 5 out constantly. We went on the open topped bus, a good 20 - 30 minutes ride. Fabulous. Lots of enthusiastic volunteers, lot's of people reminiscing. The cafe didn't really keep up, too many visitors I think. Long queues at times, and most definitely not enough toilets .. but that was acceptable given the huge numbers there. I really hope people donated generously, this was a free event, even the bus rides were free (I personally think there should have been a small charge, at least to cover the fuel used on each run), given the amount to see and do I would wholly recommend a visit to this amazing museum. There are various 'events' on during the year - see their website and don't...

Can not recommend this place enough!! Ask for Paul to do your tour if available. We home-educate our daughter and were only in the area for 4 days, so emailed about visiting on Thursday, at 10 pm Wednesday. We then had a reply to confirm a visit was available at 9 am Thursday morning!

Once we arrived we had a guided tour from Paul, who was patient with the kids (my 2-year-old son also came) gave information relevant to their age & interests and was so kind. Well worth a visit, the kids could also go into a few of the buses, rang the fire engine bell, and were in awe of the size colours and scale of everything!

Also it's free to enter, they just ask...

Well worth a phone call or email to the museum if you want to visit on Tuesday or Thursday. You'll get to meet a fantastic, knowledgeable group of enthusiastic people who are more than willing to show you around and get you involved in some of the highly skilled restoration work in the workshop The collection consists of cycles, motorbikes, trucks, vans and cars along with automotive memorabilia and history of Lincolnshire motoring. Thank you to all the members and volunteers at the museum for a most...
