Brilliant! The best part of my latest trip!
Definitely worth the 150TL (adult ticket, October 2022) Beware it's possible to miss a bit, there are signs to show "Where you are" but despite looking, I didn't find how to get to the trams! (I saw them from outside, when I thought I had seen all inside. There are a few non-transport displays - like some computers from the time of the original Apple Mac. Also steam driven machinery: for boats/ships, and woodworking. There were also many impressive models, especially of trains. If you haven't seen the amphibious car, you missed a gallery. It's among rowing boats in an upstairs section. I was a little bit disappointed in so many American cars, but there was a Ford Anglia (as in Harry Potter films), a mini cooper, and several from Rolls Royce. If you see the pub on the plans, it's accessed from the car park. I will go again! I drove there on a Sunday when the traffic wasn't quite as bed as usual. It seems awkward to get there by public transport.

Really cool
Absolutely awesome. I came across this gem completely by chance as I was on the ferry and saw the historic SH ferry docked alongside a submarine and my curiosity was raised. The next day I went and was not disappointed. So many incredible exhibits! The museum was clean and well laid out and as I was there at opening time, I only had to share the facility with a handful of other visitors. I’d imagine that in “normal times” aka pre-COVID, hoards of screaming schoolchildren would have swarmed the place as it is a perfect spot for hands-on exploration. Great spot for anyone who loves transportation and especially trains.
