If you're looking for a truly unique day out for all the family, you can't beat Coventry Transport Museum. In the heart of Coventry city centre, this huge Museum is home to the world's largest collection of British road transport in public ownership. You'll discover the stories behind the people who made Coventry the centre of the world's motor and cycle industries, and get up close and personal with the actual vehicles that defined some of history's most important moments. The Museum is laid out as a journey through time - you'll wander 19th Century streets and discover the first bicycles, carriages and cars, then explore the first car factories and gasp as you witness their wartime destruction in the Blitz Experience. Moving through the rise and fall of the city's largest industry, you will come face to face with the world's fastest car - Thrust SSC. No where else on Earth will you find such a unique experience for the whole family.

A very good value visit, (@£14 I was dubious) I was in the exhibitions for about three hours and enjoyed every minute. A great collection and well choreographed. Laid out in halls which guide you through the history of transport manufacture in Coventry from bicycle to autonomous vehicle, with an additional exhibition housing the fastest cars in the planet. Most of the information points are provided in a clear and legible format (by museum standards) which makes it easier for people with less than perfect vision. A definite must visit.

Not just for transport enthusiasts
Housing the largest collection of British vehicles. 14 galleries are home to an array of transportation innovations from pioneering bicycles to Thrust SSC (which celebrated its 25th anniversary of holding The Land Speed Record of 763mph). Interactive displays, children's activities, memorable and luxurious vehicles, gift shop and an award winning Requires coffee shop. Parking is difficult. Disabled access good. Admission ticket includes a "free return visit" valid for 12 months.
