Grampian Transport Museum

This great place in Alford, Aberdeenshire. Great for kids and adults alike. For grandparents brings back memories and it shows how life has changed. For all rides in an "orange" car, an old bus from the 60s

Absolutely awesome collection if transport vehicles. A lot related to the area. Great atmosphere and lovely coffee in the Cafe. Would visit again.

If you are into learning new interesting things about transportation this is the right place to visit. You can spend an entire day with your family discovering new things about all types of transportation. Highly recommended! 👍

I visited your wee museum last Saturday whilst staying in Aberdeen. Lots of interesting items from varying era's in excellent condition. Well worth the visit. Louise front of house was excellent!

Fantastic vehicle museum in the wilds of Aberdeenshire, well worth a stop and a good coffee and scone at the rear tearoom...;)x

My first visit and what an amazing museum. The exhibits were fantastic and enjoyed all the history. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the tea room too! Definitely worth a visit for both adults and children. Lots of amazing outdoor activities too. 100% recommend!

A brilliant museum with a lot to do and see. Prices for tickets are very fair and the team here are friendly and fantastic.

They have Santa for kids at the end of the year and he is definitely one of the best I have come across.

I highly recommend this Museum!

Excellent museum. Covers the full history of wheeled transport from coaches & penny-farthings to self-driving e-vehicles. Worth the trip! There is a nice tea room at the back, but check the closing time when you enter the museum!

Nice museum that has lots of old and new cars, lorries, trains, trucks, bikes, motorcycles and lots of stuff to do with transportation. It’s a lot of fun for all ages. Kids get a little task book on which there are pictures of toys. They have to spot the hidden toys and write down the number of vehicle where the toy is hidden.

Well worth a visit. Very interesting and sometimes quirky exhibits from stage coach to supercar, with some items from Guy Martin. Commercial vehicles are especially well represented. The tablet guides for further info add more background.

Brilliant dog and child friendly place for a morning/afternoon/day out. Lots to see and do with a good playground outside for the kids, fun activities to keep them interested inside and a free electric car driving experience. Well behaved dogs welcome throughout. Very happy kids and interesting for the adults too.

Lots to see in such a small space. From vintage right up to modern day. We had a blast. Restaurant services were very slow but everything was. Lean and the food was tasty. Great place for the younger

The best small museums that I have visited in recent times. The location is in the centre of the village which has free parking. They have several Guy Martin exhibits that are changed regularly.
They have a children's play bare along with a children's driving school. They have a small circuit where after a briefing about the "highway code" they can drive the small electric cars. If successful, the children are given their first "driving licence" All good fun and FREE.
There is a cafe on the premises where they have a good selection of snacks and meals, all at reasonable prices. You are also allowed to take well-behaved dogs into the cafe and museum.

friendly service , toilets on site , the museum itself is interesting , nice place with cool cars , open days with the possibility of a ride really worth a visit

This was truly delightful, from the locally produced 19th century steam trike (they've also got Billy Connolly's much later motor trike) to a Tesla Model S chassis and a huge Mack snowplough. Can't begin to do justice to just how good this is, even if you're not a transport nut (I'm more into aviation and sure enough found a Bristol Hercules and RR Griffon engine to please me). There's then-and-now archaeology of the local railway and I loved the display of bicycles, including a couple of penny-farthings and a sociable. BMW's overly optimistic presentation on autonomous cars was quite amusing, but it will doubtless come, just not to their timetable. Cafe's good too and lined with old Matchbox and Dinky toys (spotted some of mine). Visit it; you will not regret doing so.

This small but epic museum is packed full of transport exhibits. From the historical to modern there is loads to see and do. They have taken time to ensure that there are things to do for all ages. Entry is affordable and there are good consession rates available. The cafe is a really reasonably priced and the staff are welcoming and friendly. It's good for a family visit if you are looking for something a little different.

A superb transport museum covering all types of 2 and 4 wheeled transport ( or more) Lovely location with free parking.

An excellent museum with a wide range of exhibits including cars, vans, bikes, carriages, lorries, steam engines, trams and a steam train. All well displayed and documented.

Great little museum with a fabulous cross section of exhibits located in the lovely town of Alford. The country park is located right next door and it is usually possible to ride the narrow gauge railway between the two. Good value for money & a great day out for all the family. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Great collection to see the history of Transport in the Grampian. Nice quizzes for children of all ages to keep them engaged.

Nice steam engine on display and many cars and motorcycles that give a trip down the memory lane.

All the best for the team in keeping it so organised.
