Bus back to St. Helier was difficult due to diversions, we actually had to go away from town and back. Road from the bus to/from the museum was very narrow to walk, busy with HGVs and there was no pavement.

No WiFi available and very limited refreshments at the museum.

We went because my mum wanted to go on the steam train ride which stopped 7 years ago.

Displays were very clean and nicely laid out.

Description panels are often too small and hard to read, no consistency at all.

A website linked or voice guide would really help.

Brilliant little museum, plenty to see and most items have a write up about the history of that item. This museum is fully disabled friendly as well which is amazing! Highly recommended

The museum is really good and thorough. Maybe seen some better days in the surrounding. Not sure it was worth £12 each, maybe £10. It is worth to visit, many different things to see.

Excellent museum of steam engines, motor vehicles, farm machinery, organs and much more. Needed more time than I had available. Only downside is limited refreshment facilities.

Although it's small it is packed full of times gone by like steam trains, cars, trucks, bikes, farmland machinery, children's toys and much more. A place well worth seeing it is wonderful to see.

What a great little museum. A number of steam vehicles, lots of older cars, a few motorcycles and a smattering of old radios, bikes, organs, stationary engines, I'm sure you get the picture. There's even a couple of steam engines with carriages, unfortunately they don't have track for a good steam up but the place is still very impressive. I loved it but our coach was on a limited time visit and I would like to have spent about four hours there. Grrreat.

Went here last Thursday with my brother while on hoildays in jersey. We got here at 10am and the lady wh was working there was very friendly and helpful and was telling us about the air show that was on and the best place to view it.
Well worth a visit if you like motor cars or an interest in automobiles. It’s only £8 to get in for an adult. Plenty to see but the star of the show for me and my brother was an escort Mexico (they don’t make them like this anymore. Also there was a Ford Cortina GT that was my favourite two. But plenty’s of vehicles to see. Well worth a visit and would recommend this to anybody but check the times as don’t think this opens every day.
