First time visitors. We were lucky enough to have chosen a warm, sunny day to visit this working tram museum. Added bonus (for hubby) were all the vintage motorbikes on display with their enthusiastic owners. We thought the initial entrance price was very expensive. However, the ticket gives you free re-entry for a year (Premier events excluded). So well worth... More

Excellent day out. Could be improved quite a lot if they allowed you onto more of the static display of trams. I know they are old and precious (the trams not the staff) but jst standing looking at them was a little underwhelming. It was quite fun to travel on the ones in action but aa bit more variety would... More

A really good living museum. Something for everyone. Variety of trams on display is very wide. Great period buildings and street scenes. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Good value.

We visited here with our grandchildren on a cold damp day in October. Wish we had waited for a sunny day, although the children enjoyed the tram rides the cobbles were a little slippery underfoot. The displays were interesting and the children enjoyed the interactive ones. There is a small indoor soft play area which I suspect gets very busy... More

Fabulous nostalgia, and genuine living history in a rural setting. Buy ticket once and return as many times as you want in a year as well as unlimited tram rides on the day. Also there is a nature trail through the woods so the youngsters can run off their energy. It is high up and quite windy so a good... More

We visited during the Spring break, which was freezing, but still had an enjoyable day. Lots too look at inside and out including restored trams, history of trams, restoration in action and some interactive displays appropriate for children. There is also a small soft play are for very young children. I'd recommend flat shoes or walking boots as the paths... More

We visited the Crich Tramway Museum a couple of days ago & a thoroughly lovely day. The price of admission is good as ur ticket is valid for 12 months from purchase, so you can return as often as you wish in that timescale. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very nice. There is a lovely picnic area by... More

What a lovely place to visit. Plenty for both young and old and brings back lovely memories. There is lots to see and do and some little cafes to eat in when you feel peckish.

If you're a tram enthusiast then it's probably a full day experience if not its worth a look. Family friendly, not much to see but there are often events that can make the place a bit more lively. Not great from a catering perspective but a nice snapshot into the olden days. It's a small scale attraction that is a... More
