The national motor museum is a must see for all new forest visitors and residents.

It has been an established tourist attraction for donkeys years and we have been several times not only through our childhood but as now residents of the forest and never fail to have a beautiful day there. There are regularly events taking part and some of which are free when you go there, such as at halloween they give ghost stories, face painting, prizes and for bonfire night they never fail to put on a spectacular show usually to music of films.

The prices are relatively expensive to get in at £15 per adult and £8 per child however when you pay to get in you will be asked if you would like to give gift aid, always say yes because then you fill in a small card with your details but that gives you free entry to the museum for a year, so an excellent deal.

There are 2 for 1 vouchers for the attraction on various local sites including heart fm and on the backs of leaflets for it. The grounds are exquisite and can be walked around for miles as well as the monorail which is a high train track running around the attraction. Excellent for children and adults alike.

There is a cafe, ice cream parlours and a shop as well as bus rides, picnic areas, house tours, and the motor museum itself which is full of vehicles ranging from WW1. Inside the museum there is a pod ride which is excellent and we always go on it, as well as famous vehicles from movies and tv shows.

Its great fun, you get to see history but through an interesting way and its excellent value for money for a day out especially when you take up the gift aid.
