Glasgow Transport Museum

This was my favourite place to visit when I was a kid in Glasgow! It may sound a bit boring to some people but it really is not! Not only are all the old cars, buses and trams really interesting to look at there are plenty of them you can go inside, and kids love to imagine they are driving the old trains. The old street is a firm favourite with everyone, and especially interesting for children to see how the streets might have looked when their grandparents were young! There's even an old cinema you can go in and watch old films about Glasgow. It's easy to get to, just hop on a number 9 or a 62 bus and get off outside Kelvingrove ...  Read the complete review

This is a museum situated in Glasgow's West end next to the River Kelvin. It is easy to get to with the subway station 5-10 mins walk away. It is also accessible by bus and if your staying in Glasgow City centre it is a 20/30 minutes walk. It is provides a look into the development of transport throughout the 20th century. There is a selection of trams on show, many over a 100 yrs old, which once trundled Glasgow's streets. An old fashioned street is also a centre piece of the museum. There is also an entire section dedicated to Glasgow's industrial past when it was world leader in ship building on the Clyde. Entrance is free, although a charitable ...  Read the complete review

I have been to the Museum of Transport in Glasgow several times, with both family and friends, and I never seem to tire of it. It is situated in the west end of Glasgow at 1 Bunhouse Road.

The underground is about 5 minutes walk and the buses from the city centre stop almost outside the door. The transport museum was opened in 1964 and has around half a million visitors per year. Entry is free and there is a car park which was free last time I was there (there was talk of the car park being made pay and display). The museum is on two ...  Read the complete review

Glasgow Transport Museum is located in the West End, takes 10-15 mins to walk from Hillhead Underground station although there are lots of buses that stop almost outside (and opposite Kelvingrove Museum). Plenty of free parking nearby. As with all Glasgow Museums, its free, so you can't really knock it. Its very popular and the staff are nice. However in some ways its a bit old-fashioned, there are lines of parked trams, buses and cars and its generally look-don't-touch. There is a vast room of model ships but they are all well behind glass. So if you've got hyper toddlers their attention might wander rather quickly. However there are some exeptions - you ...  Read the complete review
