What visitors say
I've been wanting to take my grandson here for some time now, today was the day. Its was nice as not many there today, only another 8 people. Showing him bikes that are over 100 years old and explaining the differences. He really enjoyed himself looking at all the motorbikes. 5 halls with a plethora of history. You can see all the work that has gone into collating this collection. Amazing. Treated ourselves to a hot chocolate and got sausage roll after our walk around. Gift shop was great too, lots to see. Also got tickets to win a bike.🤞. Definitely worth a visit if on a ride out and call in for a hot drink, great area with a few bikes to see without going into museum. Or come with the family and go round the museum. Look forward to coming back on the bike when the weather improves.

Absolutely stunning venue, huge free parking. Nice seating, cafe area. The museum itself is set out into 5 large rooms. Each area is dedicated to each Mark of machine or type. Lots of machinery you have not seen before. Some very rare and unique

On a Sunday I visited the National Motorcycle Museum and had a really pleasant experience. The atmosphere inside was warm and cosy, making it a very welcoming place to spend some time. Although I didn’t go into the museum itself on this visit, the venue was hosting the Birmingham Clock & Watch Fair, which is what brought me there. The event was well organised and the space worked perfectly for it, with plenty of interesting stalls and a great crowd of enthusiasts. The museum complex itself is clearly well maintained and has a lovely ambience throughout. Even though I didn’t explore the motorcycle exhibits this time, it’s definitely somewhere I’d like to return to properly in the future to see the impressive collection. A great venue overall and well worth a visit.

We've been saying for years (30+) that we need to visit this museum and we're very pleased that we made the journey from West Wales. We spent a good 3 hours walking round. You could easily spend longer if you read the information about every single bike. Great to see all the British bikes and who knew there had been so many manufacturers??! Cafe offers sandwiches, cakes, hot and cold drinks. Toilets were spotlessly clean and plenty of free parking.
