A great little museum. The staff are amazingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The various exhibits are well maintained and in virtually pristine condition. A great few hours spent wandering around. If you can, visit, you won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed my visit, went primarily to see the collection of Norman Motorcycles, which was very good. Surprised how much else was on display and such a wide variety of transport. Entrance ticket lasts a year so will definitely go back again.

Family friendly for children and adults alike, they have a vast collection of classic cars, buses and other vehicles that’s sure to spark your imagination on how people moved about in the past and a model town with a collection of functioning model trains that the children and young-at-heart can play with. The staff are very friendly and accommodating who are passionate volunteers for the museum and the food is good with very helpful catering team. Entry fee is cheap considering that it is valid for a whole year. Worth a visit when your around Dover.
