Reviews of Haynes Motor Museum

Parent blogger Tinbox Traveller said:

"Every now and again an attraction surprises you in a good way. During a winter glamping break in the South West Mr Tin Box suggested we visit Haynes International Motor Museum with our kids.

Mr Tin Box and I have visited before, about 10-years-ago, and there was a very noticeable and striking change to the museum frontage and the family-friendly things to do inside. Ehibits range from some of the earliest automobiles and vintage vehicles from the early 20th Century to Hot Rods, super cars and American classics. There’s also an extensive collection of motorcycles, a motor sport exhibition and memorabilia.

There’s lots of activities throughout the museum to get kids of all ages engaged."
