There's plenty to do so allow plenty of time to see everything and be aware that there may be queues for the Thrust SSC landspeed record simulator at busy times.

The world's largest publicly owned collection of British vehicles!

Coventry Transport Museum houses the largest publicly owned collection of British vehicles on the planet and tells the story of a city which changed the world through transport. Visitors can expect captivating displays, interactive galleries, and highly immersive exhibitions - a day to remember.

14 fully accessible galleries are home to the fastest vehicle in the world, pioneering bicycles, transport champions and many of the most innovative, memorable and luxurious vehicles of the last 200 years.

FREE Family Activities Available

Take a break from exploring the largest collection of British vehicles and relax in our Play and Make Zone. Located in our Future Technology Gallery, discover the wonderful world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in a playful way through big play and a variety of crafts to enjoy at your own pace.

Mini Museum Engineers Play

Ready, steady, engineer! Get stuck into creative problem-solving and let your imagination loose in an open-ended play environment, with different themes linked to our museum collections each week.

Family Museum Engineers Play: Saturday PLAY Days

Family Museum Engineers are play sessions designed for the whole family, providing opportunities to explore an open-ended play environment using unique resources with a STEM* based approach that encourage engineering skills, problem-solving, imagination and, of course, quality family fun! The sessions are linked to themes and objects within our collections and take place directly in the gallery spaces, giving your children (and the adults too) experiences of museum environments through a very playful approach.

The 4D Land Speed Record Simulator

Want to know what it's like driving the fastest car in the world?

Now you too can experience the thrill of breaking the World Land Speed Record on our 4D Land Speed Record Simulator!

Take your seat, buckle up, and discover for yourself what it's like to drive faster than the speed of sound, across the Black Rock Desert in America...

The possibility of driving the fastest car on earth has gripped the imaginations of many men and women since the first land speed record was set in 1898. Back then, the top speed achieved was just under 40 miles per hour (mph). Today, it stands at over 760mph – faster than the speed of sound.

Our amazing simulator will let you experience the thrill of the land speed record attempt.
