The Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel

Firstly it's FREE to gain entry (although you pay for parking) so what's not to love about that! There is a cafe in the museum and in the tall ship.

Probably more of a half day out, but can stretch to a day if the weather is good and you take a picnic/have lunch there and take your time to absorbs everything.

Fab displays are well set out, some interactive exhibits and a walk through history. My boys love the steam trains (HUGE!!!!).

The tall ship outside is also free to get onto and has a cafe and small soft play on board, and there's a lift for wheelchair users to get down to it, most people leave their prams upstairs to save room. And lifts in the main museum so you can access the upper floors.

A great budget friendly day out.

I particularly liked the street of old shops which had grown since the museum was in the Kelvin Hall. The museum was busy and there was a lot to see. The museum is free but sadly parking has to be paid for so we were only there for one hour (£1.60).

We spent the morning at the museum and a really enjoyable time. It is free, but donations are encouraged.

The Glenlee ship is an awesome highlight.

Impressed with the stoicism and efforts to recover it and to bring it back to Scotland. Fantastic and quite phenomenal effort to rebuild it, and well done to the team who continue with it its ongoing maintenance.

There is an excellent video on the ships history, so recommend listening to it.

Within the main building it was great to see the history of Glasgow’s bicycles, cars, buses, train engines, and trams..the nostalgia was brilliant.

At the entrance I watched about 30 to 40 people come in over a 15 minute period and only saw 2 people make a contribution, let’s hope they did so elsewhere in the building, but sadly I doubt that they did

This museum is free to enter but would be well worth paying£5 to come in. There is a lovely street of old shops to explore. And if a steam train buff some lovely trains , a amazing collection of bikes and a wonderfull funeral hears pulled by horses. And every form of transport. The café is nice ,soup was thick and good with fresh roll.
A excellent place to visit.

What an interesting museum to visit, with all forms of transport to look at, from Cars, trains, trams, bicycles, skateboards etc. A street with old shops the interiors actually transported to the museum to show how it was originally. It has a restaurant on the ground floor (which we didn't go In) and a little Cafe on the 1st floor, which apparently makes the best coffee, I had a green tea and a lovely biscuit, made fresh with raspberry and lemon mmm. The best bit for me was the free tour and out Guide Jean was amazing, born and bred in Glasgow, she was full of stories and Information, and made it really enjoyable. We were lucky enough to be the only ones who took up the offer with this tour slot, so we had her to ourselves. We were like old friends and was sad to see her go after spending time chatting. I would recommend this museum for all the family, and there were quite a lot of toddlers there today, which was nice to see. The museum itself is free entry and there is a ship outside you can go onto that is also free but the weather was awful today so we decided not to go onboard. Definitely ask for Jean to be your guide and you won't be disappointed. Thank you Jean you made our day. We'd 2nd November 22

The museum is free to visit but again no direct public transport acess unless you are on the city sightseeing tour buses. You have to get the subway or train to partick and a long walk along a busy road

There is plenty to see but the main hall seems to be very cramed in

I have a "Hidden disability" that means I struggle to use a masks. I had my lanyard on show but as soon as I walked in I had a member of staff shouting at me to put a mask on I felt that was quite unprofessional considering its a tourist attraction if it was paid admission I would have got the manager and asked for a refund.i found this experience quite distressing

and free! The suggested donation of a fiver isn't enough for this awesome interactive museum. Do many cool modes of transport under one roof, so many historical stories - the world's worst shipbuilding disaster was heartbreaking and unbeknownst to us. Oh, there's a supercool tall ship moored outside as well. Just a brilliant half day out.

Great day out, very interesting. This would have been a 5, but we were a group of 13 meeting in the cafe, which took an age due to very unclear/confusing signposting in the museum. Other than that we loved our day out and I loved the street in particular. The real shame is how unaccessible the venue is by public transport, but a taxi does the job.

We visited (my oldest grandson who is 6 and myself) on a Saturday. The museum is fairly well sign-posted and there is plenty of on-site parking. The car park was about half full so the museum was busy. Parking is £1.60 per hour but entry to the museum (and the adjacent Tall Ship) is free.

Mask- wearing is compulsory though compliance was patchy. About 20% didn’t bother at all which is poor is an indoor environment with lots of kids.

The exhibits were as good as we remembered. As well as car, buses, trams, trains and ships, there is an old Glasgow street with a subway station and shops including a pub. A real taste of Old Glasgow.

The first floor coffee shop was closed but the main restaurant was open (but very busy so we didn’t bother).

It’s an enjoyable visit which you do at your own pace. We spent about an hour there. But you could easily spend a few hours looking at all the exhibits.

A good place to go.

I know everyone is trying their best in covid times but the rapid museum emptying times at the day's end is causing me to leave what would normally be a 5 circle review attraction only 3 circles.

We had booked online in advance (which you have to do at the moment) but could only get the 4pm slot. We knew the place closed at 5 and just had an hour.

That was all understood and fine. What we didnt expect was to be evicted from the museum prior to 5.

At 4.45, a tannoy announces museum closing in 15 mins.

At 4.50, another tannoy announcement. Closing 10 mins

At 4.55, staff approach and tell you to leave.

Was most annoying as we were just finishing off the AV presentation about the Raleigh Chopper bikes which is very close to the exit door. Literally it would have taken all of 10 seconds to get from there and off the premises.

A man approached at 4.55 and told us to make our way to the exit. We hovered a few seconds more, then a lady told us to leave. Then the first man said we had to leave right away.

We were outside the building by 4.57.

I really think, with these booking times, a less rigid approach would be welcomed. The museum was quiet. We would have all been out of there by 5 of our own volition.

I would not advise taking the 4pm slot for this reason. 60 mins is enough time for a quick over view of everything but, really it is 55 mins tops you get and you cant really relax after 45 mins due to tannoy reminders.
