点评:We honestly didn’t know quite what to expect, but wow — the British Motor Museum completely won us over. The range of cars is incredible, all different ages and models, and the info alongside each one was genuinely fascinating rather than just a plaque you skim past. There were other bits and pieces dotted around too which added to it. And “Time Road” - what a lovely touch, right down to the road surface changing to match the era you’re walking through. Little details like that make all the difference.
There’s a Forza set-up on the mezzanine with five stations, which sounded like a lot of fun, but they were in constant use while we were there so we never got a go ourselves. Bit of a shame, but honestly it barely put a dent in what was otherwise a brilliant day. We still snapped a photo on the podium.
The staff were an absolute highlight - so friendly and clearly love what they do, always ready to chat and share a little snippet if you seemed interested. We didn’t do a guided tour ourselves but caught bits of a couple as we walked past and they sounded great.
A few practical bits: loads of parking, and the cafe’s lovely with plenty of seating and a good menu.
We ended up there for a good three hours and honestly could’ve stayed longer! Only tiny grumble - my husband’s got a nearly 30-year-old Peugeot 306 GTI and was a bit gutted there was no Peugeot keyring in the shop 🤣 (I did remind him it was the ‘British’ motor museum really!)
We got tickets online and ended up with the year pass, so we’ll definitely be back m and dragging a few more people along with us next time!
翻译:说实话,我们原本并不知道会有怎样的体验,但天哪——英国汽车博物馆真的深深打动了我们。馆内陈列的汽车种类极其丰富,涵盖了各个年代与型号;每件展品旁的介绍也相当有趣,绝不只是那种随便瞥一眼就过去的说明牌。博物馆里还有许多其他有趣的细节设计,更增添了参观的乐趣。至于那条“时光之路”——真是绝妙的创意啊!就连路面图案都会随着所处时代的不同而发生变化呢。这类小细节往往能起到决定性作用。
阁楼上设有一个Forza体验区,共有五个操作台,听起来就很有趣。不过我们在那儿的时候,那些操作台一直有人在使用,所以我们根本没机会体验。虽然有点遗憾,但说实话,这丝毫没有影响我们度过一个极其愉快的一天。我们还是在领奖台上拍了张照片。
工作人员绝对是这一天的亮点——他们极其友善,显然也热爱自己的工作。总是乐于聊天,如果你表现出兴趣,他们还会分享一些小细节。我们自己没有参加导览游,但在路过时听到了几次导览讲解,听起来都相当不错。
一些实用信息:停车场很充足;咖啡馆也很不错,座位众多且菜单丰富。
我们最终在那里待了整整三个小时,说实话,还能再待久一点呢!只有一个小遗憾——我丈夫有一辆车龄快30年的标致306 GTI,他有点失望的是店里没有标致品牌的钥匙链🤣(不过我也提醒他,这里其实是“英国”汽车博物馆啦!)
我们在网上买了票,最后还买了年票,所以下次我们肯定还会再来,而且还会带上更多人一起去!
