Visited here on a family trip to Dundee. What a great little museum. It’s packed with great vehicles and interesting displays. The staff were absolutely brilliant and really made the visit even better.
They have a one way system in place and it works really well. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is there and really cool to see in the flesh.
The staff are all volunteers and it shows with their enthusiasm and we’re on hand to answer any questions and tell stories about their interesting finds. They even let our son sit in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Fire Engine which he was thrilled about.
I would highly recommend a visit here if you are in Dundee
