"Loved this Place...we visited The Tasmanian Transport museum a few weeks ago...so much to look at, and also enjoyed a small ride on one of the trains. Definitely worth a visit."
"We had an excellent home-school outing to the transport museum."
"Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with my grandson who loves trains. The staff there really went out of their way to make it entertaining. A wonderful asset in the local community of Glenorchy."
"What a great way to spend a lazy Sunday looking through the historic Tasmanian Transport Museum at Glenorchy. I took my kids aged 5 & 7 and they had a ball. Plenty of old fire engines, old trams, buses, & an arrange of different trains. You can also walk in them all & explore their history. My kids loved making out they were driving them steering and walking up stairs to the top deck was their fav. The toilets are very clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly. The main passenger train runs all day up-and-down up-and-down, we went on around 4-5 times. Yes it’s not that long but it’s still great. The museum has a lot of history for the oldies & all the train lovers. And finally, the best thing is the price in this day and age. It’s surprisingly still very cheap to get through the gate. $6 for the kids & $11 for a adult concession $12 for none concession, you Can’t beat that. 10/10 Thanks Guys we will be back"
