One of the best spent mornings and Winter Wonderland. For £7 you get to see the history plus you get to ride a bus around Rotherham. Inside, lovley cafe with very reasonable prices. I'll definitely return.
Open one Sunday a month so you have to plan your visit, but you can pay on the door and the ticket price includes a free bus journey. I brought my 2 year old and he loved seeing all the vehicles. Also 2 coffees and 2 pastries in the cafe was around £7
We hired an old bus from the SYTM for our wedding this weekend. They helped us out last minute after our original supplier pulled out and they were fantastic. The 2 chaps that came out with the bus were lovely. The bus was dressed for us which was a lovely touch also. All the guests were aboard and had a great time as well. Thank you so much SYTM.
What an amazing place showing lots of history. All vehicles on display told a different story. Lots of memorabilia on display. Added bonus with a trip out to Conisborough Castle on a old double decker. Definitely a great afternoon out.
This museum is fantastic. All the displayed vehicles are in amazing condition. Loads to see. The staff are a credit to the museum. So friendly and knowledgeable. Our company held an even at the museum last week and it was so well run.
