"What a hidden gem. We went on a weekday, and what a splendid day we had. Obviously quiet, but lots to see and do. Pay for adult entry, and you can use that ticket all year. Plentiful parking has a cafe, magnificent pub, and ice cream parlour. The tour, delivered by Ken, was insightful, funny, and informative. Ken, you should be on stage with your quips and big-hearted delivery. The tram rides take you up and down, and you can do the woodland walk, up to the monument with views to 8 counties. Picnic areas with outdoor seating and the exhibition hall with a mine of information. All in all, a great day out and worth returning to. All the staff are warm and welcoming. All run by volunteers and commendable work. From engineers, inspectors, guides and back room staff. Well done."
"Excellent day out with my grandkids, they loved the static displays an really enjoyed riding the trams. Woodland walk was pleasant with sculptures and things to do along the way. My grandson especially enjoyed the walk and views from Crich Stand. In all a very enjoyable day, bonus the ticket is valid for 12 months from date of issue and we'll definitely be returning."
"Really interesting place! I love everything mechanical, and was really good to see these bits of machinery looking so loved and still working. The setting is incredible too! The rebuilt pub, the street furniture, and the museum section with the workshops was really informative. If you get chance to go here, it's well worth it. We spent about 3 to 4 hours here and still didnt see everything, but we will be back soon. Also free admission for 12 months after!"
"A wonderful place to visit, especially at summer time with your families, friends, and younglings. This place is just full of life, and a lot of people and all kinds of stuff to see like: quite big variety of trams, big collection of all kinds of motorcycle from WW1, WW2, old classic ones, and modern ones as well, parks etc. Very unique and beautiful place for sure! To visit my verdict - 10/10 strong one!"
"Such a lovely place to visit. Very interesting and enjoyable for all ages! Places to eat and drink, including an old fashion pub. Walk at the top end of the village through the woods with beautiful wooden and stone sculptures. Tram can take you up and down the village, making it easy access for anyone who can't walk too far. Staff very friendly and helpful had an amazing time thank you!"
