I love this museum, lots of different types of transport throughout the different ages from bikes to cars, very well set out , great place to go on a rainy day. Full review by urbanraccoon
When did this start charging? We live just outside Coventry and so don’t qualify for the free pass. We are devastated as we visited every year when free but it’s far outside what out family can afford at £14 a ticket.

Interesting you ask. Coventry is a dysfunctional city and I somehow manage to get a ticket on every visit despite having a blue badge. Road markings and signs are unclear, and even more of a challenge is the one way and bus only restrictions which can trap you and where cameras will cause the automated writing of tickets. Great museum, ass-hole of a town. And pathetic Labour council for decades. Good luck.
Are there any electric cars, 'cars of the future' or e-bikes on display? With explanations of their design features? My 14-year-old son is especially interested in this area of the transport industry. Are there displays about future developments in transport as well as past history?
A:
Hi there, I don't think there was overly, no, it was definitely a more "through the ages" type thing but no real focus on progressive transport. Hope that helps a little. Lucy
