Full Description

Ulster Transport Museum is a lovely family day out with trains, buses, cars and all sorts of transport history. Whether you are planning a full adventure or just looking for something different to do with the wee ones, there is plenty here to enjoy.

There is so much here for children who love anything with wheels. Wander among old locomotives, buses and vehicles, comparing them with the transport we use today. It is great fun to choose a favourite, look at how designs have changed and imagine what it would have been like to travel in the past. The collections make a brilliant indoor adventure with plenty of talking points for the whole family.

It is the sort of outing where taking your time makes all the difference. Let the children lead the exploring, stop when something catches their eye and enjoy making a few family memories together.
