It's a lovely well thought out museum with a nice history section upstairs with nice RAF touch. The cars are obviously fantastic and the interaction and informative areas are very detailed and good. It's a good day but as always with motor racing the merchandise is expensive. The restaurant has a good selection of food my only criticism would be that a tad pricy and the pizzas are well let's just say a flat tyre would be far more I interesting. C'mon Silverstone you could do better...but all that being said its a nice museum...is is really worth £100 for a family of four? Maybe not...but a least you get multi entry per annum for the real enthusiats.
Very informative, clean, most of the interactive exhibits worked. But the food and drink in the restaurant was very expensive though. Big car park which was free. Well worth the trip.

Was bought tickets as a gift, we planned to visit whilst some f1 teams were releasing cars and shaking them down, and managed to get a glimpse of the Mclaren.
The museum has plenty to look at. It's more about Silverstone and has some great history regarding the origins of the track and evolution of what it is today.
Some great cars on show included one of my favourite f1 cars, mansells Williams.
Some suits and helmets are on display along with other memorabilia too.

The shop has some nice goodies to suit most pockets, and the cafe was well stocked and even had vegan options too.

Great was to spend a few hours.

Visited here on a Sunday morning expecting it to be quite busy. It actually works well as you have a dedicated time to turn up making it an absolute breeze.

The car park is well signposted so it’s a really easy place to find.

Staff are really friendly and helpful. Check-in took all of 2 minutes.

The care is reasonably priced and has a great selection of food and drink.

The museum itself has a range of articles from the airbase that used to be on site during World War 2, all the way to F1 and Moto GP items.

It’s not a huge museum, but there is more than enough to see over a couple of hours.

There are some videos to watch before you enter and as you leave. You can leave these at any point but it’s worth sticking around for the 5 minutes.

Very nice museum for formula enthusiasts. Isn't very big, but still very entertaining. Many activities for kids to play, a fun simulator for teens and adults to try out, a nice shop with merch and souvenirs and pretty good food.

Absolutely love the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the place. There were some really amazing F1 cars and also some technical stuff on display. A bonus is the brand new tidy bathroom, cafe and the souvenir shop. I pop in everytime I come by. 😊

The museum is great to spend time wandering around. They stagger people in, so it's not overcrowded.
The outside area is nice to walk around, and if a race is on, you are able to watch it.
The 1 star is lost as I went on the simulator with a friend, this is OK value for money but disappointed as on the website it says you have a choice of cars to drive around the track, but we were only giving on option which not what we were expecting. It would have been nice to be able to choose the car as the website suggests.
