   A lovely day out . We had spent the weekend in Matlock Bath. A truly lovely place to visit. The tramway village is only approximately 6miles away. It's like stepping back in time . Along with many trams on display, there are some you travel on along a track. An old fashioned sweetshop and pub . There's a cafe serving food . Sadly the country walk got to by the tram was closed due to the bad weather. Tickets are valid for 12 months so hopefully will go back in the summer months

   What a great day we had, it's steam punk weekend here, and decided to go along to find out what it was like. £25 per adult but free to come back within 12 months. Blast from the past as you walk down to the recreation of tram life with the extra of alot of people dressed up in their desired steam punk outfits. Great to see them all. So much to see with the history of trams, and the woodland walk is a must, we really enjoyed this part. Cant wait to go back again.

   Totally surprised myself by how interesting I found this! These are beautiful to look and watch as they go past. Such a shame that we don't use these anymore! There was plenty to do and see. The woodland walks with the wooden sculptures were great! We loved the wooden potato head! We all enjoyed the Tram ride through the village! Great day out!

   Great day out. A big part of family holidays when I was a child was riding the trams at Blackpool along the seafront. Seeing a couple of these at the museum brought back some very happy memories. My parents would have rode on trams like some of these when they were young. It’s fantastic to see so many all in one place and all so well preserved. I love this sort of place. It’s so amazing that people had the foresight to save these items, be they trams or trains or buses, vintage cars, old buildings. They deserve our full support. Will definitely pay another visit.

   Crich Tramway Village is an absolute delight for all ages! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warmest and most helpful staff and volunteers who clearly love what they do. Their passion and friendliness truly made the day extra special. The whole experience is beautifully nostalgic, like stepping back in time. Riding the vintage trams through the scenic countryside is both relaxing and fascinating. The recreated period street, old-style sweet shops, exhibitions, and woodland walk make it a full day out, rain or shine! One of the best surprises? Free parking and the fact that a full-price ticket gives you unlimited return visits for a whole year! That’s incredible value for money — we’ll definitely be coming back again (and again)! Whether you’re into history, transport, or just looking for a fun and peaceful family day out, Crich Tramway Village is a must-visit. Highly recommended! THERE IS A SOFT PLAY AREA AND OUTDOOR PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN !! NO ONE WILL FEEL BOARD HERE

   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!
