Brilliant
We visited this museum on 09\12\2020. This is a brilliant exhibition and many of the exhibits are interactive. There is a wide range of eras on display and machinery from some very famous drivers/riders. The staff are very helpful and offer assistance or explanation when required There is a lovely cafe with a large selection of food and drink My only criticism is that the shop is very expensive so we did not make a purchase Definitely worth a visit and we will go again

Good day out
Had a good day at the Silverstone Interactive Museum. Plenty to see and do with interesting displays. It was very quiet when we went - a wet midweek day in December so there were few other people there and lots of time available to do the interactive parts of the activity. Not sure how it would be with lots more visitors all wanting to 'press the buttons' etc. But there was lots of space as the Museum is located in a larger hangar. I found the displays interesting and informative.

Silversone - steeped in history.
You don't have to be a total petrol head to visit Silverstone as there is such a diversified range of exhibits allied to a very good history of the circuit from its past to its current state as a brilliant track. We had good weather which made a good day out even better as it made it easier and more enjoyable for the outside wanderings. I did find the initial start of the exhibition rather underwhelming: standing on a grid and not knowing which screen to watch was confusing on the eye.

The greatest day of my life!!
Went to the museum but coincidentally it was a ferrari weekend at the track and was able to see fxx cars in action and to top it all off, 3 f1 ferrari cars screaming around the track with their v8's .....amazing!!! Unforgettable. Staff at the museum were super friendly and so helpful. Love this place❤

Great day out
This was a present from daughter. We arrived at 10.00 and were welcomed by staff, informed as to the process and followed the small group upstairs to start the experience. Every aspect was interesting - there was so much to see and read. We spent a very enjoyable 2 hours mooching around. The only thing that I was not too keen on was the “last lap” that made me feel very peculiar! Highly recommend this experience.

Motorsport Bug well and truly got!
Was bought the Silverstone Experience as an Xmas present 2019 & have only just been able to use the tickets for obvious reasons. What a totally fantastic set-up, from parking the car to leaving the venue everything was just so good. The staff at the Experience were helpful & knowledgeable & from the moment you smell the petrol lingering in the exhibits you'll enjoy! My partner who bought the experience & made sure she was there, is now totally hooked! Mclaren F1 cars on track really helped!

Great day out for all the family
We had a great day at the museum. lots of legendary cars and memorabilia alongside the full information about how Silverstone began. Truly a good museum. Before we left we took a look at the circuit with different cars taking the track and then the best bit; we entered the cinema that had seats that moved. We went up in a bomber alongside the red arrows and then down on the track driving among the legends. A great finish to a perfect day.

Wonderful experience
If you like hard track racing you will love the new Interactive Silverstone Experience. Once inside you are guided through the years with different displays and activities. Some areas have audio clips from people connected to Silverstone going back to when it was an airfield to today. A bucket list experience.

Excellent day out
Fab new museum showing the Silverstone story in-depth. Well designed exhibits, hands on displays, vehicles and artefacts. Plus, an exciting end to the trip with 'The Ultimate Lap' presentation. Plenty to keep us both interested for a few hours. All the staff we met were very helpful and cheerful. Good cafe too. One of us is an F1 fan, the other not - but we both had a great day.

Great day out for Formula 1 fans!
I gave this to my husband last Christmas as he loves Formula 1. It was a ticket for two so I went along. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The staff at Silverstone were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The exhibits were all interesting and there was lots of interactive material which was fun! At the end we went out beside the track and saw some Cara razing round it.

Very enjoyable visit..staff were friendly..was well organised. Good history of the Silverstone circuit and selection of racing cars over the years and bikes. The ultimate lap at the end of the visit was amazing, you get to experience what it's like to do a lap of the circuit at speed from a drivers view. Would definitely recommend a visit to anyone interested in racing.

An excellent day out!
We enjoyed our visit to the Silverstone Experience, especially as my husband is an avid Formula One fan. The exhibition is very well thought out and interesting for all ages, plus there are lots of interactive opportunities. The necessary Covid-related safeguards are excellent and the staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our only gripe was the cafe is expensive. Apart from that we couldn't fault the experience. Well done, Silverstone!

Best day ever.
My wife got the tickets for me, all staff were friendly approachable. Although it was busy it didnt feel like we were close to people. There were ferrari challenge races going on which was nice. I was unhappy that there wasnt any merchandise from any f1 teams. But theres so much to so its a great day out.

The Silverstone Experience
This was a great day out, I highly recommend this experience for those long time British Motor Racing fans. It was COVID secure, very clean and very well set out. If the weather was warmer it would of been perfect but even so we still got to see the old and new track. It was an enjoyable day out. Even my fiancée who isn’t really a fan enjoyed it!
