Little known hidden gem attraction in the Inner West of Sydney. Only open on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. The setup is impressive with restored vintage buses housed in a large warehouse/hangar. Some buses you can go on, including upstairs on the double deckers. They also have a red London double decker and the old Hong Kong double deckers.
I enjoyed seeing buses from my childhood (with the vinyl blue tartan print). My mum enjoyed seeing the double decker buses from the 1960s that she used to catch in the city to work. The signage is very detailed especially the World War 2 exhibit with lots of facts I didn't know.
There are also displays of models, old uniforms and tickets, signage, bus stops and benches.
The highlight was catching the vintage double decker bus from the museum to Park Street in the city. We sat up on the top deck at the front and it was quite a different view of ANZAC Bridge as the bus chugged along. We got off in the city to have lunch but there is the option to do a round trip, return later or start your journey in the city out to the museum then back to the city (which I would recommend for tourists.
The place is run by enthusiastic volunteers who know their stuff and their passion shines through. There is a gift shop onsite that sells books, models and collectors items and well as chips and soft drinks / water. They make annoucements when the buses are departing so you can queue up outside.
Great day out, nostalgic and the kids looked like they were loving it too! $22 for adults which includes bus rides.
