Loads for kids to touch , dress up and vehicles to play in. Lovely little cafe, even backpacks for those with sensory processing difficulties and a quiet room. Loads of fun and suitable from toddler to adult.

Definitely a must if like us , you are exploring Sheffield for a couple of days. Lots to see and read about on all the services. Raining too much for us to see all the great vechiles outside but the entry ticket is valid for a return visit so it gives you ample time to revisit when you know the weather is going to be dry. Great gift shop and prices are really reasonable.

It’s such a well looked after museum. There’s so many vehicles and things of interest. I loved the mobile incubator from the 1960s. It was very spacy! The staff are enthusiastic. My son is additional needs and was very comfortable in this museum once he got used to some of the siren sounds. There’s extra features for children like a little climbing room, quiet room and reading room. You know what I loved too? They made a piece of toast in the cafe perfectly and the tea cake. So many people burn tea cakes. But it’s details like this - not burning toast that make it an enjoyable experience for me.

I took my 2 boys 4 & 8 we had a great time. The main reason we went was because they were doing lifeboat tours on that day. It was great that there were vehicles that the kids could actually go in, usually museums of this type are covered in no touching signs. The staff were all really nice and friendly too We parked in the brookshaw park car park that was only 5 mins walk away and very reasonably priced

Lovely museum. Interesting and interactive for all ages. How they fit everything in the relatively small footprint at the side of other museums I don’t know, but something to engage all ages.. 6 - 60 in our family visit. Ticket price great value and gives you a years access. Give it a go.

Drive from Worcester, well worth the journey .. Lots of old vehicles .. lots of interesting facts to read about .. The station is much bigger than you think .. Car park opposite, pay by phone app .

Very well thought out museum had a natural flow to the exhibits. Fun for everyone of all ages. Child friendly with enough interactive exhibits to keep them interested. This museum is run by a small team which are welcoming and really friendly. Gift shop worth a visit and the cafe was very clean do yourself a favour and visit

Was an amazingly fun experience with lots of sheffield history, was interesting to learn more about the history of sheffield and more city’s within the UK. The section of cars was my personal favourite followed by the Word War sections, the addition of the life boat was very nice as it wasn’t there when i last went many years ago, Highly recommend, will definitely be going back (tickets being a year return is a bonus!).

This is a little gem of a museum! I visited early Sunday morning with my mother. We both love visiting museums and when I saw this museum whilst staying in Sheffield for a weekend we had to visit! It’s not a massive place but they have managed to get so much into the exhibitions. It was good to see all emergency services included. As a serving member of one of those services it was really nice to see the history and how they have developed into how they operate now. We noticed there was plenty of interactive activities for children too so it is a perfect activity for both adults and children. There is a discount for 999 staff on the entrance fee however the fee is reasonable anyway, especially as you are supporting a local attraction and charity. There is also a little cafe which was reasonably priced…the coffee was lovely. We throughly enjoyed it and I would recommend a trip here for sure!

My learning disabled (adult) son loves this museum. There is plenty to engage visitors who are non-verbal with sensory needs/autism so a big thumbs up from me for accessibility. Also very family-friendly is the excellent picnic space provided. I love the individual stories used to illustrate the emergency services throughout the museum. This is a real gem of a museum (with excellent, welcoming staff).
