FAQs

Is there parking available?
Yes! We offer one parking space in our museum car park for the party family. Please let us know on the booking form if you need it.

Can parents stay during the party?
Absolutely! As long as the total number of people does not exceed 80, parents are welcome to stay.

Can I bring my own decorations?
Yes. Families are welcome to bring their own additional decorations and music equipment but are responsible for adding these and removing these at the end of the party.

Can we explore the museum too?
While not a set item on a birthday agenda, sometimes children are really interested in seeing our museum collection. Depending on time and staff capacity, we can offer a short tour around some parts of the museum to find favourite vehicles. To make this the most meaningful to your child, let us know their interests beforehand and we can adapt our playful tour accordingly.
