Booking & Arrival
If you’re planning on visiting the museum, we recommend pre-booking your tickets via the ticket link at the top of the website. Although you can still pay on the day, pre-booking allows us to monitor the number of visitors on-site to ensure your visit is as safe and enjoyable as possible.
If you also want to explore Ulster Folk Museum on the same day, you’ll need to purchase a separate ticket at ulsterfolkmuseum.org. The museums now operate as two separate museums, therefore we no longer offer a dual ticket for Ulster Transport Museum and Ulster Folk Museum.
We recommend you give yourself two hours at each museum for the most memorable time at both.
Group bookings of up to 15 people can be made online. Group bookings of 15 people or more will receive a 10% discount as well. For bookings over 15 people, please email us.
For Education and School group booking enquiries, please fill in our online booking form to submit your request. Due to site capacity restrictions, we cannot accept school bookings without prior arrangement.
You can now come into the museum from the coastal path, giving visitors more reason to spend more time exploring the area. The new gateway to the path will be opened and closed daily in line with museum opening hours.
While exploring the outdoor grounds of the museum is free, if you want to access the gallery buildings, you have to pay in. There is a new admission point in our B Galleries which is the first building you'll come to when you come onto the site from the coastal path.
Summer hours: 1st March - 30th September, open Tuesday - Sunday 10:00-17:00.
Winter hours: 1st October - 28th February, open Tuesday - Friday 10:00-16:00 and on weekends Saturday - Sunday 11:00-16:00.
Ulster Transport Museum has two gallery buildings - A Galleries & B Galleries. Entry to both galleries is included in the cost of your ticket while exploring outdoors is free.
