Awesome place, so many things to look at. Highly recommend!

We had a free guided tour. Older gentlemen gave us a tour. Very interesting. The tribute to the military was honorable/respectful. The vision of Mr Cole and the community around Bangor the state of Maine is something they can be so proud of.

Great place to see all old automotives. It was unbelievable all these existed in olden times.

This place was amazing!! I could have spent hours examining all of the transportation apparatus in here... starting in 1917 to 1992. Just amazing!! And the staff was so friendly and helpful

5 stars is not enough stars for the great experience we had today. Be sure to ask for a scavenger hunt for kiddos. Volunteers were awesome. Thank you

Very clean with an impressive line up of all kinds of vehicles. Staff was very friendly and eager to answer any questions and give information. My three year old loved it!

I wasn’t sure what to expect and was totally amazed. The museum has some incredible displays of trains, vintage cars, trucks, fire engines, buggies, toys and more. The displays from WWII were informative and interesting. The staff is friendly and informative. Well worth a stop.

We were visiting Bangor and accidentally stumbled upon the museum. It has been the highlight of our visit to Maine thusfar! There is an absolute treasure trove of history here! Plan on spending several hours at this excellent display of transportation history.

As a veteran, seeing the memorials outside was welcoming. I didnt go inside to tour yet. Waiting to take my grandchildren.

Great spot to learn about the early days of Maine and Bangor. They have a great collection of vehicles and their history, also few locomotives but most interesting is how they showcase them with all the details, like they were just in use. There is also a section about Mainers in the Grwat Wars. Truly a gem, dont overlook it! and donate if you can

Such a cool place so many things to see for a flashback In time. Definitely plan on going again next time were there

This is a great place to give kids a local history lesson. Volunteers are available to answer questions and give short stories about the enormous amount of things to be seen here. We will be back soon.

Thank you Cole family for preserving part of the land transportation history!

What a great place! My son and I always visit when where in town.My favorites are the old plow trucks.

All sorts of great treasure to be looked at here!

Great museum with very informative signage and helpful staff. Check the wall near the entrance for information on how the museum was built and historical photos of some of the equipment on display. Small gift shop but the items are not unreasonably priced. Some free informative booklets and postcards are offered. Well worth a visit.

It was amazing to see tank in realityQuick place to visit.

Great history encased with interactive entertainment and actual antiquity

Lots to see! Very nice place to visit, friendly people. We had a GREAT time!

Rainy day in Bangor? Great activity undercover, lots of parking, immense exhibition. Absolute must for transport and history enthusiasts.

A lot of history packed into a building. Definitely a good find for a dreary day!

Amazing, great place! Recommended absolutely!

Wonderful place. A must see. Well worth a visit

If you like machines or have a child who likes machines, this is a great place to go. Lots of great stuff to see and some things you can climb on. They have some gift shop type toys at the entrance.

Such a wonderful experience. Only adults pay and vets get a special gift

This place is amazing. Anyone that likes vehicles must see this museum. Incredible collection of snowplowing equipment. Motorcycles, Cars. Train engine and train cars. Military vehicles and of course Coles trucking vehicles. Including a million miles truck. And the people that run the place are just as amazing. I spent almost 4 hours walking thru the museum. And could have spent the whole day. I had a bit of a tour guide. Veteran Austin Carter. He introduced me to Galen Coles. Both amazing people. Not sure what the regular price is, but the senior price is $5.00 it would still be a great deal no matter what the price of admission was

If you never grew up - this is the place for you. You can learn with so much fun about the whills transportation hostory.

An amazing family place to visit. Learning experience for all. Wonderful atmosphere. You can spend a half day there easily. Been there a few times and saw something I didnt see on the previous visit. This is a place to go if you want a family day or a couples day out. Its worth the visit.

So cool and cheap

Very nice selection of old and older vehicles, in a compact space. An hour is probably enough to view everything in there. There are some videos as well, which could take an extra hour. Entrance fees are reasonable.

Wide range of interesting pieces.

This museum is beautiful and very well organized. It is staffed mainly through volunteers who are excited to show off the exhibits. The tour guides were happy to show them around. I have brought my kids (5 and 6) many times. The first time was at just over a year old. They love it! We always bring a picnic lunch to have out on the covered bridge.

Staff made the trip worth itRainy Mothers day in Bangor ended with a wild idea to check out that tank place we drive by every day.Inside we could not have prepared ourselves for the magic inside, the staff. Everyone in my caravan took an activity and it was 5 hours of find this and that. My mother took the hardest one which was numbers, by the end she had 3 staff members helping her find the hidden objects and eventually the 3rd caved in and went to ask his wife at the front desk for the answer key in the scavenger hunt. The man was so nice he bought my mother a coffee because he enjoyed his time with her running around the museum. Absolutely fantastic.Fun for all ages, and i do mean all ages. even the teenagers, young adults, special needs adult and the parents had a ball.Only tip: Bring a jacket, the AC was running high.

Very nice museum. So educational. People were very nice n veryHelpful

Really cool museum, free for 18 under.

Quite the surprise, worth the time

Excellent collection of vehicles and history. They have scavenger hunts, where you look for other of a specific type across the museum, like how ornaments or signs. Very well managed and maintained.

Nice place to take kids to learn about different transportations plus they have some memorials here my son enjoyed this place 20 yrs ago

I have been here multiple times throughout my life and I always learn something new. Ive always felt a very personal connection with the Museum. Highly highly recommended.

Grand place to visit and really interesting with varying themes about transportation through the years.

It was a really nice place with friendly staff. Our kids loved it and didnt want to leave. It was free for kids 19 and under and only 7 dollars per adult.

A great collection of American and Maine vehicles, lots interesting history, and enough interactive stuff to still make it interesting for kids!

An interesting opportunity for youth to interact with veterans and learn about local transportation history

Extensive collection from all transportation elements and a first rate display of all. Very well kept up.

What a wonderful transportation museum!! So much care has gone into the creation and displays here. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

I went as a chaperone with one of my children. I have since gone back on my own a few times to see the displays I missed on trips past. The guides are very informative and pleasent. I enjoy it every time I go. Cant wait to go again this spring when they reopen.

Great place for learning adventures. My son loves going there.

The concept of the museum is great, and our son loved seeing all of the cars, trucks and trains. Not as much of a hands on experience for him as he and us would have liked, but he still thought it was neat.

This is a little gem. Good for the young and old. Such awesome history to learn about. :-)

Always a great visit! So many awesome machines!

The memorial and the grounds are beautiful we arrived at 4:25 to take some photos and examine the memorial the gentleman who works in the museum stomped out shut down the bridge the covered bridge and then put ropes up across the parking lot at only 430 when the museum didn’t close till five he said nothing to us and made us feel extremely uncomfortable to the point that we wanted to leave not realizing that nothing is closed until 5 PM extremely rude totally uncalled for

A tremendous opportunity to take a step back into history, kids really love it!

Very enjoyable. Good variety of vehicles. Especially liked the snow removal and transportation equipment.

Outstanding, cant say enough good things about it. Were spent the morning, went to lunch then back and stayed until closing. Would do it again.

I really loved the information and the antiques in there. I hope you can have a good time just as I did

Beautiful museum, very well kept. If you have small children (2-5) I recommend not going. We felt very unwelcomed, and followed around by the docent, reminded of the rules 3 different times. This is more of an older familys stop even though the adverts say children under 19 are free, they probably prefer children 10 and up.

Great museum we spent 5 hours and learned new details about many types of transportation and the Cole family

Business was closed for the season. Must check their schedule before making the trip. We were in the area and stopped by to see the exterior military vehicles and memorial.

Website & Google museum hours stated they were open. Drove for a hour only to find out they are closed till May 2020.

On a school tour our, students met with and interviewed veterans. They learned a lot from the experience. The tour of the museum was conducted by a veteran and would be interesting to anyone with an interest in history, especially an interest in the history of transportation.

One of the more eclectic museums in the area of variety of vintage vehicles from all genres as well as some heartfelt memorials on the exterior Vietnam, World War 1 and 2, women in the military and Korean

A great trip back in time to the early days of all types of transportation. A must see for children and adults.

Good example of times gone by, lots of equipment, autos and trains to check out. Very affordable, plan to spend a few hours.

Great museum learned a lot could go back and learn more.

We spent about 2 hours here. Could have stayed much longer. Trains, trucks, plows, farming, delivery, bicycles. Well displayed and described. Loved the station house. My husband is already planning his return visit.

So much to see!! It was a ton of fun and would live to go again! Very inexpensive and so much to learn

Very impressive

When you come to Maine. Try to visit Cole Transportation Museum. Was a great experience.

You see and learn about things that you cant see anywhere else from wooden snow rollers and wooden plows to baby carriages on sleds and giant train cars.

Under priced for the value this place gave. Definitely requires more than one visit to fully take it in. The scavenger hunt are great for all ages

Be sure to visit you wont be disappointed,

Great museum, they even figured out what baby junior was.

Its packed with vehicles and contraptions of all descriptions. Its great that theyve saved all this stuff. We didnt have a lot of time, so give yourself some time to listen to all the audio stuff and read about everything. Its definitely a great place to take school children to learn about history.

Very educational and properly honors their soldiers.

Everyone loves this place from 2 years old to 102!

Fine

Great place to spend a couple of hours at.

Great place to go, lots of history to see.

Always enjoyed seeing the memorials to wars gone by. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we arrived but even just walking the area seeing the monuments on the well care for grounds made it a terrific visit. Easily noticeable from the road.

Its like watching American Graffiti with snowplows...I found myself often wondering why our modern vehicles couldnt have the classic styling of some of the cars that are on display. Patriotism runs deep at the Cole Land Transportation Museum, its founder having been a veteran of WWII. I found it somewhat amusing that his wifes Mercedes was on display...a testament to how much that vehicle likely cost him! ;-) A wonderful and enchanting experience that smelled an awful lot like a bunch of tires...

So much great detail

A great stop right off the Interstate, it provides a nice place to walk and stretch. The memorials are well kept and interesting to walk around. Inside the Cole Museum, there is a wealth of historical vehicles and equipment. It is worth an hour to stop and explore.

Great place for a rainy day or a sunny day.

A hidden gem. So much information about Maine in the first half of the 20th century, its like a window into the lives of working people then. Will definitely be back

Okay, if you like that sort of thing.

Its a good stop on the way to bar harbor for kids to walk an learn

This is a really great museum. They have so many different things related to transportation in here to see. It was very quiet the day we went so we had the entire place to ourselves. The ederly couple at the admission booth were so sweet and kind to us, you could tell they adored children. Being a gear head I could spend the better part of a day at this place. Next time Im in the area I will be back to visit for sure!!

My Girls and I Loved this place. Its Awesome, Cheap, and Provides so much more than just history. Theres much to be seen under Mr. Coles Roof. He has such an awesome collection of toys. The Coolest part is a Real Train the kids can climb on and imagine being a conductor. That was my favorite part of the Cole Museum Experience.

Really a cool place . Very well laid out . You will need at least an hour . Vets get a discount

Had a blast at the cole Land transport ..take your time and read, watch the video.Best of luck with your collection.

Like big trucks and trains? Want to learn the history of transportation in Maine? Want to learn about military history? This is the place to visit! Great for all ages.

Best educational museum ever. The volunteer tour guides are so helpful!

I went here on a field trip with my class and absolutely loved it

Super cool place with fun guides. Field trip went awesome.

Grear place to go highly recommend

This is an Awesome well put together museum. We went in July and was very impressed with the selection of items on display. I would rate this museum as one of the best that I have seen.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Casual stroll through transportation history.

Incredible and diverse collection. One day is not enough time to see it thoroughly.

A most interesting and educational collection, as well as a great value. A real semi-hidden treasure!

Great time
