Bill Richardson Transport World
Gold Qualmark product.
The largest privately owned collection of its type, in the world. Transport World is 15,000 square feet (the size of an entire city block), with something for everyone to enjoy. It has over 300 vehicles, over 150 petrol pumps, a wearable arts display, a movie theatre, themed toilets and much more to explore.
Bill Richardson was the man behind the wheel and his legacy lives on in the museum. There is a lot of family history behind the museum and set pieces. I would recommend Guided Tours are the best way for visitors to experience the collection. Guided Tours last for one hour and then there is free exploration afterwards.
