The museum contains over 80 (mainly British) trams built between 1873 and 1982 and is set within a recreated period village containing a working pub, cafe, old-style sweetshop, and tram depots. The museum is rated 4.7 stars out of 5 on Google and has many glowing reviews.

Daniel Booth said: “One of the very best museum experiences we've encountered, to be honest it's much more than a Museum and is absolutely amazing.”

In 2023, Crich Tramway Village was bestowed a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award.

At the time, Dr Mike Galer, General Manager at Crich Tramway Village said: “We are delighted to receive this award, especially because it is our visitors who have provided us with the consistent reviews to enable us to achieve it. We hope that people continue to enjoy our attraction for many years to come.”
