Why it's worth checking out

The Sydney Bus Museum sits on Derbyshire Road at Leichhardt, in Sydney's inner west. A dedicated museum celebrating the city's public transport history, it's a wonderful spot for transport enthusiasts and families alike — showcasing a collection of beautifully preserved historic buses and memorabilia that tell the story of Sydney's bus network through the decades.

The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage and a fascinating collection: you can see vintage buses up close, learn about the history of the city's transport, and on some occasions even take a ride aboard the heritage fleet. It's an engaging, family-friendly day out, especially for anyone who loves buses, transport history or a hands-on look at the past.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. The museum typically opens on selected days, and opening times, admission and any special running days or rides vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly to confirm opening days and any heritage-bus rides — while looking forward to exploring Sydney's transport history at Leichhardt.
