MOTAT is tailor-made for technology, science, and transport nuts of all ages.

MOTAT runs children’s programs every school holiday, making it a great place to take the kids during those two weeks.

Expect to spend about four hours exploring both sites.

Automobile enthusiasts can see the museum’s old vehicles get restored every Wednesday and Sunday at the Road Transport Workshop.

Refuel at the on-site Araroa Tearooms and Oriel’s Ice Cream Partner.

If you’re going to the Auckland Zoo next, MOTAT’s tram can drop you off right at the zoo entrance.

Most of MOTAT is accessible to wheelchair users; contact the museum if you’re uncertain of any areas.
