Great :)

I have always loved taking the kids to Motat. They are able to explore a whole new side of their imagination with objects that are present in our lives now, yet are just a bit more historical! They are in awe of the huge trams, planes and working pumps. It is the best place to take your kids when you feel like going back in time for a wonder ride!

Free for under-5s, MOTAT offers a highly interactive presentation of New Zealand's transport, technological and social history. A fascinating experience for kids of all ages, it's a great spot to bring the kids before letting them burn off any extra energy at the neighbouring Western Springs Park.

We had a great day out at MOTAT with our playgroup. The staff were welcoming and friendly and there was a brilliant under-5 area full of science and learning-based activities. It was hard to drag the little ones away from there, but they were delighted with the train, the tram ride was a huge hit and we took home some exhausted pre-schoolers. I like the fact MOTAT has something for all ages, and we'll be back there before the end of the month as North Shore and West residents have free entry for March, yay!

Great day at MOTAT, but the highlight was the M.A.C. - so well put together, beautiful planes in a stunning hanger. Highly recommend.
