Great museum for kids who love cars, planes and more. Has lots of activities and cool things to play with for kids and adults.

Make sure you go on the 3rd Sunday of every month so that you can ride the train at the Aircraft display, if you are lucky you can ride in a tank as well....

MOTAT great to check out with the family.

A fun day out for the family or hang out with with friends. Take a look at our past and our future

No matter how old or young you are, or how many times you've been to MOTAT, there's always something new to see or enjoy.  Thanks MOTAT!

MOTAT is one of my favourite places to take kids, and the fact that their trams take you around the periphery of the Zoo and Western Springs Lakeside makes it even better. A sunny day can be spent without needing to jump in the car, and the buzz of a tram ride never seems to grow old.

A fantastic place to spend a day with the family. Lots of theings to see and activities to do! The Under 5 area is great and my little toddler was kept busy (while we rest) for a very long time :)

My son loves going to motat to see all the different types of cars and displays. Motat often have free entry for aucklanders from time to time so keep an eye out for that.

A huge range of all sorts of machinery to look at, to touch and to ride on. It's educational and fun for children and adults. We go at least once a month and always find something new. Military weekend is our favourite event at the moment.
