I love going back in time with each visit to MOTAT. It’s the perfect place to take the family for both fun and learning. From groping your way through textile tunnels to chugging along the tram track in a vintage carriage, there is something for everyone. I always come away having learnt something new!
MOTAT is brilliant! There's always something new here. I've zoomed around in the simulator, played free arcade games (during the computer game display), moved the robotic hand all over, tried to generate as much power as a solar panel, walked on stilts, read weird facts about peanut butter, learned about lifestyles during the war, seen how types of engines work - and never even made it to the aircraft display. If you haven't been yet, MOTAT is a must-see and if you have been, it's probably worth another trip. I've been about 6 times now!
