MOTAT

Spread across 40 acres and two sites, MOTAT is New Zealand’s largest museum dedicated to transport and technology, offering an exciting and interactive learning experience for all ages. Using Kiwi ingenuity, heritage, and hands-on displays, MOTAT brings the stories of our past to life while inspiring the innovators of tomorrow. 

With ever-changing exhibitions, school holiday programmes, unique events, and immersive activities, it’s a top spot for a family day out. Explore New Zealand’s aviation, energy, communications, rail, road transport, tramways, and defence history—from the 1800s to the present—often with the chance to ride heritage trams between sites.
