About Museum of Transport and Technology

This place is unmissable for any motor fanatic. One of Auckland’s best value attractions, a visit to this place is as much fun as it is educational. The museum tells the complete story of the history and development of NZ transport and technology over centuries. It is not only a powerhouse of knowledge but also entertains you in its own unique way. The Aviation Display Hall holds some truly interesting displays. Find out about the iconic military and civil aircrafts, or get hands-on with science and technology. A visit to the original Pump house, or a walk through the historic village is a real treat to any die-hard history fan.  The heritage tram ride is sure to add more sparkle to the already fun-filled day-out.

You can also add the MOTAT magic to your next event, function or wedding by renting our unique spaces with great facilities.
