Our whole family loved MOTAT-our kids are 15 and 17. Our guide, Dave, made it such a wonderful experience for us. He clearly loved his job, was an expert on aviation and we learnt so many interesting facts from him. We spent 2 hours just at the Aviation Museum then took a lovely ride on the tram to the rest of the museum which we also enjoyed immensely. Great coffee in the cafe too.

Thank you for your review! We are very happy to hear your whole family enjoyed visiting MOTAT. We will pass along your praises to Dave. We hope to see you again soon.
Plenty to see and do
Not as much interaction as some other Museums
Enjoyed the tram ride too
Reasonably priced

Hi there, xmsltd. Thank you for you review. We are pleased you enjoyed your time at MOTAT, including the tram ride.
We went there with our two grandsons.
Lots to see and do to keep the attention of the boys at their peak.
Well worth a visit.

Hi there, baywhey. Thank you for your amazing review on your visit to MOTAT. We are thrilled to hear that you had an incredible day out with your family and enjoyed the cafe too. We offer new and exciting experiences every month, so we hope to see you again at MOTAT soon.
I caught a bus from the CBD which virtually took me to the gate of MOTAT. It is split into two large sites MOTAT 1 and MOTAT2 and you catch an old tram to get from one to the other. MOTAT1 is a collection of large warehouses/sheds with various motor related exhibits (eg cars, trams, steam pumps). Shed 1 was my favourite which contained interesting history of technology. MOTAT 2 is a massive aircraft hanger with some pretty awesome planes if that ticks your boxes. Some of the exhibits were closed the day I visited but none-the-less it was a great day especially if you have children as there are lots of interactive displays. 20% discount with AA which I used.

Thanks greatly for your review and to hear you and your family had a fun and educational day out at MOTAT. We offer new and exciting experiences every month and on the weekends, so we hope to see you again at MOTAT soon.
Visit MOTAT, a great day out for both the young and old. View lots of transport and technology options. At one end you have a huge hanger of planes and we were lucky to see the workshop in full swing doing restorations for future exhibits. Connected by a tram with a real life ticket snapper which was awesome. We then reached the other end where there were trams, printing presses, technology and lots of interactive exhibits. Definitely a great day and you could be lost there for the whole day. There is also free parking and buses that drop you off right near the entry.


Thanks so much for your outstanding review! We always love to hear the stories of the whole family having a great day out at MOTAT. We offer new and exciting experiences every month and in the weekends, so we hope to see you again at MOTAT soon.
