Great experience and was fun for our boys (3, 3 & 5) but would probably be more appreciated when they are 5, 5 & 7. Planes at MOTAT 2 were awesome, shame you can't climb in them. Limited play area there for kids. Free parking there and Free Tram to Zoo & MOTAT 1 was primo. Just check return times etc as last tram departs MOTAT 1 4pm, past zoo 4:05...but check first. Fun day out at M2 & M1 then Zoo.

This place was excellent & marvelous,today I enjoyed a lot. sense of place is when people feel a longing of belonging towards a place or a city they are familiar with. When people visit a place for the first time, there is a feeling of anxiety and excitement where they tend to explore their surroundings for the first time. If they enjoy the place and it has led to a positive emotion, then they will re-visit or return to the place. This sense of returning to the place frequently and having that deep connection with the place makes the ‘space’ become a ‘place’ of meaning and connection. The particular place whether it be a public space or an office building, if it has led to a positive consequence, then people will return, leading to a sense of place. This is particularly important in public spaces and outdoor space. If the planners and architects create a place of belonging and an ambience where people can feel comfortable and convivial, be it the artwork or the fountain or the seating or the footpath or the grass area or the safe feeling one feels in the public space, the architecture of the space contributes to a sense of place.

Fantastic place for toddlers, always something to entertain them that is extra to the usual exhibits. The trams are wonderful and the staff and volunteers are excellent. Also good on a rainy day because most things are under cover. The special event days are great but get very busy. Highly recommend the MOTAT Mates family pass.

Awesome place to go with very fair admission charges. Tram is great. Good to see and learn about transportation and technology. Thinking of getting a family annual pass

My kids had a lot of fun with the interactive games. Lots to learn and read with all the history that this museum has! Parked at MOTAT 2 as that's the more spacious lot, rode the tram (for free), had a stop over to the auckland zoo (if this was where you're heading to), then onwards to MOTAT 1. Staff are so friendly and all smiles! On the other hand, the place needs more upgrade and update too!

The museum has a wonderful collection of antique planes and they show them nicely at their second location. There is a large collection of tram cars and early autos and quite a bit on trains. It is a large place, and it is easy to spend an entire day here. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the museum.

Great maintenance on the desplay. Great to see they are still upgrading the properties and ensuring they kerp up to date with the past. Great for family day out and if it is raining you won't miss a thing. Love the past and how they showcase it

Definitely worth going, especially for the annual Christmas lights. When they run the machinery, it’s pretty cool, and it’s right next to the zoo, so why not make a day of it? There’s also a vintage-looking tram for the kids (or adults, no judgment) to ride on.
