MOTAT is New Zealand's largest transport and technology museum of its kind and offers a fun and exciting learning experience for visitors of all ages.
The core vision is to “use New Zealand’s heritage, kiwi ingenuity, transport, technology and associated stories in a creative and interactive way to educate and inspire the innovators of tomorrow.”
Standard MOTAT policy is to allow visitors with impairments and their caregiver free entry to the Museum during standard days of operation. MOTAT is accessible by car, taxi or by public transport and you can use mobility parking at both of the MOTAT sites at Great North Road and Meola Road. Guide dogs are welcome on both sites.
You can visit MOTAT individually without prior booking. If you would like to make use of the mobility parking at MOTAT Great North we require some advanced notice by calling our friendly team on 09 815 5800 for further information. They will arrange for someone to meet you and provide parking instructions.
Mobility parking is available at both sites. Mobility parking at MOTAT Great North Road is available within the MOTAT gates and visitors will need to pre-arrange access by calling our helpful staff on 09 815 5800.
A large number of MOTAT’s public areas are accessible, but as MOTAT operates as a working museum not all areas are fully accessible. All exhibition and display spaces have power assist doors or wide entrance spaces, and access to the mezzanine at the Aviation Display Hall at MOTAT Meola Road is available by elevator.
Areas with access include exhibition and display spaces, the MOTAT Shops, Araroa Tearooms and public restroom - access to café is through the front only. Only MOTAT trams with wide doors (such as the Melbourne trams) can accommodate wheelchairs and a caregiver must be available to lift visitor onto the tram.
Mobility parking is available at both sites. Mobility parking at MOTAT Great North Road is available within the MOTAT gates and visitors will need to pre-arrange access by calling our helpful staff on 09 815 5800.
Great access for young children traveling in pushchairs.
