Open daily, 10am - 4pm. MOTAT is set across two spacious locations, with a tramway linking the sites. A ride aboard the free heritage tram service is popular for visitors big and small.

You can buy your tickets online, or at the entrance at either of our museum locations. A Family Pass is great value at just $45 and our membership pricing gives you unlimited general admission entry for a whole year.

Located just 10 minutes drive from the Auckland CBD via the North Western Motorway, MOTAT is easy to find when you take the St Lukes Road off-ramp, Exit 6. We recommend planning your journey with Google Maps.

If you or someone you care for has accessibility requirements, you will find the information you need to plan your visit here.

We occasionally need to close certain areas to perform checks and for maintenance work. Other times we are changing exhibitions or setting up for something new. Check here for any planned closures.

Find your way around MOTAT with these maps of our two museum locations at Great North Road and Motions Road. Plus information on the short heritage tram ride between them.

We have plenty of facilities available to ensure your visit to MOTAT is comfortable and safe. There are parent rooms, first aid rooms, and plenty of spaces to enjoy some time out with your whānau.
