Current Closures and Maintenance

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.

Where possible, we try to schedule maintenance work during quieter periods to minimise disruption to visitors. We apologise for any inconvenience to your plans.

CURRENT CLOSURES: 

  • Western Springs Tramway upgrade

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please be aware that from 10 February to 10 April essential upgrade works will take place on the tramway between MOTAT Great North Road and the Aviation Hall on Motions Road. You will still be able to ride a tram every day during the works programme, but the route will be shorter and trams won’t go all the way to the Aviation Hall. Trams will travel from Great North Road to the tram stop outside the zoo and back.

    An alternative bus services will operate on weekends (SAT&SUN) and public holidays.

    See here for more details.
