MOTAT is a science, technology and transport museum at Western Springs, and it has more than 300,000 items in its collection, from aircraft and jetpacks to historic travel objects and a heritage tram. This listing is for the Lower Exhibition Hall, one of the two MOTAT sites, which sit close together in the Western Springs precinct. The Aviation Hall is on Motions Road and the Great North Road site is on Great North Road, and a free tram runs between them. The museum is open daily from 10am to 4pm, with last entry at 3:30pm, and it opens on public holidays except Christmas Day. A family pass is $45 as at 2026 for two adults and up to four children. Tickets can be bought online or at either entrance. The café is run by Raha Espresso Bar. Many areas are wheelchair accessible, but the heritage trams are not. A LIVE Day on flying runs from 24 to 26 October 2026. Our pick in Western Springs for a family day with planes, trams and a lot to touch.
