The Museum of Transport and Technology sits in the Te Wai Ōrea Western Springs Precinct, about ten minutes' drive from the Auckland CBD. It has two sites close together, the Aviation Hall on Motions Road and the Great North Road site, and a free heritage tram runs between them. The collection has more than 300,000 items on transport, technology and social history, and the museum calls itself a science, technology and innovation museum.
It is open daily from 10am to 4pm, with the last entry at 3:30pm, and on all public holidays except Christmas Day. Tickets can be bought online or at either entrance. A family pass for two adults and up to four children is $45 as at 2026. Food and drink are sold at the wharekai café, run by Raha Espresso Bar. Many public spaces are accessible, but the grounds have varied terrain, and the heritage trams are not accessible to wheelchair users. Events in the last weeks of October include a Blacksmith Workshop on 1 October and LIVE Day: Flying on 24 to 26 October 2026.
