MOTAT is excited to welcome you and your whānau to enjoy their inspiring spaces, collections and exhibitions and AA Members get 20% off General Admission tickets. Simply show your AA Membership at the gate. 

A visit to MOTAT is an affordable and fun activity full of rich learning experiences for visitors young and old alike. Kiwis are known for their ingenuity and MOTAT is the place to discover how technology and innovation continues to transform and inspire our lives.

There is more to explore at MOTAT with Te Puawānanga, our new Science and Technology Centre! With three distinct spaces to explore. Tamariki can surround themselves with the magic of more science, more technology and hands-on exhibitions.

There’s a new play space for under 5s, a science space for engaging experiences, and an innovation space with everything from STEM demonstrations to collection displays. Come and discover everything this new science and technology space has to offer!

Use the MOTAT.NZ website to plan your visit.

Tech that takes off!

Would you fly without a pilot? Step into the future of flight at Autopilot, MOTAT’s newest exhibition!

See the Wisk Generation 5 Cora, an autonomous air taxi test flown in Aotearoa. Explore the latest in drone and driverless tech, from conservation to transport. Then, put on a VR headset and take a pilotless flight over Tāmaki Makaurau — no cockpit, no crew, just you and the open skies.
