Great place to go with kids, loads of entertainment, easy to drag this out to fill the whole day. Personally for adults, I think there could be a little more information. Also, the model railway wasn't running when we were there which was a shame. Loved the tram sheds though and the old school village.

What a great museum,cheap compared to others too. Love the variety of old and new tech too. Seeing the cars and aviation was amazing! The aeroplanes are technically at a second site which is a few Kms from the other,so we enjoyed the free tram ride (it was packed)

While the first few halls were a bit boring, the Science and Technology Centre (hall 5) was really entertaining to both kids and adults. I was particularly impressed by the periodical table that lights up. The kids had so much fun charging the battery to unleash on that skewer of balls. The slide between the levels provided hours of entertainment. The food was surprisingly decent. The pies were solid and the smoked salmon bagel was better than the one I had at Best Ugly Bagels.

It was pretty good, it opens all year long except on Christmas Day. On that day there were ambulances there for people to explore the insides of the ambulances ?, also to experience CPR on plastics figures. We then explored the Science and Technology Centre, it was very nice and fun ?. We also rode the train to the Aviation Hall where there were lots of fun games to play. It was Fabulous day!!!

MOTAT is a super fun museum where you can see old trains, trams, planes, and cool inventions. You can press buttons, try things out, and even ride a real tram! It’s like a big science and transport playground where you learn while having fun.
