Kia ora friends. Our trams aren't running this weekend sorry due to issues with the Vector transformer we use. The good news is entry will be discounted by 50% because of this. If we can get them operating Sunday we certainly will! Have a happy weekend whānau.

Saturday sneak peek 👀 You’ve admired it from afar, now get up close and personal with the interior of the Solent ZK-AMO Aranui. When the Aviation Hall reopens on 20 August, you’ll get an exclusive 360-degree view of the interiors of some of our most iconic planes 🛩️

We are ready for the big reopening tomorrow 🎉 We’re especially excited for the new Police Helicopter Interactive for our visitors. You can climb inside and explore what it’s like to be a pilot in one of these!

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. We acknowledge her special relationship with #NZDF and in particular her role as Head of #NZNavy. Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family. Image: HM Queen Elizabeth II 1953 Devonport

Come Fly With Us! Yes please! The future of sustainable air travel from Gary Freedman, the founder of @electricairline at MOTAT as part of the Aviation Conversation series. I loved that the best question (of many great questions) was asked by a young school student!

Delighted to host @COMETAuckland at the Aviation Hall MOTAT, for the Participatory Science Film Festival, celebrating STEM in schools. Inspiring kōrero by Carmel Sepuloni to open.

I saw 3D printing of rockets Rocket Lab and now Penny the “Printasaurus Rex” MOTAT I’m torn - rockets or dinosaurs? They’re both WOW!

Yeah … a little moment of pride for Ena Ena Manuireva - having a voice on something that’s defined your place, people and life …

What a wild day/night. MOTAT and all our tram services, including Dockline Tram in Wynyard Quarter, are CLOSED today for safety assessments following the extreme weather experienced in Tāmaki Makaurau. We expect to be back open Sunday. We hope you and whānau are safe

MOTAT is open 10am to 3pm today. School's still out so we're continuing our That’s So Random holiday experience for a few more days. MOTOTs and the model railway need a bit more drying time so will be closed. As always, best car parking is at the Aviation Hall, 98 Motions Rd.

MOTAT is closed Wednesday 1 Feb. Transport routes are overwhelmed and flooded, and Aucklanders are being advised to avoid unnecessary travel. Our thoughts are with those significantly impacted by this weather, including our neighbours Auckland Zoo. Image: PHO-2020-19.94 MOTAT.

This International Women's Day, we look back at the women who stepped up during the Second World War to keep Auckland's essential industries such as the tramways operating while men volunteered for military service or were later conscripted. More info: ow.ly/fffK50NbtYU
