A nice park in the middle of the runabout within MOTAT Aviation area. Just a very short walk from the tram station, MOTAT Aviation Hall, and the MOTAT parking spaces. Have a few benches hidden behind the bushes, under the aeroplane statue. Seems to be the favourite lunch time for MOTAT's staff members; it actually one of my favourite spot too.
Nice display of planes. Some are very rare to see still in good shape.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Beautiful, previously deadly planes. I felt badly for the mostly men who flew those planes into combat not knowing if they’d return.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is an amazing venue to host an event. I attended an event here recently and was really wowed by the surroundings. It was really really cool. All the aeroplanes were incredible. If you are hosting an event then definitely check this place out
Beautiful place. Must visit for the kids
Very family friendly and interesting. Staff very informative
Historic and amazing site which holds a very important snapshot of New Zealand's history. While there aren't a lot of aircraft or displays what few they do have here are quote often extremely rare. For example 1 of 4 Sutherland aircraft and the beautiful Lancaster bomber. Would be good if they improved the airflow I to this building as it can get extremely hot and makes visitors want to leave quickly rather than taking in everything. While hot, its a unique and beautiful venue with the lighting used for functions and acoustics are alot better than you would expect. Lots of parking too.
Nice selection of New Zealand civil and military aviation.Wait time10–30 min
