Reviews
We recently visited MOTAT with my two boys 7 & 8, and it was an amazing experience, especially for families with neurodiverse children like mine. My youngest is autistic, and I was initially nervous about the weekend crowd. However, the staff were incredibly supportive, providing noise earmuffs to help manage the noise levels. There were so many exciting things for the kids to see, touch, and play with, and the historical exhibits were fascinating. The facilities were top-notch, with toilets, eating areas, and seating available at every corner. Do wear comfortable footwear as there's a bit of walking involved to see everything. Definitely a 10/10 attraction – we’ll be back for more fun!
A glorious late May Sunday saw us at MOTAT.nnPlenty of action for the kids and as usual the Tram ride to the Aviation Hall provides some further excitement.nnLack of the cafe was annoying, but apparently temporary. There were however some pop up stalls with coffee and snacks, but if you are after something more substantive - currently no good.nnA fine day out with a steam train added in too.
I took my young lad to MOTAT. Not our first time and certainly won’t be our last! We love this place, a tremendous amount of things to look and touch. The staff were very friendly and it was tidy. A great solo artist was playing on our most recent visit which added to the wonderful atmosphere. Parking easy to find. A must visit attraction.
The first time I saw those planes in person was an amazing experience. Their history behind during the war. Some vintage cars were my favourites. Interestingly, MOTAT has a sister-train of Melbourne.
This is only about the cars and trams part. The aviation hall is reviewed seperately. This museum is o.k. but it doesn't cover the topics of Transport and Technology properly. You see assorted old cars and trucks and some old machinery. Good for kids but not good for train or car nerds.
