LIVE Day: Trams is one of our most popular events, with all things tram ready to roll!

MOTAT has an impressive collection of operational trams meticulously restored and maintained in our Tram Workshop. The fleet includes the stunning Tram 47, a double-decker affectionately known as 'Big Ben', a rare steam-powered Tram 100, and several Australian and New Zealand heritage electric trams.

Come and see these amazing machines, do a make-and-take of Tram 47 & Tram 100 or take a break and catch a ride on one of our steam trains running between Sir Keith Park & Waitītiko Station. Keep track of your rides throughout the day with our Tram Tracker cards!

There will be loads more going on around the museum including the Live Day classics such as the Lollyman, Blacksmith, Print Shop, Little Flick, live music and heaps more!

Please note: there may be filming and/or photography taken for paid advertising and social media.
