MOTAT Aviation Hall
INCLUDED IN GENERAL ADMISSION
Opening 20 August, the MOTAT Aviation Hall is a multi-award-winning space which hosts a large collection of recreational, military, topdressing, and commercial aircraft.
The collection celebrates the evolution of New Zealand aviation since February 1911 when Vivian Walsh achieved sustained and controlled flight in a British Howard Wright biplane.
Alongside our extensive aviation collection, the Aviation Hall offers
- digital storytelling of historical aviation footage and interviews
- 360 degree photography of collection cockpits
- Amazing New Zealand Police helicopter interactive - great for kids!
Other highlights include the Solent and Sunderland Flying Boats and the Lancaster bomber.
With a new 155 space carpark right outside the door, and heritage trams to take you around Western Springs, it's never been easier, or more exciting, to visit MOTAT.
