Founded in 1964, the Museum of Transport and Technology stands as an invaluable expression of New Zealand’s technological ingenuity. Hailing as one of the popular institutions in the country, the Auckland transport museum will take visitors on an interactive journey through the many chapters of New Zealand’s history.

An enthralling adventure, travellers to the museum will be amidst a captivating atmosphere, unbridled by the remarkable nature of New Zealand’s technological innovations. Ideal for a family outing, it is considered to be among the favourite family attractions in Auckland, providing an exceptional experience for all ages.

Flaunting over 300,000 items, the Museum of Transport and Technology showcases an array of innovations that have helped shape the culture of New Zealand. Its most outstanding feature is its extensive collection of transportation mediums. Visually stimulating, the collection in the museum ranges from aircrafts, railways and trams to buses, carriages and trolleys. Bound to educate and amuse the visitors will be its myriad of entertaining exhibits such as Mirror Maze and the Tactile Dome. Prepare to be stunned by the displays and relive the epic moments when World War II planes existed or hop aboard a tram and traverse through the 40 acre-site. A worthy visit for history buffs, will be strolling around the Victorian Village and marvelling at its wealth of fascinating sights.

Located at two different sites, the Museum of Transport and Technology can be found on Meola Road and Great North Road. A fascinating journey will be travelling between the sites, where a historic tram service transports visitors from one site to another.
