MOTAT extends a warm invitation to
Rodney District Council residents
From Monday 1 to Friday 19 March, Rodney District Council residents can look forward to free fun and interactive experiences at MOTAT - the Museum of Transport and Technology.
Rodney District Council residents can gain free entry to MOTAT by presenting vouchers that will appear in local papers throughout the month, flyers available at local libraries, or displaying their rates bill or proof of address.
MOTAT Operations Manager, Derek Grieve, says that MOTAT prides itself on offering exciting and fun exhibitions and displays that are popular all year round - rain or shine.
"We want to show the people of Rodney District that MOTAT has something for every member of the family, whether it's mum or dad interested in the history of aviation and transport, or the kids who can't wait to have a go at the controls of our FlightSim5 flight simulator," says Mr Grieve.
Some of MOTAT's latest exhibitions include ‘While You Were Away' where visitors can step into the shoes of those left behind to protect New Zealand's shores during WWI and WWII, and ‘900 South - Sir Edmund Hillary and the NZ Antarctic Expedition 1956-8'.
Rodney District Council residents can also enjoy MOTAT's most popular attractions, including the Tactile Dome, Mirror Maze, Challenge Zone, Voyager1 and MOTAT's very own Blacksmith who can be seen every Tuesday and Thursday between 11am-3pm.
