MOTAT extends a warm invitation to North Shore City Council residents
From 12 October to 11 November North Shore City Council residents can look forward to free fun and interactive experiences at MOTAT - the Museum of Transport and Technology.
North Shore City 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 North Shore City 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 FlightSim 5 flight simulator," says Mr Grieve.
Some of MOTAT's latest exhibitions include ‘Sports Alive!' (opens 19 October), where visitors can learn about and experience the science and technology behind New Zealand's favourite sports, and ‘900 South - Sir Edmund Hillary and the NZ Antarctic Expedition 1956-8'
North Shore City Council residents can also enjoy MOTAT's most popular attractions, including the Tactile Dome, Mirror Maze, Challenge Zone, Voyager 1 and MOTAT's very own Blacksmith who can be seen every Tuesday and Thursday between 11am-3pm.
