Great!

Would have loved to be able to explore the aviation area, but was told that it was closed. Otherwise it was a great experience.

Great way to spend an afternoon

We booked for a family outings with our 5 year old and 3 year old twins. Going anywhere that captivates all of them is a challenge and MOTAT delivered.Easy to find you way in and around - although be ready for a car parking challenge as MOTAT could probably do a bit more to help you find the parks. The museum itself is simple and easy to wander round with everything only a short toddle away. Good baby room as well which we needed. The exhibits are fun and generally easy for the kids to get involved with which is a boon. While the aviation halls weren’t open when we were there the tram ride is a great way of keeping the little ones amused. Staff are helpful and available. Overall a good time was had by all
