Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the collection?
Our museum is 15,000 sqm – a whole city block! Luckily, there are plenty of spots to take a break. If you have any mobility requirements, get in touch to chat about how we can help.
How long will I spend here?
Allow at least two hours: but be prepared to want to spend the whole day exploring!
Can I come in and out on the day I visit?
Absolutely. Our on-site café is the perfect spot to grab a yummy bite before round two.
Can I take photos?
We love checking out our guest snaps! Don’t forget to share them on social media. Our only restriction is that taking photos for commercial use is prohibited. If you do want to film at Transport World, please get in touch with our team.
Can I come back tomorrow if I haven’t seen it all?
Tickets are for one-day admission only. But we love seeing visitors return! If you visit Invercargill regularly check out our Local Passes, which give you unlimited access for a whole year.
Can I bring my dog in?
Sorry, furry friends have to stay at home. However, support animals are very welcome.
How cold is it in the collection? Do I need a jacket?
We breed them tough here in Invercargill: but even locals like to bring a jacket. At 15,000 sqm our collection is pretty tricky to keep warm year-round. Our top tips? Wear layers that are easy to take off on and on. There are heated spots throughout the collection too.
