No stands or fixed seating. Shows here are walk around displays with the museum open alongside, so you move between the cars and the aircraft at your own pace.
Facilities
The AvGas Cafe and Bar is on site and licensed, serving cooked breakfasts, cabinet food and coffee through the day with a garden bar, and stays open into Friday evening. A gift shop in the Armoury. Toilets open during cafe hours. The Kids Torpedo Park playground for children.

Getting there
At the entrance to Tauranga Airport on the Mount Maunganui side of the harbour, so the airport is the landmark and flights land next door. Parking is on the grounds and shared with motorhomes staying over, so space tightens on event days. Entry for shows is through the front gate on Jean Batten Drive.

Camping
No camping, but the site is an NZMCA Park Over Property: members can stay overnight in their motorhome for NZ$15 per vehicle per night, phoning ahead to confirm space, with toilets available during cafe hours and fewer spaces on event days.
An aviation museum, cafe and events site at the entrance to Tauranga Airport on Jean Batten Drive, Mount Maunganui, run by a trust set up to keep New Zealand's aviation history flying. The site is a group of hangars: the main Legacy Jet hangar, a restoration hangar, a flight operations hangar and an events hangar, plus an outside flight apron, the paved aircraft parking in front of the hangars, which is hired out as an outdoor event space. Car shows run here with the museum and cafe open through the day (All USA Day, the local Mustang Owners Club's American car show, is the November regular). No track: flat grounds, all walkable.
