Great place to visit if you're at all interested in the history of trams in New Zealand. Beautifully restored trams run a 10 minute journey to the nearby coastal walk. And you can ride the trams as much as you'd like (rather scenic I might add). Good fun for the kids if they enjoy trains/trams. Also a neat little museum at the site.

Great place to visit looking at all the saved history of trams. Tram ride was enjoyable traveling out to beach

Very interesting museum. Great fun taking the tram to the beach and back again.

The trams are from the 1920s and 1930s and were used in Wellington. Now they restored and cared for by volunteer members of the Wellington Tramway Museum. As it's a not-for-profit incorporated society there are donation box if you wish to contribute. The museum includes more trams, old trams that need restoring, history of the trams and lots more to look around. They have a video running that explores the history which also includes black and white video footage. Open on Saturdays and Sundays, it's worth the time to visit. They have trams that run from the museum down to the beach and back - what a great idea.

Low key little museum, run by lovely volunteers who are passionate about the trams and their history. Gorgeous, well-restored trams, and a nice little ride down to the beach and back.

A fantastic destination for an interesting day out. Take a ride on the 100 year old trams that have been beautifully restored after being left for scrap. Visit the tram museum, a shed full of memories of Wellington in the 1900's. Talk to the engineers and hear their enthusiasm and enjoy their stories. Bring a picnic and explore the beach! Our family's happy place!

Great amature run museum with a ride on old tramcar to the beach and a workshop displaying a good deal of historical info on Wellington's teams and cable car as well as lots of tram memorabilia. Please visit & support the work done by this group of tram enthusiasts.

Kids loved this place! Ride the rail out to the beach and back, learn about trams at the museum, and have an ice cream in the park. A perfect day out!

This is an amazing spot. I had a nice chat with the conductor, he had great knowledge about the trams and was helpful. We took a oneway trip down after riding horses. and the surrounding areas was s pictures.

You can take a ride with the tram in Queen Elizabeth park. The kids loved it. It is not so expensive. The tram driver was so kind and patient. I asked him lots of questions about how the tram works and the use of the different handles, meters and gadgets. He even had a wealth of knowlege about the history of trams. I was amazed that the tram was built in New Zealand. I had the worng assumption it was built in UK as they invented trains. The museum is small but filled with lots of old trams. Highly recommended. Good family time ;)

Great little space, you may need to come earlier because the tram operation hour is not punctual.

(Translated) The Wellington Tramway Museum is on the edge of the vast Queen Elizabeth Park. Several trams from the early 20th century are in operation and exhibited here. For a couple of New Zealand dollars you can take a small tour. (Original) Das Wellington Tramway Museum liegt am Rand des ausgedehnten Queen Elizabeth Parks. Hier sind mehrere Straßenbahnen des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts in Betrieb und ausgestellt. Für ein paar Neuseelanddollar kann man eine kleine Rundfahrt machen.
