When did you last take a ride on the iconic cable car? This year we celebrate 110 years of service, so take the opportunity or reacquainting yourself with one of Wellington's most popular attractions for just a gold coin donation this Wellington Open Day, Sunday 27 May.  You can also pop into the Cable Car Museum at the top to see the original winding room in action - and for a gold coin guess how many cable cars are in the jar to win prizes!

One of Wellington's most popular tourist attractions, the cable car runs from Lambton Quay, tunnels under the corporate towers of The Terrace and emerges in Kelburn.

The ride continues past Kelburn Park and the Victoria University to the top of Upland Road, where the Lookout, Carter Observatory, Planetarium and Cable Car Museum are located. The view from the lookout takes in the city's central business district and out across the harbour to the Hutt Valley, Eastbourne and Mt. Victoria. Visitors can take a return trip from the city, or walk back down through the gardens and historic Bolton Street cemetery, emerging across the road from Parliament.

Open hours: 
Cars run every 10 minutes, Monday to Friday, 7am – 10pm. Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays, 9am – 10pm.
Closed Chrismas Day.
