Wellington Cable Car Museum
Visitor activity
Located just a few metres from the cable car’s upper terminus and from a lookout with spectacular views over Wellington, this museum tells the story of the country’s only remaining public cable car system. Visit us to catch up on the service’s colourful history, marvel at the machinery in the old winding room or climb aboard one of the old grip cars.
The museum shop stocks a great selection of Wellington and New Zealand gifts and souvenirs as well as a range of specialist transport books, DVDs and models.
The Wellington Cable Car Museum has Qualmark endorsed visitor activity status and was the 2006 and 2007 Tourism Industry award winner for visitor activities and attractions: culture and heritage tourism.
