Downtown Wellington is very compact - just 2km in diameter, so if you'll only be exploring the downtown area the easiest way is to walk. To visit Carter Observatory or the Botanic Garden, it's just a quick (and fun!) ride up the Cable Car.  But if you're going further afield - like to the Zoo, or Zealandia, chartering a coach is probably your best bet. The main coach companies for this are GO Wellington, Intercity, and Newmans.

If you’re staying in or exploring the wider Wellington region, then the Tranz Metro trains are a great option, we’re sure the kids would love a train ride! And if you're heading over to Sommes Island or Eastbourne then you'll need The Dominion Post ferry.
