Wellington Tramway Museum
- Wellington Tramway Museum
The Wellington Tramway Museum is at Queen Elizabeth Park, near the overbridge at McKay’s Crossing between Paekakariki and Paraparaumu, and has been operating trams there since 1965. The museum is 45 km from Wellington.
The museum has nearly 4 km of track in Queen Elizabeth Park, and four operational trams from the closed Wellington system, two double-saloons and two single-saloon Fiducias. There is also one tram being restored and four in storage, plus a Brisbane tram and some trolley-buses and tram bodies.
The museum is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4.30pm, and on public holidays except for Christmas day. After Christmas the museum opens daily from Boxing Day (26 December) to Wellington Anniversary Day in late January (see website).
