Wellington Tramway Museum, Transport museum in Kāpiti Coast District, New Zealand.
The Wellington Tramway Museum maintains a 2-kilometer track in Queen Elizabeth Park and houses a collection of restored trams from the 1920s and 1930s.
The museum preserves trams that operated on Wellington streets from 1878 to 1964, with the oldest surviving vehicle built by British Electric Car Company in 1903.
The museum grounds overlap with former US Marines camps from 1942-1944, connecting local transport heritage with World War II military presence in New Zealand.
Visitors can take rides on heritage trams and explore exhibits every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM, except Christmas Day.
The facility maintains several diesel buses, trolley buses, and includes a Brisbane tram currently on lease to the Tramway Historical Society of Christchurch.
