Wellington Cable Car

Must do in Wellington and with good reason. The ride itself is short but sweet, and the museum is nice too. Also a great shop to get some nice souvenirs.

Whether you're going up or down or both. Great way to get into the city from the botanical gardens, can purchase your ticket from there. Very in expensive.nAmazing museum at the botanical gardens. Toilet facilities, coffee shop and pharmacy as well History of perfume at nearby store.nGreat views from the botanical gardens over looking wellington city and surrounds.nWorth it.

Great way to get from the city up to the Botanic Gardens. There is a museum at the top with some very informative displays on the history of the cable car and a Cafe.

Lovely funicular that takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the Wellington commercial district up to a serene setting with museum more of a gift shop!, botanical garden and cafe. Personally I thought $12 return was pretty expensive for a very short journey but I’m sure they’ll never cease to attract punters to the top. Great coffee in the cafe but no hot food available after 3:30pm. Lots of nice walkways and ‘off piste’ pathways to explore. On the way back down I got to appreciate the ‘light show’ it the tunnels - a nice addition.

Such a fun activity and a great way to get to the Botanical Gardens and Space Place! Definitely check out the Cable Car museum at the top too, it’s free and you learn about the history of this city landmark! The view at the top isn’t too bad either:
