Wellington Cable Car Museum (Cable Car Museum) is located at the Botanical Garden Cable Car Station on the top of the mountain. The museum is small in size, and the audience is introduced to the past and present life of the cable car system and the basic operation of the cable car. The Wellington Cable Car departs from Lambton Pier Street, with a total length of 612 meters and a crawl of 120 meters. The operation time is five minutes. From the bustling business district, board the cable car and take a bird's-eye view of Wellington city and the vast coast. The terminal is the entrance to the top of the Wellington Botanical Garden. The cable car museum is free to visit. The museum is on the site of the earliest cable car winch. The birth and development of cable cars is the need for Wellington's economic and social development. Merchant Martin Kennedy first proposed the idea of building a cable car, convincing then UPLAND property owners to join the plan to build a new suburb near Wellington, using the cable car to facilitate residents' travel, close contact with the city center. The cable car system started in 1899 and was first operational on February 22, 1902, with more than 4,000 people on the first weekend. In 1904, the cable car added a trailer, increasing the number of guests. In 1933, electricity replaced steam as the driving force for the cable car. The cable car was designed in Switzerland after 1978 and is still running today. The museum displays two retired cable cars, which are now red and the previous carriages are very British and antique. A hoist gear originally used for the cable car to drive up to a steep slope shows how the cable car was first operated.
