Wellington - Tramway Museum

The Tramway Museum in Elizabeth Park, Paekakariki (45km north of the city center on Highway 1), is a popular attraction at weekends. Here tramcars that once ran along Lambton Quay carry passengers on nostalgic trips to the Memorial Gates at McKay's Crossing. The gates commemorate the 2nd U.S. Marine Division that was stationed here during the second world war.
