Kelburn Cable Car

Fodor's Review:

The Swiss-built funicular railway makes a short but sharp climb to Kelburn Terminal, from which there are great views across parks and city buildings to Port Nicholson. Sit on the left side during the six-minute journey for the best scenery. A small Cable Car Museum is situated at the top in the old winding house with a display of restored former cable cars (entry is free).

  • Cost: $ 2.50 each way; $4.50 round-trip
  • Open: Departures about every 10 mins, weekdays 7AM-10PM, weekends 9AM-10PM

Nice, short ride for good view.
Arrives at top of botanic garden, so can walk back to city through garden. Not much else at top.
