Melbourne Tram Museum

Unclaimed

Been wanting to visit this for a while and glad I finally was able to make it. The old tram workshop is packed with vintage trams restored beautifully giving a sense of what tram travel around Melbourne was like throughout the evolution of the Melbourne tram network. You can climb aboard all the trams and quite a few have working bells that the kids love to ding (a quiet hour would be good tho). As well as the trams themselves there are 2 exhibition rooms with information and tram and ticket related memorabilia. Climbing aboard the old trams brings back memories of travelling on these with my mum as a kid where a conductor would push through the crowded tram and get everyone a ticket. A museum well worth a visit. Only a shame that it has such limited opening days.

I have driven past here so many times but never knew what it was. Honestly it was a great experience, my 2 year old and his friend of the same age loved it. The way you can climb in and out is actually really fun! I would love to do a photo shoot here some time!

All the staffs so lovely and get so much to learn, to experience here. The park nearby is a gem too. Highly recommend

Fantastic, well preserved display of trams from the earliest ones. So interesting. Anyone who grew up in Melbourne would love to see all these old trams again - they bring back so many memories and it was wonderful to have former tramway employees there to reminisce with. The grandchildren also loved seeing and playing on all the old trams!

Had an excellent time at the Tram Museum! Was so much fun to learn about the history of the hawthorn tram depot and the Melbourne tram system in general. It was also very cool to see some of Melbourne’s historic trams in the depot as well, some of which were more than 100 years old! I happened to arrive at the same time as a free Tram Talk tour was starting and enjoyed the little tour through the depot and trams. Our guide, Klaus, excitedly took us through the history of the trams and the Melbourne tram system itself. Would highly recommend people time their visit to make the most of it! It starts on the hour every hour, and made my visit a lot of fun. Everything was preserved very well, and they even had a cool little gift shop at the end. Would highly recommend!
