Melbourne Tram Museum - Open Day
8 Wallen Road, Hawthorn 3122
The Melbourne Tram Museum is open to visitors on the second and fourth Saturday of every month (except for December, when it is only open on the second Saturday). Our normal opening hours are 11am to 5pm. Admission is by gold coin donation.
The museum is home to 20 fully-restored trams including:
a ‘toast-rack’ bodied V-class from 1906 – one of the first electrified trams in Melbourne
several versions of the iconic Melbourne W-class trams
the experimental X-class tram designed for lightly patronised routes
the prototype of the Z-class which marked the steady modernisation of the fleet when it was introduced in 1975.
Encounter a part of the history of Melbourne at a unique heritage location.
Group visits may be arranged outside normal opening hours. Contact [email protected] for details.
