The Ballarat Tramway Museum is staffed by volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation and operation of part of the former Ballarat street tramways. The Museum is open every weekend and public holiday from 11:00am to 4:00pm and most days during the Victorian school holidays.
Trams run along Wendouree Parade through the beautiful and historic Botanical Gardens. Nearby Lake Wendouree is visible for most of the journey of fifteen to twenty minutes.
A new display hall was opened in April 2022 where a representative selection of the Museum’s trams can be viewed including horse drawn Tram No 1 from 1887. Guided tours are available. There are many artefacts on display. A range of souvenirs is available for sale. Group visits can usually be arranged at any time for groups as diverse as schools, senior citizens and wedding parties (catering can be arranged).
