Sydney Tramway Museum

The Sydney Tramway Museum sits on Pitt Street at Loftus, in Sydney's Sutherland Shire near the Royal National Park. A much-loved museum — Australia's oldest tramway museum — it's a genuine treat for enthusiasts and families, home to a wonderful collection of historic trams, with the chance to ride restored vintage trams and learn about Sydney's tramway history.

The appeal is that combination of fascinating tramway history and the fun of riding the trams: the collection of beautifully restored vintage trams, the heritage displays and the working tram rides make for an engaging, nostalgic day out for families, kids and transport-and-history enthusiasts. It's a charming, distinctive attraction with genuine heritage appeal.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 550 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved attraction. Opening days, admission, the tram rides and any special events vary — and the museum and tram rides often run on particular days — so it's worth checking current details before you go, particularly to confirm operating days and ride times, then enjoying the historic trams at the Sydney Tramway Museum at Loftus.
