It's Fathers' (and Grandfathers' Day this weekend.
Take Dad (or Grandpa) for tram rides!
school educational visits,
club days out or
vacation care excursions.
(But families and groups of friends have no need to book.)
Why not treat Dad to a memorable outing?
If he is lucky enough to be able to remember Sydney's trams, why not take him for a ride in some of them. You can do this at the Sydney Tramway Museum.
At least three different trams will be running for Fathers' Day - into the Royal National Park and to Sutherland.
If Dad is too young to remember trams, he'll enjoy discovering what he's missed.
And Mums and grandmothers are definitely allowed to come along with Dad. They were very fond of the trams.
His Senior's Card gets him in for a mere $10 for the day. Other adults pay just $15. Children at school can also enjoy unlimited rides - you'll pay just $8 each for them while pre-schoolers are free.
Family tickets? For a family of 2 adults + 2 children, the cost is just $46, additional children in the same family are free.
And if your Dad has a soft spot for railways and rail vehicles, he'll just love our trams.
Care to become a volunteer?
There's always room for more people to help us. You don't need to be a tram expert!.It's fun and it's interesting. Details
Why do we have a Sydney Tramway Museum?
For a century, trams were an important part of everyday life in Sydney, taking people to work, school, the beaches, the footy and cricket, the races, the "pictures" and even the Royal Easter Show. Wouldn't it be great to wind back the clock to the days when a fleet of 1,400 trams – more than twice as many as Melbourne has today – ran along 180 miles (about 290km) of routes?
You can... at the Sydney Tramway Museum! Jump on a built no later than the fifties. You'll also see trams from other states and overseas. In our Display Hall, see the unique prison tram used for transport between Long Bay Gaol and Darlinghurst Court House for more than 40 years.
The Sydney Tramway Museum provides a nostalgic and educational insight into the lifestyle of Sydneysiders during the 100 year period of tramway operation from 1861 to 1961, with running and restoration works-in-progress, exhibits and photos depicting the development and operation of tramways during this period.
Visitors to Sydney and those just keen to experience the past are welcome to simply call in at our advertised times for a pleasant and interesting day.
