Tramway Museum, St Kilda, SA

The tram museum has over 20 preserved electric trams. Many of these trams are on display in our two tram display buildings, or are in use on the museum tramway. Most trams on display can be accessed (excepting the driver’s compartments).

Take a tram ride or two (or more) on one of our restored trams to the St. Kilda adventure playground and return.

Adelaide had an extensive trolley bus system (rubber tyred trams) from 1937 to 1963. Our trolley bus depot displays four trolley buses and one diesel bus.

Adelaide had an extensive horse tram system which commenced in 1878 before being replaced by the electric trams from 1909.

The Museum has two horse trams on display – Adelaide & Suburban tram 18 of 1878 and Adelaide, Unley & Mitcham horse tram 15 of the 1880s. They provide an interesting ‘before and after’ display as car 18 has been restored whereas car 15 is ‘as received’.
