Explore Christchurch with an All-Day Tram Pass

The Christchurch Trams offer a unique experience combining history and sightseeing. One of the best things to do in Christchurch. Family-friendly and ideal for locals and visitors alike, our beautifully-restored heritage trams are one of the city’s most iconic and best-loved attractions – and don’t forget kids go free!

Our all-day hop-on hop-off tickets allow you to visit the central city sights at your leisure and our friendly and knowledgeable drivers will keep you updated about the latest city changes in their informative live commentaries. Purchase your tickets online, from our drivers, or at our Tram Shop at stop 1.

The journey begins at Cathedral Junction and travels through Cathedral Square before passing the Avon River, Cashel Street and High Street. From here the Tram travels back through Cathedral Square and along Worcester Street, Rolleston Avenue, Armagh Street and New Regent Street before arriving back at Cathedral Junction. There are 18 stops en route and the full circuit takes approximately 50 minutes to complete.

Explore the best of the central city from our various stops: the Botanic Gardens, Tūranga, and Margaret Mahy Playground are must-visit spots for families; and the many retail stores, bars, and eateries at The Terrace, Cashel Street & Riverside Market, SALT District, Arts Centre, and New Regent Street offer fantastic shopping and dining options for all. For frequent visitors, we recommend our great-value Tram & Gondola Annual Pass – perfect for locals!

Our Tramway Restaurant departs from Cathedral Junction at 7:00pm March – October and at 7:30pm November – February. Bookings essential.

Children are classed as being 5-15 years of age and infants under 5 years of age. Up to three children may ride free of charge per paying adult, and tickets can be purchased for $5 each for additional children. Infants are free of charge.

The inside seats are cozy and secure, but please note outside seats are not weatherproof. Children must be accompanied on the Trams at all times by a paying adult. For safety reasons, we allow one adult to supervise up to five children or infants aged 15 years and under. As in any city street, you must keep children safe in traffic.

Two to three small, folded prams can be accommodated on board each of the larger trams (please note that the smaller trams are not able to accommodate folded trams so as not to block access to the aisles). Several trams also have pram hooks available to secure up to two prams to the exterior of the trams.

There are plenty of on-street and off-street parking options along the Tram route: see Christchurch City Council’s website for parking locations.

For those arriving by bus, the Christchurch Bus Interchange is a one-block walk from stops 5 and 8, and the Manchester Street Super Stop is a one-block walk from stop 1 in Cathedral Junction.
