If you want to know how a cable car works, this is the place to learn. The world's first cable car rests here and with it a concise explanation of how those little cable cars go halfway to the stars. In an underground viewing area, you can look at the system's enormous cable wheels, which pull 11 miles of cable at 9.5 miles per hour. The cable cars move by clamping onto it and stop by their release. Examine closely the steel cables, gears, and pulleys that bring this city's most famous transportation to life. Don't miss the gift store.

Admission is free.
