Great Museum!
This is a Great museum to witness the history of the cable cars in San Francisco. It’s free to get in and it’s very informative. You go down some stairs below the ground and you can witness the cables in action. Up on the main floor you can see the cables in action as well but with different pulleys. There’s a nice gift shop in here as well. There’s a nice collection of all the cable cars including the worlds oldest one which is really cool to see. I had a great time here and would recommend it to anyone coming to San Francisco who wants to learn about the cable cars.

What a neat place
Great history of the cable cars and how they work. In the middle of the museum is the actual working cables that move the cars throughout the city, you can view them from the museum or go to the observation area downstairs. They also have a gift shop with not only cable car gifts but other San Francisco items. Admission is free, street parking or you can ride the cable car to the museum. They do ask that you wear a mask while in the museum
