Do I need to visit all the Christchurch attractions included in my combo ticket on the same day?

Our base station is fully wheelchair accessible, and a wheelchair is available for guests to borrow from reception. The Gondola cabins can accommodate manual wheelchairs up to 600mm wide, which is the maximum width of the cabin doorway. At the summit station, an elevator allows wheelchair users easy access to the café, observatory, and function spaces. However, please note that the Christchurch Discovery Ride is not accessible for wheelchairs.

The Christchurch Gondola ride usually lasts about 10 minutes, but at top speed, the journey can be completed in just 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

A full circuit on the Christchurch Tram takes approximately 50 minutes, but your ticket is valid for hop-on hop-off travel throughout the entire day.

Christchurch Tram Hours: 9:50am - 5pm daily. Last tram departs stop one at 4pm.

Trams run approximately every 10-15 minutes in summer and every 15-25 minutes in winter. Tickets valid for 1 calendar day.

There are currently 18 stops throughout central Christchurch. Customers can hop on and off at any stop, and our trams will pause at every stop so there is no need to alert the driver in advance that you would like to board or disembark.

If you have pre-purchased a ticket online through website, you can collect your tickets at our Booking Office at stop 1 in Cathedral Junction or from the drivers at any of our stops. You will just need to show the staff the booking confirmation and quote your booking reference (CHXXXXXX) in order to collect your tickets.

Two of Christchurch Trams are able to accommodate up to 2 manual wheelchairs on board at one time using the wheelchair hoist located in Cathedral Junction (please note that motorised wheelchairs are too heavy for the hoist to lift, and the maximum safe working load is 250kg). We recommend phoning ahead on the day to check whether wheelchair-accessible trams are operating and what time they will be departing from Cathedral Junction.

2 to 3 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.
