Whiteman Park is the only place in Western Australia where you can ride on a genuine vintage electric tram.
The Perth Electric Tramway Society provides a regular service over 4 kilometres of standard gauge track through picnic areas and farmland.
Trams operate between Mussel Pool and the Village at half hourly intervals, with extended weekend running times of 12pm to 4pm Saturdays and 11am to 4.30pm on Sundays and public holidays.
Note: Family and senior concessions are also available, just ask your Tram driver. Footwear must be worn at all times on Tram Rides.
