Tiny, informative, fun, and with the smell of axle grease floating up from the actual cable car powerhouse that this little mezzanine-museum overlooks. Bring field glasses; watching the grease jockies working on cable car workings, is the best part. Second best part is the gift shop, my friends worldwide love cable car gifties!
