Cable Car Museum
-
This brick, warehouse-like structure houses the nuts and bolts machinery that keeps the entire cable car system operating. Don’t miss a look downstairs at the giant, spool-like sheaves winding the fat cables round and round.

This is an absolute must stop. First of all, it's free. And in a pricey city, that's a plus. It's educational, without being boring.
