At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Cable Car Day is celebrated in the United States.
Cable Car Day is celebrated by the Americans, who like to know about and commemorate the first cable car line.
Cable Car Day first started in 1871.
Cable Car Day was started on the day Andrew Smith Hallidie received the US patent on cable car railways.
It is believed that Andrew got his inspiration after noticing the struggle of horses to pull cars up the steep hills of San Francisco's Jackson Street.
San Francisco's Cable Cars are protected and have been preserved as a remarkable landmark in history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, facing competition by electric streetcars, the use of cable cars as a means of transportation gradually decreased. But, due to protests and proposals from the citizens, cable cars were preserved.
The best way to celebrate Cable Car Day would be going out with your family on a trip or to the market via cable cars. Purchase the classic cable car tickets and explore the cable car routes. Ask your grandparents about their memory of cable cars. Don't forget to travel in a mini cable car in Las Vegas and have fun! Read about the history of the original line installed for cable cars.
