pennsylvania trolley museum

Takes you back to the days of the streetcars. Those of you who never had the experience to ride in a street car, now you can experience. It is not a very long ride but my grandkids thought it was a fun outing

CharmingYou feel as if you are part of history and can connect with yourancestors...just wonderful.

super short train ride and to much history talking.. kids can't stand that long and listen to that.. they wanna see the trolleys and ride them...

We visited with our son & 2 young grandkids. There was mostly families with young kids. They trolley ride is fun. But when you get off to look at the trolleys, we wish that they gave you a few minutes to look around yourself. Not just having the conductor tell you about a few of the trolleys. There was so much more to see!

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is a fascinating place to spend a few hours. The ride on the trolley is fun for the whole family, there is a lot of historical information in the education building, and the collection of different trolley cars is first rate. The people who talk to you are very knowledgeable and they are the ones who spend their time restoring the cars to operating condition. A trip back in time for the older generation and lots of fun for everyone.

Brilliant! Informative and the trip on the trolley car took us back to our childhood.Fascinating to see the impact and change it made on society and the way we lived. The people at the museum have a real passion for their subject without making it boring or too intense.So glad we found it.

This was a very interesting place they had so many trolleys and different kind of rail cars and the guide was very interesting knew everything toke time and avswered everyones questions.

This place is a lot of fun - they run trolleys all day, with departures every 20 minutes. Your ticket is good all day, so you can ride as many times as you want. The museum with their collection of old trolley cars is very interesting.

Great place to spend 3+ hours without breaking the bank ! Huge, much larger than I ever expected Trolley Museum that you ride a ......trolley....to get to. Very nice guides available to explain the various trolleys. Children (and adults) are able to climb on many of the museum trolleys. After that, it's a trolley ride thru the countryside for a few miles, back to the visitors center. This is a great trip back in time for young and old alike.

We were looking for something to do on our way to Pittsburgh & found this museum. Got to ride an actual trolley from days gone by & hear a lot of interesting stories for a very knowledgeable volunteer. They have an outstanding collection of trolleys from different time periods & the stories behind them were fun as well as educational. Fascinating place. Well worth your time!

This was a unexpected surprise. I was really fascinated by the museum and all the cars I saw there. I especially enjoyed the trolley ride. The staff really enjoyed thier job and the trolley drivers were really knowledgeable. They have trolley's going back to the horse drawn era. Some of these old trolley are just amazing to look at and touch. The workmanship that went into them is amazing.

Trollys and light urban rail cars from 1870 to 1988 are on display. The tour guids are very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the light urban rail cars. There are trollys on display that have been featured in some movies. There is a short trolly ride to the County Park that is always fun. There are many seasonal events such as the Haunted Trolly Ride. It is fun for the transportation history buff and fun for families. They even have Trolly Birthday parties and other events for groups.

This was quite a charming gem of place to visit while we were staying in Washington PA for the Tanger Outlets and Meadows Racetrack and Casino. It was a close drive and worth the trip. There is a little museum with a movie and other items indoors along with a cute gift shop. You get to actually ride on a real trolley with an excellent, informed, trolley driver and guide. Then you get to walk through a large 'outbuilding' to see the many trolley cars on display indoors with the same wonderful tour guide who seemed to live and breathe trolleys and could answer any question possible! It was such an informative visit about something I knew absolutely nothing about. Such a neat blast from the past. I'd recommend it to any couple, older or younger and/or any family with children 10 and up!

Had a great time field tripping here. There are picnic tables for you to be able to eat your lunch. Not a lot of share but the kids loved it!!!!! Everyone was really nice!

This was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed the experience because that's what it was. You actually get to ride the trolley!! It takes you to the garage that houses all the old trolleys and then to the fair grounds so you get to ride the trolley twice. There is a guided tour at the garage that is about 20 minutes. If you have really young active kids this part will be a little too long for them but older kids should enjoy the tour. But for the younger kids there is plenty of space to run around outside and a little train for photo ops. The movie inside is a must see. I learned all kinds of cool stuff from it. And they have a nice gift shop. All in all a very good time and worth the drive!
