Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

About

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum's mission is to communicate the story of Pennsylvania's Trolley Era to a diverse audience.

Story

For old and young, we're tons of fun!

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum began in 1954 with three trolleys and a dream. Today, that dream is a reality. We now display a collection of nearly 50 cars, have over 150 volunteers regular, and receive 30,000 visitors each year. With your support, we can continue to fulfill our mission to keep the Trolley Era alive for generations to come.

I've been here once, and yet, I absolutely adore this place. The staff is so incredibly friendly and welcoming (they even allowed us in the maintenance bay!), and the magnitude of the history there is astounding. This is not just for families and children - anyone can appreciate the history and inexplicably fun nature of seeing something so ornate, loved and outdated :) Will absolutely return many times.

We had so much fun! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. When you first get there, you purchase your tickets in the gift shop (which are good all day). Then you walk out to the platform. There are 2 different Trolley rides. The first Trolley is an old time passenger car with windows. That one takes you for a 15 min ride around and back to the station. The other Trolley is an open car with no doors. That one takes you to the museum. There are lots of old cars starting with the very first cars. It was really neat to learn about them and how they progressed over time. My 4 year old had a great time too. I would definitely recommend.

Everyone in our group of 10 (ages 3 to 75) enjoyed the trolley rides, the model train layout, the staff, and the gift shop.

Beautiful place with a great ride - you can get on and off at any of their stops all day long. They have great exhibits and staff that clearly care about the museum and its collection. Must see - must do.
