"I thought this was a fascinating museum, covering trolleys in the world's first and largest museum of mass transit vehicles. It was fun to walk through some of them and hear about the history of transportation. They do run seasonally - opening in May, 2024. They also run seasonal events."
"This place is amazing, and during the holidays, wow!! I took my dad in December, and we had a blast! The trollies are beautifully decorated, your tix gets you access to all of the public building, you can see a whole fleet of trollies/trains in various stages of restoration. There is a room for kids with Mr. and Mrs. Clause (real people!), a gingerbread train station, activities, free hot coco. The ride is 30 minutes through beautiful woods, and at the end, there was a wood fire with marshmallows to roast. The staff are amazing, it was so low key and SO much more affordable than other holiday train rides. The trolly was warm, very toasty. Supporting a non-profit feels good, and this one was so great! I highly recommend! We went to the Candy Land room in the lincoln hotel in Biddeford after the trolly ride....it was a perfect day! Go, enjoy, don't delay!"
"Great museum, very interesting and fun day out. Kids will love it it here, adults too but you’ve got to enjoy kids screaming and crying around you lol The lady who sold us tickets didn’t give me the sheet with all the info on it, so we were confused for a bit. I went back and asked for more info and received the info sheet and clarification on where you could go while waiting for the trolley. Trolley ride is short but very interesting and nostalgic. As of Oct 9th, it will stop and let you out to pick a pumpkin to bring back to paint at the station. Google stated rate was $13 for an adult but it’s $15."
"Amazing little place to spend a little time with family. Very kid friendly. I went with some older family and they loved it. Staff were very nice and helpful! The tour was fun. Really makes you think of the old days lol."
"As a longtime train enthusiast, I greatly enjoyed the museum. The ride on a historic, fully restored trolley car is very scenic, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. There are many sights to see on site, including several preserved railroad interlocking towers, antique transit buses, and subway cars from New York and Boston. Definitely worth a visit for any history buff."
