The trolley ride is a must. We stopped by on a drive home and the trolley rides were t happening but my train loving son absolutely loved it and kept asking to go back in April since he heard the front desk tell us that's when the rides start. So we were able to make it back for a trolley ride which both my kids loved. Learned a lot on the ride and enjoyed some beautiful views. If we find ourselves back in the area I'd come back for sure.

It's lot of memory as I born in a town with railway station. The guide is really kind to introduce all the locomotives in the round house as they called

Make sure that you pay an extra $5 for the trolley ride. Around 50-125 years ago street car/trolleys were used in most American cities. The Trolley Museum is right next to Steamtown, which is operated by the National Park Service. The two attractions share the same parking lot.

Small museum but fun. We learned so much about the history of trolley from this place. Friendly staff. Definitely worth visiting if you are nearby. Great place to bring a family.

This museum was a great find. Loved that the history of the trolley still lives on and there is an ongoing restoration process for the cars they have. There are a lot of facts, videos and photos historically documented. It's a small cute museum and the trolley ride is worth it!

The family and I really enjoyed our time here, takes anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to see the whole place. The front desk was incredibly helpful and informed us right away of their covid safety procedures as well as the do's and don'ts of the exhibit because of the virus. Social distancing of course, no mask no entry, and they discourage pretty much touching anything. You can no longer board, walk or sit in the trolley like you could prior to covid, but all n all we still had a great time. Hopefully trolley service will resume sometime during the summer or later in the year.

Small and informative, packed with old trolley cars and memorabilia. It also houses the model railroad of Scranton bestowed upon the city by John Oliver of HBO's "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver." No need to make a day of it, but it's a nice place to check out.

Small and short little museum. Not a whole lot to see but at least worth the admission price.

Fun trolley rides for the kids. They do holiday ones and character ones throughout the year. My son always has fun.
