Great place. Nice trolley ride. Informative. Don't listen to the review about "money for the space". It's to restore history and to keep it alive. It helps pay the upkeep on the rails. The electricity for the trolley. The salary for the employees. The upkeep of the buildings. It's not expensive at all. They also have bells your kids can ring. Trolleys they can role play on. Puzzles for them too. It's worth the visit.

Made it just in time for their last ride of the day. Very attentive staff and the conductor was very friendly and knowledgeable. The ride is about 50mins long and the seats are comfy. At the end of the ride there's a small room where one can see how the trolleys are restored and artifacts. There's a museum with history on the electric trolleys but didn't get to check it out this time. Worth it and looking forward to visiting again.
