My son LOVED the trolley ride - 55 minute ride and worth it! If you go on a colder day, chilly in the tunnel. My son liked reading everything - just wished the model trains throughout were running but both sections were not. The hands on kid exhibit is great for little imaginations, I really appreciate the fare bells and the wooden car so he could feel like he was in charge. A few to view and a few to climb on!

There is a small admission fee for adults and children. Since we visited in a Monday there were no trolley rides or excursions running. This museum is on the smaller side, with 3 main exhibit areas, gift shop, and a kids play/education room. You'll see lots of preserved and restored trolley and rail station parts in the display cases and in the larger rooms several restored and salvaged trolleys (some in the process of being restored). There are two parked trolleys you can enter/board (non-running) replete with bells you can ring. There's also a miniature train display that was not running when we visited. We stayed for about an hour which is enough to see everything.
