Pennsylvania Trolley Museum’s stockings are hung by the trolleys with care with the knowledge that Santa Claus will soon be there! The merriest man himself will be visiting the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum during their annual Santa Trolley. Join the museum during November 26-28, December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, & 19 for this spectacular event that runs from 9AM-5PM. Please view the website listing for exact departure times. Guests will have the opportunity to climb aboard a restored streetcar that will transport them around the museum’s 2 mile track. While aboard, visitors will get to meet Santa Claus and a few of his friends may show up as well! Santa will be happy to have visitors take his picture, so make sure you remember to bring your camera. This event is made possible by sponsor, KeyBank.
After your ride with Santa, take a ride on the Yuletide Shuttle and visit our decorated Wexford station. Your camera will come in handy when you stop by the museum’s large Lionel toy train layout. Each year the layout changes, so come on down and view the beautiful winter scenery!
