Trolley Time Birthday
Availability: Weekends from March thru early–October. Times are 11:30 a.m.
and 2:30 p.m.
Party Information: Start off the
party with a private ride on a decorated trolley and a tour of the carbarn.
Groups then may do their own activities—open presents, eat food, and/or play
games in the picnic area. Party groups have private access to the picnic
area. We have 13, six foot picnic tables (no covered shelter), restrooms,
garbage cans, and electricity. If the weather is bad the group may use the
indoor education room. Paper conductor hats are provided for the children.
Party groups may also tour the museum building, watch the video, shop in
the store, and go for a second trolley ride (with the general public).
Parties are scheduled for two hours. You may arrive ½ hour prior to the
party to set up.
Fee
Information:
The party cost is $150.00. This covers 25 participants. If there are more
than 25 participants in the group (45 is the maximum for a party) an
additional $6.00 per person is payable on the day of the party. There is no
fee for children under 2. The non–refundable fee is due one month in advance
of the party to hold the date and time. If the fee is not received the date
will not be reserved.
Party Treats
Items for favor
bags and gifts for the birthday child are available thru the Museum Store.
Contact Lynn Caffrey for more information. |

All Aboard Birthday
Availability: mid-October, November and December during public
hours (Fri. thru Mon.). Also the first two weekends in January. Party times
start every hour—weekdays from 10-2 and Saturday and Sunday from 11-3. Tours
begin at 15 minutes after the hour, every hour, and the trolley ride goes
out at 35 minutes past the hour. You choose the time.
Party Information: Bring your party
group to the museum and take part in the “regular” museum tour and ride.
Additional fun is available during our Bunny, Pumpkin, Santa and Trolleys
and Toy Trains events. See the website or call for those dates and event
info. After your ride and tour a trolley will be put out for your use (with
heat for cooler weather). You may then do your own activities — open
presents, eat food, and/or play games. Party groups may also tour the museum
building, watch the video, shop in the store, and go for a second trolley
ride.
Fee Information: The cost is $6 per
person. No charge for those under 2. A $35 deposit is required to hold the
date and time.
