Fantastic trolley museum. Excellent restoration work. The trip to Short Beach is a highlight.

This place is the best for kids and families but honestly I'd even go alone! Such a pleasant ride on a real trolley and loved listening to the knowledgeable guides tell us about the other trolleys on site. Really a cheerful place. Loved seeing the osprey nests on our ride. Cute gift shop as well.

Nostalgic for me. My mother took me on a trolley on Lansdale, I was about 5 or 6 at the time. Loved the museum and trolley 🚎 ride.

The little museum itself has a handicap ramp. But the trolley and the part of the tour that views the trolleys in the barn is not wheelchair accessible. Tight spaces in the trolley barns.
