Join the museum during December 3-4, 10-11 and 17-18 for this spectacular event that runs from 10 a.m. -5 p.m. with the last trolley departing at 4:45 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to climb aboard a restored streetcar that will transport them around the museum’s two-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.
Your camera will come in handy when you stop by the museum’s large Lionel toy train layout. This year’s layout will make you feel like a giant looking down on a beautiful Christmas village. A large collection of Department 56 collectible buildings was donated to the museum in memory of Mary C. Brown. Brown began her collection in the early 1980s and it grew to approximately 100 pieces by the year 2000. These beautiful porcelain buildings and accessories brought a lot of joy to Brown’s life and the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is proud to continue her display tradition with their large Lionel toy train layout.
In the museum’s Event Room, you will get to view the wonderful LEGO layout built by Steel City Lug, Pittsburgh Area’s Adult LEGO User Group. The holiday spirit will be all throughout the air and your bellies will be filled with complimentary hot chocolate and cookies. After eating your snacks, kids can make a great holiday craft to remember their visit!

This admission will include your trip on the Santa Trolley and the open exhibits. Admission includes trips on the Yuletide shuttle.
