Its a good museum with knowledgeable staff. Streetcar depart from the museum every 30 minutes and take you out into the forest for about 20 minutes. There is also a tour of the car barn seeing display streetcars. The museum is on the small side, the main hall you can cover in 20 minutes. The tour and streetcar ride are probably 40 minutes.

It's fun experience for everyone. The place is run by volunteer staff who are really enthusiastic about the museum. They take pride in explaining about the museum and the history of trolleys
Excellent destination for family. It is a volunteer run museum that is a must see for every Washingtonian, whether you are into railroads or not. Fascinating history of DC's cable cars (technically not pulled by cable), their growth and demise brought to life with multiple real rides with experts from a bygone era. Toddler destination. Reasonably priced. Beautifully restored and maintained
Purchased their birthday party package for our 6-year-old and it was AMAZING. We had way more kids than expected because everyone in his class was so excited to take the trolley ride. Trolley ride was AWESOME. Conductor Paris and driver Spencer were great with the kids. Staff was super flexible about us using the party room. Just a fabulous experience that I can’t recommend enough.
While the inside of this museum was a little underwhelming your entrance fee pays for a trip on an actual trolley through the woods! The ride itself was 100% worth the cost of admission! There is a miniature set up of a town with a working trolley and lights that the kids can turn off and on. Since we were there at Christmas time there was also a "Santa's Garden" set up with two train sets that were running. Both the trolley and train sets are closed off so the children can not touch them. I will definitely go back to visit this as my son LOVED the trolley ride.
For a train or trolly enthusiast this is a great place to checkout! Very neat collection of some very old trollies. The museum section is small but very informative of the local regional trolly history. Also an interactive display for the kids. The staff was enthusiastic, helpful and full of knowledge. We hope to get back and visit soon. Also, they do holiday themed rides for kids at Christmas etc
A strange ode to yesteryear. Cool if you're really into streetcars. Very small. Not many exhibits. The best thing about it is the two-mile long ride in an old streetcar/trolley.
My son is obsessed- different trolley every weekend. Birthday party here pretty basic but great for the under 5 crowd
