Holly Trolley Rides at the New York Museum of Transportation!
Continuing its holiday tradition, the New York Museum of Transportation,
in Rush, will welcome Santa on December 7, 13 and 14. He's eager to
meet the kids and pose for pictures. Holiday decorations, complimentary
cookies and hot chocolate, and the fondly remembered Midtown Plaza
Monorail will add to the fun in this unique celebration of the
holidays. All that and a ride on a heated, vintage trolley car!
Admission including the trolley ride is $18 adults, $14 age 3 - 14.
Rides depart at 11:00, 11:45, 12:30, 1:15, 2:00, 2:45 and 3:30.
Reservations are required: www.nymtmuseum.org/Christmas
The only operating trolley museum in New York State features a ride
through the country that harks back to the era of interurban trolleys
carrying holiday shoppers between cities and their rural homes. The
vintage trolley car is heated and ticks off the miles in style as it has
for almost a century.
The Midtown Plaza Monorail exhibit brings back memories of Christmas at
that downtown shopping mall. The exhibit features the two-car train
suspended from its original rails, along with photos, descriptions of
the monorail's history, and a video celebrating monorails around the
country.
A popular attraction at the museum is the model railroad room with its
huge HO gauge model railroad running several trains at once. A 20 foot
long N gauge representation of the Rochester Subway provides a complete
view of the Subway from Rowland's Loop to the car barns on Rochester's
northwest side.
Kids will also want to sit in the driver's seat of a fire truck, climb
into the cab of a steam locomotive, and ring the bell in a trolley snow
sweeper, all inside the museum's spacious main hall.
The New York Museum of Transportation is located just 20 minutes south
of Rochester at 6393 East River Road in Rush, and can be reached from
I-390 exit 11.
