All Aboard! Take a trolley ride on a heritage electric railway at Seashore Trolley Museum in beautiful Kennebunkport, Maine this summer. The museum is open Wednesdays-Sundays from 9:30AM-4:30PM through October 26. Enjoy several transit exhibits, three carhouses showcasing restored trolleys, the Restoration Shop viewing gallery, a model railroad building, and more.
Seashore Trolley Museum also offers several special events for the whole family to enjoy throughout their operating season.
The first event taking place this summer is Dino Trolley, to be held rain or shine this Saturday and Sunday June 28-29 and again August 9-10.
Take a trolley ride on the museum’s heritage railway aboard the Dino Trolley to search for over 40 dinosaur silhouettes hidden along the railway; see if you can spot them as the trolley goes by! Enjoy several fun activities for youth of all ages back at the museum’s Visitors Center and main campus, including:
Dino Big Dig: Search for dinosaur bones hidden in Seashore’s very own archeological dig site.
Dino Egg Hunt: Search for dinosaur eggs filled with prizes across campus.
Frozen Fossil: Dig through ice (snow cones!) to find a frozen dinosaur.
Craft in a Bag: Make it at the event or take it home with you.
Photo Station: Take a photo with your group or family to remember the day at this dino-themed photo station.
Admission to the event is just $15 per person and includes all activities listed above; children two and under are free. The museum works hard to avoid any potential crowding at their events by selling a limited amount of tickets for each trolley departure time. Dino Trolleys depart at 9:45, 10:30, 11:15, 12PM, 12:45, 1:30, 2:15 and 3PM. Purchase tickets in advance at http://dinotrolley.eventbrite.com to guarantee your Dino Trolley departure time. Guests are encouraged to come earlier or stay later after the Dino Trolley ride to enjoy all of the activities on campus; the museum will be open from 9:30AM-4:30PM.
The next family event taking place at Seashore Trolley Museum this summer is Ice Cream Night. This fan-favorite event is held every Wednesday in July and August from 5:30PM-7:30PM. Guests are treated to a special evening trolley ride on the museum’s heritage electric railway through their wooded campus AND an ice cream sundae with all the fixin’s.
Tickets are $12/each (children ages two and under are free). Admission includes the trolley ride and ice cream sundae. Trolleys depart at 5:30PM, 6PM, and 6:30PM. Because Ice Cream Night is very popular, guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at https://icecreamnight.eventbrite.com
This event is even more special because Seashore Trolley Museum gives back to the community. The museum has selected nine benefiting local nonprofits, one for each of the nine Ice Cream Night events this summer. These partner nonprofits receive 50% of all ticket sales during their event; this means they receive $6 for every ticket sold to support their mission.
