There is a parking lot available. I highly recommend and we will definitely return!

The site is really quite well done and is thorough and organized. We learned quite a bit here and we really enjoyed getting a full picture of how the industry developed and thrived in the Scranton area. Steamtown is a gem and I'm very glad that we decided to re-visit it after all these years!

We went recently with a some antique railroad signaling equipment, a true find. They rejected the piece because they needed to have a board meeting about it before accepting it. We were directed to return at a later date, which we could not since we live 2 hours away. In the meantime, as we entered the display floor, there was display of GARBAGE that was found under the dirt while conducting a cut-in. Thisis the level of railroad "knowledge" that the current directors have.

If you're anywhere near Scranton and even remotely curious about transportation history, this…read moreMuseum is worth popping into. But let me say up front, if you have a dog, plan accordingly. The museum shares a parking lot with Steamtown and is a non-profit dedicated to preserving and restoring historic trolley cars. The museum building itself is not a dog friendly. We had our dog with us so we took turns going inside and honestly that was fine. It just meant that we couldn't spend as long as we wanted. There are clean bathrooms inside as well as exhibits about electric rail, old photographs, artifacts and even restored trolley cars inside. And the best part for me, BY FAR, is that even though the museum is not dog friendly, the trolley ride is. I highly highly recommend the trolley ride for any and everyone. The gentleman running the trolley were so friendly and welcoming with lots of stories to share. After you board, you travel along a historic line through the Lackawanna valley passing woods, bridges, and streets where one of the gentleman has to get out and hold a sign so that the trolley can get across traffic. It also goes through a tunnel which is really fun. Sitting in the wooden seats and feeling the clack of the car while you watch the beautiful scenery go by almost takes you back in time. We even saw a bear in the woods during our trolley ride. It was a really fun experience. Compared to the ride, the museum itself felt informative and well intentioned but not nearly as exciting. And as much as I appreciate the history and preservation efforts, if I'm being honest, I would skip the indoor exhibits and head straight for the trolley ride! It's the best 12 bucks you will spend in Scranton.

While not the only trolley museum in Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, Washington, PA)…read morethis one is unique to the area. This museum shares a parking lot with the Steamtown National Historic Site and fits in quite nicely. When I showed up in this area I opted to do the trolley museum first and I am glad I did. Rates to enter the museum are reasonable. $7 for an adult, $6 for senior, and $5 for a child (ages 3 - 17). They also do offer a ten mile roundtrip trolley ride. You can do this in conjunction to viewing the museum or do it separately. I highly encourage you to do this in conjunction to the museum. The prices listed above, just add $5. Trolley ride itself...$10 for an adult, $9 for senior, $8 for a child. Believe me, it is worth it. I was lucky enough to have arrived about a half hour before the next trolley ride departed. The museum itself, is not huge, and I will get into that later in this review, so you can do both in a very short amount of time. If you purchase a trolley ride you will receive a wristband to verify that you paid the entrance fee. Around ten minutes before the trolley leaves station they tell you where to go to board. There is a train platform about midway up the parking lot, it is a bit of a hike. You do not have to wait to go to the platform, you can head that way at any time. You are then allowed to board the trolley, find your seat and lock in. You are on an original trolley car and are about to head five miles to the baseball stadium and then turn around and come back. This ride is relaxing and informative. Along the way you will make a few stops, one of the first is at the barricaded entrance to a long closed coal mine, then you will stop near the manmade waterfall, then sit back and enjoy your ride through the tunnel. At the end of this, you are at the ballpark where they have a maintenance garage with other trolley cars either being stored or worked on. This is one of the few ballparks in the country that utilizes a trolley to transport people to and from the park. In the building they have a map of the track you just took to get here and it is broken up into the phases it took to have this line up and running. Then you reboard the trolley and head back to the platform outside of the museums. As for the museum portion, definitely worth your time to go through each section. There is the big informative section with artifacts. Each display has a breakdown of the items and information on the use of those items. There are some interactive aspects here as well. One particular thing is the refurbished dissected trolley car. This show you how one was built and how it worked. They do have a garage here as well and there are several trolley cars in storage and in different stages of repair. There is a kids room and even if you are an adult, check it out, if only for the train track suspended from the ceiling. Do check out the store on your way out. Staff were super pleasant. Great museum. Oh! I almost forgot, the electric trolley was the whole reason Scranton is called the Electric City.
