Our drivers, John and Rick, were amazing and kept in touch with me every step of the way, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Molly's Trolleys. They were the highlight of the wedding.

Everything is ridiculously vague. The pick up location indicated one area outside the Fairmont Hotel, but there was no signage and a very helpful valet pointed us to the pickup location. We were in place over 10 min early with one person still monitoring the other designated stop just in case, but that didn't mean anything because the "pickup times are approximate." We waited about 25 minutes and figured that the bus running over 15 minutes late seemed a bit extreme, so my SIL called the company. Apparently the bus came and left from who knows where and we never even saw it despite being able to see clearly down five different streets. Our next option was to wait over an hour for the next bus, but the person on the phone couldn't provide the exact bus pick up location, which made waiting pointless if the bus was not going to be at the advertised location. We ended up sightseeing on our own.

Our first tour guide did a great job letting us know what had been filmed in certain areas, but not so well with telling us what someone might see or experience at different spots. Our second guide, Ren, did a great job with that. I wish she had talked about the giant art fair that had been going on through town though. (Although, maybe she did when we weren't on the bus?) We didn't have any issues with pick up or drop off. We got to see the Duquesne Incline, Randyland and The Warhol Museum. At one point we did stop at the tour companies headquarters - I would advise you not to make the same mistake I did and get sunscreen.

We went on a Saturday..got there around 3pm and left at 5pm. We barely ran into anyone while exploring..which was great. 2hrs was obviously not enough time. When we got there we checked in at the table..you get a wristband while on the property. Purchasing your tickets ahead of time..it makes life for the employees a lot easier. It's dark and there isn't power..so using the iPad to check out is a pain for them. They give you the rules and what not to do..where to stay out of..and they let you explore all on your own. We literally had so much fun. Make sure to bring plenty of flashlights and warm clothes if you're going during that winter season like we did. There are tunles that run from building to building..awesome! The chapel is incredible, the cell housing areas are just as cool..just so many things..the prison barber school..the cobbler shop. So many nooks and crannies. We learned theyll have overnight explorations in the spring/summer/fall in 2023. There will be a hydroponics building as well.

My family and I planned a special trip out here to do the rail car. I bought my partner this…read moreexperience as his Christmas gift. Each year, I try to find something unique vs just a thing that he wouldn't use. It's an easy drive from DC, and the town of Frostburg is so adorable. We have two 5 year olds, and the staff was very friendly and explained how the tour would be structured. My kids just loved pushing the pedals and seeing the scenery pass by. For this first outing, I ended up booking one of the shorter tours, going with the Woodcock Hollow Express. It was the perfect option, especially with younger kids. It was entertaining enough, without them getting bored. It's one way, and man, our car went fast! I sat in the back, while my partner sat in the front of the car. It takes coordination on braking, which he clearly needed some work with! But we did manage to slow down before hitting the other guests riding in front of us. Once you reach the end of the track, the tour has a bus waiting, which will transport you back to the train station. The driver gave us some great tips and history as we rode the 15-20 minute ride back. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would totally do it again and try one of their other longer tours, especially as our kids get older.

We took a day trip to Frostburg specifically to do railbiking with Tracks and Yaks. I saw a video…read moreon social media and I was sold! We booked the Helmstetter Hotshot trip about a week in advance (when I checked the morning of our ride, it was sold out - so book early!). The price is per car (not per person), making it a reasonably priced excursion. We booked a two-person cart, which was $110 in total after fees (comes out to about $55 per person). There is also a four-seater which comes out to about $50 per person. We booked a 3pm ticket and were still en route to Frostburg around 2:50pm. Tracks and Yaks kindly called us to make sure we were still coming (we were about 2 minutes away). The follow-up is appreciated! We were glad to know that the rail bikes weren't leaving without us. Once we arrived, we had to scan a QR code to fill out a waiver. Their depot center has indoor restrooms and a small gift shop. We were given a quick safety briefing, were directed to our rail bike, buckled up, they oriented us to the brake system and had us do a quick practice run (they said no bumper cars) and we were off! Our car had a handbrake for each rider; another car had one handbrake lever for the entire car (that one went fast!). Our car also had little zipper pouches to secure small personal effects. There was also a crate attached to the back of the seat to store larger items at your own risk. I ended up putting my bag in the crate - I didn't find any crazy bumps along the way that put my bag in danger of flying out. You're required to stay seated and buckled for the whole trip. You also have to make sure your feet stay on the pedals or rest on the front or the car (if you can reach) - you don't want your feet dragging on the rocks or brush. The track is shady, so it did feel cool at times. We went on a perfect summer day, but I imagine it being a lot colder in the fall and winter (or when it's rainy... it is rain or shine). When the rail bikes pick up speed (12-15 mph), there is a strong breeze, so hold on to your hats! The car in front of us actually had one of their hats fly off and into the tracks. The staff was kind enough to pick it up off the tracks and returned it to the owner at the end of the trip (but returns are not guaranteed... this was a bright white hat lying in the middle of the tracks. Other personal items might not be so obvious). You're allowed to take pictures, but they warn you to have a death grip on your phone. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because they said it was a guided rail bike tour, but there wasn't a whole lot of guiding. The guiding is more along the lines of directing traffic (we do go over a couple crossings, so the staff are positioned to make sure it's clear to proceed). There was only one pause at a scenic spot to briefly explain what we were looking at, to point out the small town and state border, and advertise other day trips offered by the company. The guide also explained the markers on the trail and mentioned the brush tunnel that we'd be going through. I would say the brush tunnel was the main event of the ride. The ride ended shortly after the tunnel, around a curve. At that point, we got off the rail bikes and climbed into the van waiting for us. The return shuttle was a missed opportunity to be a tour guide - our driver was soft spoken and only spoke when spoken to, and only to the riders closest to the front. I wouldn't describe the route as super scenic. I was expecting to see more mountain views, but it was mostly greenery. It was more of a ride through the woods. I imagine it being prettier in the fall to see the fall foliage. It was still a fun experience riding on the tracks and pedaling somewhat (it's mostly downhill, so you don't really need to pedal, only in a few flat areas). The Helmstetter Hotshot has approximately a two-hour duration. The two-hour duration includes the travel time from Cumberland back to Frostburg. Bikes started leaving the depot around 3:15pm and we arrived to the end of the track around 4:30pm. It was about a 15-20 minute drive back to the Frostburg train depot. We were finished and headed to dinner before 5pm, so the two-hour estimate was accurate. Staff were fun and friendly (don't forget to bring cash to tip at the end). They helped to snap a picture on our phone once we got situated and before we started rolling away. This isn't an experience to do every week, but it's fun enough to want to do more than once. This activity is recommended for all ages. I'm now obsessed with rail biking and want to do it everywhere and anywhere it's offered!
