Plan your visit

Boarding
Use the trolley platform at 300 Cliff Street on the Steamtown campus, rather than a mailing address.
Before visiting
The county’s calendar lists holiday dates but asks visitors to confirm special-event times. Its ordinary ride timetable and fares should not be assumed to cover this event.

Would an overnight stay help?

Compare your departure time and drive home before deciding. An evening train or a long journey may make staying nearby useful. Secure the correct holiday train first, then check lodging independently; no hotel or regular-excursion booking establishes holiday admission.
