Celebrate National Grandparents Day at the Trolley Museum

The venue is offering special half-price admission for those who bring their grandchildren this weekend.

Pennsylvania Trolley Museum invites all the local grandmas and paps to give the grandkids a glimpse of the world you knew growing up— the era when trolleys ruled the streets.

Grandparents who bring grandchildren will receive half-price senior admission Saturday and Sunday to celebrate National Grandparents Day. Grandparents can treat themselves and the grandkids to an affordable afternoon of nostalgia and use the museum to bring a bygone era to life.

Activities include unlimited trolley rides, tours of the Trolley Display Building (which houses more than 30 streetcars), tours of the restoration shop, complimentary cookies and coffee, and a play trolley and activities for kids.
