As a train and trolley buff, I really enjoyed my visit here. Wonderful displays of old trolleys in the barn, and a fun ride on a working electric trolley car
Lots of very good fun! They've restored streetcars beautifully, and the rides were worth it, as well as the static exhibits.
Excellent way to spend a (summer) day if you've visited many of the places around the GTA. Prices aren't ridiculous, and having an ice cream at their streetcar ice cream shop on a summer day was worth it.
Admission isn't inaccessibly expensive either!
I visited this place for work. While there I enjoyed checking out the old rail cars. There is alot of history there. They have a snack bar and gift shop which has some interesting books about trains and rail cars. They also have toys like model trains etc. Cool place for kids and rail enthusiasts to spend an afternoon.
We went in December on one of the two special Saturday event days. Very fun Christmas experience for families with small children or train obsessed people! They run streetcars along the track every 20 minutes, with Santa on board and song sheets for the passengers to all sing carols. There are Christmas decorations along the route. There warehouse of other train, subway and street cars and buses is fun to explore, but not climate controlled and as cold as outside. They were selling food, holiday treats and some cider, and some live music was happening in the station building. There are lots of fun areas for kids to explore. Change table available in women's washroom. Gift shop with all kinds of train paraphernalia. Volunteers know a lot about their museum! Worth the drive!
We had a blast with my 5 and 2 year old here. The train ride was comfortable and scenic. Love how they decorated an old street car into an ice cream shop. Folks here are very friendly and passionate about their job. Comfortable cafeteria with a train table to keep little ones entertained while we enjoy our $5 hot dog meal which includes drink and chips
