We squeezed in A Sunday Afternoon visit and could have stayed longer. By riding the last trolley on May 5th, 2013 we we asked if we wanted to ride it into the storage building. After parking it inside, we were briefed on some of the many relics that are being preserved in their huge facility. The conductors were entertaining and... More

Stopped on on a whim with friends who were up to visit from Maryland and the first trolly we see when we walk through the door was the one that our friends father used to drive in Maryland. Really blew them away. The whole place was a neat step back in time.

My frist trip here was around 1977, and I've been hooked ever since, having been here at least four times since then. I've always loved Trolley's, espically the older ones.. After my visit here, my love for them shot through the roof! The have a huge ecletic collection of them from all over the world, including several from New England... More

I liked that it was educational. I was pleased that it was not expensive. They had a lot of trolley's to look at. I enjoyed the tour and took quit a few pictures as well. All the staff were very friendly too.

We enjoy all sorts of museums but transport museums are amongst the most fascinating. As is often the case, this museum relies on a lot of volunteers and a limited budget but there was plenty to see and enjoy and we felt the admission fee was fair. You can have unlimited rides on the trolleys in operation that day.

Based on the numerous positive reviews, I was very excited to visit the museum on our long weekend. I was extremely disappointed. The $10 admission is high. If you've never ridden a trolley or a Boston or NYC subway then it might be innovative to you but otherwise this was nothing new. The rest of the place is "self guided"... More

My spouse and I discovered this great museum online prior to going on our bi-annual vacation to America's wonderful eastern seacoast. Our only sorrow was we had no children with us. This museum is a work in progress and a dedicated crew of both paid tradesmen and volunteers have made this a must see for anyone in the area. Besides... More

Took my teenage son to the trolley museum- was very interesting and fun for him because he was able to move around and climb and actually get inside and even ride in some of the trolleys. A large variety to see and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable.

My boys (6 and 2 yrs old) are obsessed with trains and trolleys, and were so excited to go here! We passed by it several times during our weekend in Kennebunkport, but I had told the boys we were going to wait until our last day to visit the museum, b/c it was supposed to rain and I thought the...

This was my second time to the the museum. I rode a restored trolley around the property. Peter Kurtz, trolley conductor and Chester, trolley engineer, were great and explained the history of the museum (founding), restoration process and history of the trolleys (especially the one we were on). For kids of all ages, you may even ring the trolley's bell.... More
