All Aboard! Take a holiday adventure on heated, decked out trolleys on Seashore Trolley Museum's heritage railway.
About this Event

Come out to the Seashore Trolley Museum for a special winter treat! Ride in heated trolleys decked out in live holiday greens on our private heritage railroad, check out several exhibits and displays including the new model railroad building, shop in the Museum Store, and enjoy delicious hot chocolate! Only $14/person; children 2 and under that will be sitting on laps on the trolley ride are free. Santa will also be on campus during four event days–see below for times! Complimentary hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast around our outdoor fire pit are also included in the price of admission.

This event will be held Friday-Sunday December 5-7 and 12-14. The start time on your ticket is the time your trolley ride will depart; we depart promptly at each departure time. Our winter trolley rides are roughly 25 minutes in length and journey through our beautiful, wooded campus. You and your family/group are welcome to arrive before or stay after your ride to enjoy the museum’s outdoor exhibits and our climate-controlled Craft Room inside our Visitors Center, which will also have (real) gingerbread house village on display created by local Gingerbread Artist Kathy Locke. The Museum will be open from 9:30AM-5:30PM. The last trolley ride departs from the Visitors Center at 5PM each day.

This event will be held rain, light snow or shine.

Santa will be on campus and available for photos during the following dates and times: Sunday, 12/7 from 3PM-5:30PM; and Friday-Sunday December 12-14 from 9:30AM-12PM and 1PM-5:30PM.

Our heritage railway is approximately 3 miles from downtown Kennebunkport and does not connect with downtown Kennebunkport. Our trolleys are the real deal and operate on a railroad, not paved roads — the “trolleys” that travel on the roads are imitation trolleys built to look like the trolleys that operated in the early 1900s, the original trolleys that we have preserved and now operate on our heritage railway (please see photos above and below).

Accessibility: Seashore Trolley Museum has a Mobilift to help guests with mobility challenges access our trolleys.

Refund Policy: In the event of a blizzard or other significant weather event, we may cancel our event and refund your tickets/transfer your tickets to another event day if you wish. We anticipate this event will sell out quickly. Therefore, refunds will only be granted up to seven (7) days in advance of your event date, unless someone in your group has tested positive with COVID-19. We would be happy to offer a free Family Day Pass in exchange for event tickets that are unable to be used for other reasons. This pass can be used on any General Admission day at the Museum during our 2026 or 2027 season.

For questions, please email [email protected] or call (207) 967-2800 x101.

Thank you for supporting our event!
