Connecticut Trolley Museum Winterfest

The Connecticut Trolley Museum is a location that offers a few different things. They offer Rails to the Darkside in October (a haunted trolley ride and walkthrough attraction) and during the winter they do Winterfest and the Tunnel of Lights - a trolley ride through the woods to look at lights. The trolley runs from 5-9 pm on select nights throughout the month. Tickets are $3 for kids under 4, $10 from 4-12 years, $12 for adults, and $11 for seniors - the tickets are discounted if you are a museum member. Lines can get a bit long depending on what time you show up, but they do move along pretty fast. I will say that the trolley ride was a bit boring, but it might be fun for younger kids. The inside of the museum was lit up nicely though.

Here are my top 3 tips if you plan to go to Winterfest- 

1) Dress warm, especially if you are going to go on the trolleys!

2) There is an open wagon and a closed trolley, if you don't mind being cold, the open wagon is fine - but if you want to be a bit warmer - sit in the closed trolley.

3) It is a bit icy in some spots there - so just be cautious of where you are walking.
