Join us for Sensory Friendly Friday Nights. Late afternoons on select Fridays we are staying open late to provide a sensory friendly experience for children and adults with sensory challenges.

During Sensory Friendly Hours:

• Ticket sales will be limited for ASD families during these hours (we will be closed for the general public).
• Trolley crew will be asked to turn down radios and approach each family to make announcements instead of using our PA system.
• Dispatchers will ask guests before they board if they would appreciate a quieter ride or a ride with regular trolley noise ride.
• Before families board and the trolley departs, the crew will talk about the noises that will be heard on the ride (air compressor, rail squeaking around curves, bells, etc.) and what parts of the trolley they come from.
• Radios and music throughout the museum, talking tree, and anything else that creates noise inside the Museum will be shut off.

Inside the Visitor Center you will find static trolley cars and artifacts, a theater showing a Trolley themed movie, and a gift shop to buy that ‘special’ souvenir. On the same grounds is the Connecticut Fire Museum complete with antique fire trucks and apparatus. All activities and Fire Truck Museum entrance is included with your admission price.

Take a trolley ride operated by period dressed motormen.  Learn historic information about each car you ride and how the museum began.  Inside the Visitor Center you will find more static trolley cars and artifacts, a theater showing a kids Easter movie and a gift shop to buy that ‘special’ souvenir.
