Enjoy the only electric trolley car ride in New York State as it passes through scenic countryside in the valley of the Genesee River. Rides operate Sundays only, October 5, 12, and 26 and are included free with admission to the museum. The 20-minute rides depart at 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30. The museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. No reservations needed.
While the rides are a highlight for visitors, large model railroads, numerous full-size trolley cars, a steam locomotive, antique trucks and cars, horse-drawn vehicles, and smaller artifacts provide a rich, hands-on experience that appeals to kids and older folks alike. The museum’s newest exhibit features Rochester's Midtown Plaza Monorail.
The New York Museum of Transportation is conveniently located 20 minutes south of Rochester at 6393 East River Road (I-390 south to exit 11, NY Rt. 251 West, then 1 mile north on East River Road). Family friendly admission for the entire experience is just $12 adults, $10 seniors over 65, and $6 youths age 3 through 12. www.nymtmuseum.org (585) 533-1113
