Climb on board the Trolley! Founded in 1962, today’s kids still love the Minnesota Streetcar Museum (“MSM”)! Rather than a traditional brick and mortar building, this museum is a collection of restored, historic streetcars. These mini museums on tracks are active and operational trolleys that run at select times between May and October each summer. Passengers can see the Linden Hills neighborhood and Lake Harriet as they ride around in one of the last streetcars still in service.

About the Minnesota Streetcar Museum

Minnesota Streetcar Museum was originally part of the broader Minnesota Transportation Museum, but in December 2004 it became its own entity when MTM restructured to focus primarily on railroading. Currently, the museum maintains a fleet of eight historic Minnesota streetcars at the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line in Minneapolis and the Excelsior Streetcar Line, which operates in Downtown Excelsior near Lake Minnetonka (←we maintain a separate directory page for the Excelsior Line). Much of the museum’s equipment comes from Metro Transit’s predecessor, Twin City Rapid Transit. However, the museum represents street car history for all of Minnesota, and some of the equipment also originated in Duluth-Superior and Winona.

Important notes

  • This is not a physical museum in the sense we’re used to.  The streetcars themselves make up the museum.
  • Streetcars do not run in the rain.
  • The Excelsior Lines are part of this museum, but we list them separately.

Streetcar ride ticket prices

  • One ride: $3 per person (cashless only) children 3 and under free

Minnesota Streetcar Museum events

The museum hosts several events throughout the year, which we list in our Family Fun Calendar. Look for special rides on summer Holidays and opportunities to tour the barn where the trolleys are stored when not in use. Special rides for Halloween and Christmas are fun and family-friendly outings. They also traditionally partner with Wild Rumpus Books a couple times a year for the popular Story Trolley series. These Wild Rumpus events almost always sell out within a day or two of ticket release.
