Fairgrounds 8.14.24(JLD)
From August 9-16, enjoy our $5 tickets that include Museum admission and a ride to the Washington County Fair! Sponsored by Coen Markets.

Visitors may park in one of our three parking locations and enjoy a trolley ride to the fairgrounds for $5 per passenger. Your ticket is good all day, so we’ll give you a lift back to your car at the end of your visit, and you’re welcome to take unlimited trolley rides throughout the day for fun. Your $5 ticket also gives you admission to the Museum on the date of purchase during our regular hours of 10 AM to 4 PM.

Dates and Times

The Washington County Fair runs Saturday, August 9 through Saturday, August 16. Trolley shuttle service runs 10 AM to 11 PM. Trolleys depart approximately every 10 to 15 minutes. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is open each day of the fair, including Monday, from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Park-and-Ride Locations
  • Museum Lot: 1 Electric Way
  • West Campus Lot: 1 Museum Road
  • Eaton Lot: 2800 North Main Street

The trolley takes riders to the Fairgrounds Trolley Platform which is conveniently situated at the front entrance to the Fair and features a covered canopy to shelter riders during inclement weather.

Tickets

Tickets may be purchased for $5 per person, and children ages 2 and under may ride for free. Tickets are valid the entire day of purchase for unlimited rides until 11 PM. This fee does not include admission to the Fair.

Riders and visitors arriving at the Museum from 10 AM to 4PM may purchase their tickets inside our Welcome & Education Center. Riders boarding from 10 AM to 4 PM at our other park-and-ride locations should pay when they exit the trolley at the fairgrounds. Riders boarding between 4 PM and 11 PM will be able to purchase tickets at whatever parking lot they use.

Discounted family ticket packs of 8 tickets will be available. Museum memberships include free rides to the Fair for the amount of visitors the membership covers.

$5 Museum Week

A $5 trolley ride ticket may only be used to visit the Museum on the same date of its purchase. The Museum closes each day at 4 PM, and tickets purchased after closing are not good for Museum admission on that day or any dates in the future. For example, a ticket bought at 5 PM on Tuesday is not good for admission on future days even though the Museum has now closed for the day. Likewise, a ticket bought at 2 PM on a Tuesday is good for Museum admission until the Museum closes that day at 4 PM but is not good for admission on any future dates.

Family Packs rules: Family Packs contain 8 tickets that can be redeemed at any of our park-and-ride locations throughout the week. The tickets contained in a family pass are good for Museum admission on whichever days they are redeemed.

Thank you to Coen Markets for their generous support of this event!
