Disclosure: This is a sponsored post as we were invited for a ride. All opinions expressed are my own.
I OWE this review. Two years ago we went here and although it was cool I personally wasn’t blown away by the Santa they had used. I wasn’t sure how to approach it and so I didn’t post. I was so stuck on that one little detail (I thought it was a big deal) that I lost focus on who and what mattered most.
We researched and went because its close to my best friend (Aunt Shelby’s) house. It was a combined visit with her and Christmas activity to do with the kids. Its not super far away, but as many know the drive through CT can be a bear if you don’t know when to make the trip.
Meet Aunt Shelby
So here is our experience at the Shoreline Trolley Museum.
(E) was so young she has no recollection of the visit, but (A) is another story entirely. He remembers every moment. If my posting this is any indication, I have to tell you, he asks when we are going again all the time.
He remembers getting to ride on a cool Trolley (it was very cool) like Daniel Tiger. He remembers being able to drive (a little). He loved looking out the windows at the lights along the way.
Once there, he loved the train car and the other decorated Trolley cars around the yard. He still talks about the Hot Chocolate and the cookies that were out for us. He loved that the wait for Santa was short, and that Santa really spoke to him (he didn’t have 10,000 other boys and girls waiting for their turn so he was able to actually spend some time with him).
At the main building there is also an adorable little Trolley museum with some interactive displays as well.
He talks about it all the time. He was 3, he is now 5. We have gone on some pretty cool trips, been on the Polar Express (which he loved), and so many other attractions, and he still talks about this one.
