When spring arrives, the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line resumes its journey between Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska.
This heritage line run by the Minnesota Streetcar Museum captures a slice of life in Minneapolis-St. Paul between 1879 and 1954, when streetcars ran on over 500 miles of track across the Twin Cities and beyond.
Catch the "1300," built in 1908 in St. Paul and listed in the US National Register of Historic Places, or the modern "PCC," built in 1943.
Passengers board the trolley on the platform close to the shore of Lake Harriet, and pass through peaceful leafy green parkland to reach the north platform across from Bde Maka Ska. It returns with a stop at the Car Barn.
The trolley is easily accessible by bike and bus, and a ride is a fun addition to a picnic, lakeside lunch, visit to the rose garden, playground, bird sanctuary or canoe ride, or swim at the lakes.
Chartering the trolley offers a unique party venue.
Specialty charters include the Motorman charter, where you are taught to run the streetcar.
The trolley offers a Kids' Club, Neurodiversity rides, weddings, renewals and visits with Santa.
Please visit Trolleyride.org for special events throughout its 51st operating season!
