Rails to the Darkside

As the fall chill fills the air, on the Darkest of Nights, mournful cries of the abandoned dead are heard on the tracks at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.

Come for a scare if you dare…the next trolley ride is an express to the Darkside!

During this haunted experience, ride vintage trolleys into the dark woods for a fear that you will never forget. Listen to the tale of yesteryear, as you learn of a hastily moved cemetery whose bodies were left behind…their angry souls seeking their revenge.

Will You Survive?

The event will be held on Friday and Saturday nights starting September 30^th. This experience is rated PG-13 and may be too intense for the squeamish.

Hours are 7pm-9:30pm (gates open at 6:15pm for ticket sales).

Admission is $25 per person and recommended for ages 16+. We have changed up the event this year with a new lay-out and scares!
