S	Spencer Lukas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Halton County Radial Railway has a wide variety of vintage electric streetcars! I've been numerous times and have had an absolutely amazing experience. The museum staff are very friendly and offer historic facts about some of the streetcars in their collection! Every time I visit, I feel like I'm stepping into the past. Plus, they have a streetcar at the end of their property called the "East-End Cafe" where they sell ice cream to visitors who enjoy riding the streetcars throughout the day!
R	Rockett Man on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for a family visit or those interested in rail/streetcar/Toronto area history. Various streetcars of many eras on display, streetcar rides every half hour. We'll run facility operated by very enthusiastic volunteers. Many historic displays of TTC and suburban rail cars, many of which have been painstaking restored. Gift shop, ice cream on site. Easy to get to. Admission is very reasonable. Great for young and old or families with children.
y	yevgen v on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great collection of old streetcars and subway cars. All the volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable. The highlight for me was the streetcar ride through forest which was especially beautiful given the fall colours. Definitely will be back to experience it in the other seasons.
L	Luigi Iacobellis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is perfect if your kids are into trains! You can ride one of two different types of street cars, you can go inside subway cars and some streetcars and they have a bunch of little train themed playhouses. The volunteers that run it are super friendly and share so much historical knowledge about the different types of trains and streetcars. Definitely check it out
R	Ryan Peddle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really enjoyed my visit. I think you need to be a bit into streetcars/mass transit to get your money's worth (or bring young kids) but we spent a solid 3 hours riding the two streetcars they had out for the day, reading history throughout the park, and walking through quite a few train cars, streetcars and subway trains they have in a hanger. Here's some notes for would-be visitors: - bring mosquito repellent. Trust. - it's actually not a big deal if it rains because the streetcars are covered and the museum exhibits are covered. - lots of picnic tables in multiple areas and a decent amount of green space to take in. This is the only time rain matters besides kids area (written about below). - not really food to buy here, as far as I could tell. Concession stuff only. - there's an ice cream parlour after your first ride on the streetcar. Bring cash. - a fun area for kids is outdoors so if weather sucks, perhaps bring the young kids another day. Really good for toddlers up to 9 year olds if I had to ballpark an age. - the hanger looks a little lame at first but keep going in, the interesting parts are past the no touch trains. That's it! Hope you have as much fun as I did. If you have parents who grew up in Toronto riding the TTC, this might be a trip down memory lane.
B	Betsy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You will enjoy this place if you are interested in old street cars and subways. There is a short ride into the woods on a 1921 streetcar which my ancestors could well have been on in Toronto so I liked that. Tiny museum of old photos. Small gift shop. And we took a picnic lunch as there are a few tables. Reservations required at this time.
R	Roman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is such a great museum for both kids and adults! We’ve enjoyed our visit here so much! Take a ride on some of the historic cars, walk inside some of the others (buses, subway’s and streetcars). Take a closer look at ad posters. Bring your own food or buy some ice cream in the shop, and enjoy it in the shady picnic area. There is also a small playground for kids. Many thanks to incredible volunteers who are so passionate about their work and bring joy to everyone who comes.
M	M. Werden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow. This place seems impossible and is so worth the visit for any rail buff, history buff, or just a great way to spend an afternoon. It is volunteer run and where else could you imagine that enthusiastic people could have made working streetcar lines and run their museum pieces on them for guests to ride. I remembered some of the vehicles from my childhood and it was so fun to ride on them. I also got to ride a 100 year old streetcar from Toronto. My daughter loved the visit and made me promise to take her back. Thanks for the experience.
