Ice Cream Night with the Trolley Museum!
2023-08-16 17:30 - 19:30
Join us for a Seashore Fan Favorite — Ice Cream Night! It’s a special one because it’s DOUBLE MUSEUM NIGHT! The Seashore Trolley Museum has invited the Brick Store Museum as its special guest for this event – help raise funds for both institutions at one time!

Held every Wednesday in July and August from 5:30PM-7:30PM, guests are treated to a special evening trolley ride on our heritage railway through our campus AND an ice cream sundae with all the fixin’s!
Tickets are $12/each (children two and under are free). Admission includes the trolley ride and ice cream sundae.

Trolleys will depart at 5:30PM, 6PM, and 6:30PM.

Example: if your ticket reads 5:30 – 6:30, your trolley leaves at 5:30. Your ice cream sundae will be after your trolley returns to the Visitor’s Center. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your ticket’s boarding time so you are ready to go at your ticketed departure time. (Walk-ins should arrive by 6:30PM to participate in the event).

Because Ice Cream Night is a fan-favorite, we encourage you to purchase tickets in advance. Eventbrite ticketholders are guaranteed a spot on the trolley during the ride you’ve selected. Tickets are also available at the door but you will be seated after Eventbrite ticketholders (or you may need to wait for the next ride/s to be accommodated).

The Brick Store Museum has been selected as one of 9 local nonprofits who will benefit from Ice Cream Night in 2023. On the Museum’s night (August 16), the Museum will receive 50% of all proceeds. This means that the Museum will receive $6 for every ticket sold to support our mission.
