The Shore Line Trolley Museum offers its Children’s Summer Reading Program for kids aged 4 to 8 on Tuesdays, Aug. 22 and 29. The trolley leaves at 11 a.m. The cost is $10 per adult, $9 per senior, $7 per child, and free for children younger than 2.

This program provides an opportunity for children to listen to a story in a real trolley car. The day begins with a trolley ride along the trolley line through the salt marsh, possibly seeing osprey, herons, egrets, swans, and other wildlife before returning to the trolley yard, where participants board the historic Story Trolley to listen to each week’s children’s story, read by one of the volunteer educators, followed by time to explore the other trolley cars on display.

In addition to the reading program, each child will receive a snack and drink. Guests can also bring their own lunch to enjoy at the picnic area. A parent or adult chaperon is required to accompany all children.
