Schedule

Board at the Water Street stop between 3rd and George Street or at Old Excelsior Blvd. near Minnetonka Blvd. Reservations are not required.

Our streetcars are carefully restored historical artifacts. We do not operate them in the rain. Although we make every effort to ensure reliable operations, occasional problems may force us to alter or cancel our schedule.

Charters

Our historic streetcars can be chartered for any occasion for $75 per half hour. Please call 952-922-1096 or email us for more information or to reserve a charter. To expedite your request, please tell us your name, the name of your group, your address, your telephone number with area code, the date and time you're interested in, and approximately how many passengers we might expect. Streetcar capacity is 48 adults

Because the Como-Harriet and Excelsior Streetcar Lines are an all-volunteer service of the Museum, charters should be reserved at least two weeks in advance and payment should be received at least one week in advance of the date of your charter. The Museum reserves the right to decline to schedule a charter requested less than two weeks in advance of the proposed date and to cancel a streetcar charter for which payment has not been received one week in advance of the date of the charter.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Accessibility

The streetcars of the Como-Harriet and Excelsior Streetcar Lines are not wheelchair accessible.

Our crews are available to assist passengers with disabilities in boarding our streetcars to the extent possible.
