Trolley Tales of Terror

All new chills and thrills!
Our historic ghost tour is returning for its second year!  Discover what sorts of spirits and specters might haunt our collection and then, if you dare, embark on a spooky streetcar ride through the forest.
Before you go, try one of FireWhistle Brewing’s delicious concoctions and enjoy some good eats from Santello’s Food Truck. Also, unleash your inner monster with Face Paint Pittsburgh! Choose something spooky, stylish, or gruesome- face paint sessions are free with event admission!
This event will run on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Sign up to be notified when tickets go on sale this summer.  Tickets will release to Museum Members 24 hours before the general public.
