    Love the all-volunteer Como-Harriet Streetcar Line and the joy and creativity they bring to the city, Lake Harriet and Linden Hills neighborhood, no matter the season. Thanks to all the motormen, building/grounds and track crews who lovingly maintain and improve this classic streetcar line. No small feat!

    What a great little ride. It last for about 7 minutes one way and 5 the other way. It was only $3 per person! The trolley leaves every 15-20 minutes so don’t stress if you miss it. There are no scheduled times the train leaves. It’s a quick comfortable trip. Have fun! All aboard!

    Amazing high quality restoration of historic/original Minneapolis street car. Wish track was longer than 1 mile. Town should work to loop a Lake with track. The guys who we met were volunteers, super kind, nice, informative...just awesome people doing an awesome job for their community! Totally worth a visit & ride.

    I Highly Recommend taking Children on the Trolley Ride. It's about a 10 or 15 Ride and Very Affordable. I think it was a dollar per kid and free for small children. It Even stops at a Trolley Gift Shop. The kids all were able to Toot The Horn on The Trolley.

    Great experience. It is a single train car ride for 15-20 min. Totally worth for the price of $2.50

    Great historic activity! Short trolley ride with great views of the lakes. Short enough to keep everyone’s attention and only $3 per person!

    Dad was a member of MTM for many years and included me in a lot of the work and fun behind this operation. Tonight, 85 year old dad and I went to see if anyone still remembered him. Maybe get a ride. He ended up having the time of his life when he was asked to give an impromptu talk to the passengers about some of the history of 1300 and the streetcar line. He's still got it and beyond being a great attraction, these are some of the best people around! Thanks for making such a special evening!

    The Santa experience was just wonderful. We stayed warm and got hotdogs and s'mores from the Scouts. The Santa was top notch. My kids aren't comfortable going up to mall Santas, but still wanted to visit one, and this was perfect. He did such a great job giving each child attention and just as much as they wanted and took pics with whoever wanted them.

    I just adore our trolley! My favorite time is the trolley and station at dusk. Warm yellow light from the cheery windows of the platform station house last night as if 100 plus years had not passed by ❤️

    Fun for any rail fans. Very pleasant staff

  • 5/5 Nicole W. 10 months ago on Google
    Such a great historical experience. We took the trolly from the stop by lake Bde Maka Ska and rode it to lake Harriett. Our 1.5yr old had an absolute blast and it was very educational for the adults as well. Bonus that we got Sonny’s ice cream at the bread and pickle!

    This short reconstructed portion of line winding through a forested section of land near the lake is a brief trip back in time. The car is beautifully restored with period ad copy. The volunteer staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. For a few bucks it's a neat way to connect with the history of transportation across the metro area.

    Highly recommend a ride on the streetcar. Very informative and fun for all ages, especially the little ones.

  • 5/5 andrea d. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m embarrassed to say that it took me 8yrs of living in the neighborhood to ride this trolley. Don’t be like me - I missed out on years of cheap, wholesome, nostalgic, adorable and earnest FUN. And getting to know the lovely and dedicated volunteers who run it is an added bonus. Makes me glad to live in this neighborhood.

    What a great place to visit for young kids & young at heart! Everyone is friendly, the ride on the trolley is short, but relaxing. It is a neat experience for the family!

    My family has lived in this neighborhood for generations. My dad is one of the motormen on this line. My kids and grandkids got to see him operate the streetcar, and share the history.

    We had our wedding at the Como Harriet Streetcar Line last summer. It was truly an intimate, beautiful experience. The streetcar was so fun to take pictures on, and it was so affordable. Leah, Jennifer and Zach were very accommodating and we have a special place in our hearts for this place. Now we can take a ride every anniversary for fun. I would recommend for any type of private party. Wonderful experience 10/10

👍👍 Had a great experience at this stadium watching Rammstein. Security was efficient and friendly. Had some fried cheese curds that were the best I have ever had. Prices for concessions suck though. The concert it's self sounded great. However the music playing before the show could barely be heard....
