Trade the shopping-center rush for the clatter of a historic streetcar. Holly TrolleyFest opens with Santa and Mrs. Claus, a woodland railway ride and a holiday model railroad, giving families a festive outing with something mechanical to marvel at. Crafts and photo opportunities add reasons to linger.

Make this the main stop of a relaxed Colesville day rather than squeezing it between errands. Allow time to explore the museum as well as meet Santa, and check ticket availability before setting out.
