Private and Party

Charters 

​Private and Party Charters are available on weekdays, and at select times on weekends.  Private charters can been used for:
  • Birthday Parties - for all ages
  • Bachelorette and Bachelor Parties
  • Business Outings / Team Building
  • Weddings
  • Anniversaries
  • Social groups 
  • Family reunions
  • ​Office parties​​

​You can customize a chartered event with your own or special food, displays, presentations, entertainment or other features. 

Experience history as  you ride on the last 7 miles of Southeastern Wisconsin's interurban system on a vintage trolley or interurban car.  Start your trip at our East Troy Depot so you may visit the museum and gift shop and use the restrooms before boarding.  ​If you wish to eat before or after the charter you can bring or arrange for your own food/cake/drinks  using the picnic tables at the Depot. 

For special occasions, table arrangements may be reconfigured for special needs, such as making room for musical groups, presentations and displays, or that giant birthday cake. 


Most trolley and interurban cars hold between 35 and 50 passengers.  Multi-Car trains can accommodate up to 150 riders.  Multiple trains can be arranged for groups over 150 riders.  
Pricing
Charters have a flat rate $700 for groups 1-50 in a single car.  Multiple car trains (or multi-train charters) can be arranged for an additional $700 fee per car.  Schools/Educational have a discounted flat rate.  25% deposit required at time of booking (Education waived).  For groups of 10-30 an economical alternative is to purchase group tickets on a regularly scheduled train. For more information on group pricing click here.

Timing
​Charters usually run for two to two-and-a-half hours but may be planned for longer (at an additional charge). We recommend starting your trip at our East Troy Depot so you may visit the museum, gift shop, restrooms, discuss any last minute details, and board for your trip.
