Seashore Trolley Museum announced the return of a fan favorite — Ice Cream Night. The summer tradition is held every Wednesday in July and August from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Guests are treated to a special evening trolley ride on the museum’s heritage electric railway through their wooded campus and an ice cream sundae with all the fixin’s.

Tickets are $12/each (children ages 2 and under are admitted free). Admission includes the trolley ride and ice cream sundae.
