Trolley rides to the pumpkin patch depart on our heritage railway from our Visitors Center at 9:45AM,10:30AM, 11:15AM, 12:00PM, 12:45PM, 1:30PM, 2:15PM and 3:00PM. Following a 30-minute ride, guests disembark the trolley at the pumpkin patch, where each member in your group can select a pumpkin to take home, even the adults! Guests hop back on the trolley for a ride back to our Visitors Center, where several museum and family activities are available:
Activities include:
Pumpkin Painting! Paint your pumpkin at our pumpkin painting station. Leave it out to dry while you enjoy other activities.
Craft in a Bag! Make it at the event or take it home with you.
Prize Walk! Round and round a circle of pictures you go; when the music stops, find a picture to stand next to. We spin the wheel and if your picture comes up, you win a prize! Play as many times as it takes to win.
Photo Scavenger Hunt! Take the Seashore Challenge and go on a photo scavenger hunt around campus, using your phone to document your progress. When you’re finished, post them to one of our social media pages, and you will be entered for a chance to win a 2025 Seashore Family Membership.
Enjoy our Museum! Explore three carhouses filled with beautiful, restored trolleys and several other precious transit artifacts around our outdoor campus. Check out our new Maine Central Model Railroad Building.
Costumes are Encouraged at our event! We will be giving out prizes each day for Best Costume, following a social media contest. If you would like to participate, make sure one of our staff takes your photo (and we’ll be walking around to make sure we don’t miss anyone).
Food trucks will be present every Saturday and Sunday event day. This year our food truck will be Bubba Frye’s on the Fly! The museum has several picnic areas and you are welcome to bring a lunch to enjoy outdoors, or inside our Exhibit Room.
