A great way for families to enjoy the colors of an upstate autumn is from the windows of a vintage electric trolley car at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush, NY. Rides operate Sundays only, October 5, 15 and 29 and are included free with admission to the museum. The 20-minute rides depart at 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30. No reservations required. There's more! Enjoy full size trolley cars, huge model railroad and the Midtown Monorail. The museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It's the highlight of the Halloween season! Ride the Halloween Trolley Express to the Pumpkin Patch to decorate your included baby pumpkin and enjoy delicious apple cider and donuts.
