Reservations must be prepaid and masks are required.

The pricing structure is as follows: excursion only – adults $12; seniors (62+) $11; and children (3-17) $10. There is a $2 additional charge for touring the museum. Children two & under free.

ATV Riders To Be Prosecuted For Track Damage

The Lackawanna County Sheriff’s Department will be patrolling the Laurel Line main railroad track from Cedar Avenue, South Scranton, to Montage Mountain Road at multiple undisclosed times.

County and rail line officials will be enforcing a “Zero Tolerance Policy.” Citations will be issued to stop ATV riders and the public from trespassing, property damage, and theft along the rail line that has been happening too frequently.
