Join us for a Seashore Fan Favorite -- Ice Cream Night! Held every Wednesday in July and August from 5:30PM-7:30PM, guests are treated to a special evening trolley ride on our heritage railway through our campus AND an ice cream sundae with all the fixin's!
Tickets are $12/each (children two and under are free). Admission includes the trolley ride and ice cream sundae.
Trolleys will depart at 5:30PM, 6PM, and 6:30PM. Example: if your ticket reads 5:30 - 6:30, your trolley leaves at 5:30. Your ice cream sundae will be after your trolley returns to the Visitor's Center. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your ticket's boarding time so you are ready to go at your ticketed departure time. (Walk-ins should arrive by 6:30PM to participate in the event).
Because Ice Cream Night is a fan-favorite, we encourage you to purchase tickets in advance. Eventbrite ticketholders are guaranteed a spot on the trolley during the ride you've selected. Tickets are also available at the door but you will be seated after Eventbrite ticketholders (or you may need to wait for the next ride/s to be accommodated).
This season we're giving back! As a nonprofit, we are so grateful for all of the support we receive from our local community and want to pay the support forward. We've selected 9 other local nonprofits who will benefit from Ice Cream Night in 2024 too! On their night, the nonprofit will receive 50% of all proceeds. This means that the nonprofit benefactor on the evening you purchase tickets for will receive $6 for every ticket sold to support their mission.
Check out our 2024 Benefiting Nonprofits:
July 3 The Center
July 10 Brick Store Museum
July 17 Habitat for Humanity York County
July 24 Friends of Wood Island Light
July 31 Kennebunk Free Library
August 7 Friends of Hope Cemetery & Woods
August 14 Kennebunkport Rotary
August 21 Kennebunkport Conservation Trust
August 28 Arundel Conservation Trust
Refund Policy: Ticketholders may receive a full refund up to 24 hours in advance of the event. Trolleys will operate rain or shine, but if there's a thunderstorm we will delay the effected trolley ride/s until it passes (and serve ice cream to guests first). If the weather is so inclement that we need to cancel a ride/s or the whole event, Eventbrite ticketholders will have two options: Take a rain date ticket for a future 2024 Ice Cream Night event, or donate the amount of your ticket purchase to Seashore and the benefiting nonprofit of that evening (and you will receive a donation receipt for your taxes). If you pick to come back on a future Ice Cream Night date, the nonprofit benefactor of the original night you purchased tickets for will still receive 50% of your groups' ticket proceeds. We'll communicate with all impacted ticketholders if a weather scenario actually occurs this season.
