I mentioned to Stacy that I wanted to go to Kenosha to see the museums this year and we decided it would make a good Girls’ Weekend. I sent her my Kenosha/Racine Bucket List and she worked out a rough outline of the weekend. One of the things on the bucket list was ride the Kenosha Streetcar.
Kenosha Streetcars have been in use since 2000. There are eight streetcars from around the US. It is $1.00 each way to ride the 2-mile loop around downtown. You can get an all-day pass for $3.50. You can pick up the streetcar at various stops around downtown.
We picked up the streetcar near the Dinosaur Museum and rode it into downtown by the farmer’s market. It was a pleasant ride especially since a theater group serenaded us with songs from their upcoming show.
We wanted to take the streetcar back to the Dinosaur museum but it was taking forever and we decided to walk and nearly beat it back to the museum. So it’s not always the quickest mode of transportation depending on traffic.
I would definitely ride the streetcar again especially if we are going to spend most of the downtown. However depending on how often we’d ride, I would look into the daily pass because to come up with a dollar each ride was difficult. Stacy was literally counting dimes and nickels since neither of us had anything smaller than a $20. A ride on a streetcar no matter where is always a blast from the past and something everyone should do at least once.
