Steamtown occasionally offers special excursions throughout the year. In January 2005, the Park ran an excursion to Tobyhanna for an Ice Harvest Festival!

Bus
Both and Martz Trailways service Scranton from a central bus terminal in downtown Scranton. This terminal is located on Lackawanna Avenue across from the main vehicle entrance to the Park. The most convenient walking access, however, is via the Mall at Steamtown, also across the street from the bus terminal.
(Note: The pedestrian bridge connecting the Mall at Steamtown with Steamtown NHS is private (Mall) property, and is generally closed during winter months and during other periods of extreme weather conditions.)
COLTS (County of Lackawanna Transit System) provides local bus service to Scranton and all of Lackawanna County. (570) 346-2061 or 876-1256 for schedules and more information.
