Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure, and pick up your tickets in person at Waterfront Gifts & Apparel before boarding.
- Dress in layers even though the trolleys are heated, since you'll be getting on and off outdoors on a December evening.
- Bring a blanket and a hot drink in a sealed thermos, because those are welcome aboard while other outside food and drink isn't.
- Add Ticket Assurance when you book if your plans might change, since tickets are otherwise non-refundable.
- Sort out downtown parking ahead of time, because there's no parking on site at the trolley.
Special Events & Promotions
- Ticket Assurance can be added at booking to make your tickets refundable.
