<\/p>\nA new trolley tour is in town.<\/p>\n
Explore Edmonton has unveiled a new hop on, hop off trolley service to some of the Alberta capital\u2019s most unique and iconic spots.<\/p>\n
The Edmonton Explorer trolleys were brought in from Boston, and have been redesigned to have a classic 1920s look, with each of the two cars accommodating roughly 20 riders. Explore Edmonton plans to eventually expand the trolley system.<\/p>\n
The bus-like units, complete with driver guides, have that historic feel on the inside too, with wooden benches outfitted with leather cushioning and open-air windows.<\/p>\n
Nine participating attractions have partnered with the trolley service, including the Edmonton Riverboat, Fort Edmonton Park, and the Muttart Conservatory, where the trolley reveal took place.<\/p>\n
The trolley tours are part of Discover Edmonton\u2019s pass system that allows people to get into multiple attractions at a cheaper rate. Each trolley ride will take you to any of the partnered sites, with some rides running as long as 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Gary Poliquin with Explore Edmonton launches the Edmonton Explorer trolley service on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, an immersive initiative designed to make exploring Edmonton a more connected and convenient experience.<\/p>\n
The move aligns with Explore Edmonton\u2019s continued push to make the city a more desired destination for tourists. Edmonton Ward Sspomitapi\u00a0Coun. Joanne Wright said Edmonton is a growing destination city.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur river valley, vibrant arts and culture scene, welcoming communities, and unique attractions all help to make this a city worth exploring,\u201d said Wright, one of a handful of city councillors at the Wednesday launch.<\/p>\n
While the trolley has multiple routes, Wednesday\u2019s attendees toured the river valley and Jasper Avenue. The other route will take people as far as the Alberta Aviation Museum on Kingsway.<\/p>\n
The trolley tours officially open June 15, alongside the Discover Edmonton pass. A day pass is $39, redeemable at two locations of your choosing.<\/p>\n
