    It was really nice. $5 for adults, which isn't horrible. The drivers are all volunteers. We had Wesley and Quinn. Really nice guys. Wesley was the tour guide and had some fun facts and jokes for the trip. It was really nice. 😊

    Very short ride from REI to the broncos stadium 00for us just to say we did it. It is the last trolley In denver and there is a commentator on board telling about history and sights. It has Pullman style seats where they get to the children's museum and they flip the seats so you face the other direction going back to rei. It does not go any further than the broncos stadium. It has stops at the children's museum and one other place to get off at. It costs about 7 for adults and children 3 and under ride free.

    The Denver Trolley is an under appreciated gem near REI and Starbucks. The gentlemen we had were polite, funny and respectful. The reversible seating once you hit the end of the line was awesome. If you wanna get to the children’s museum or even Denver Broncos home games, take this trolley.

    Great little experience. We love the people who volunteered to talk about downtown Denver Dave and Bruce. We paid $25 for a family of 7

    Caught the trolley at REI. Quickly bought tickets and made it on to get to The Eras Tour. So fun riding with everyone, definitely beats walking!

    It's an old trolly. The tickets were fairly priced. The conductors were cheerful and very pleasant. Corny jokes my son and I had a great time

    I absolutely loved this little trolley experience. The ride isn't long but the workers have cheesy funny jokes and give lots of fun facts about Denver and the area surrounding the trolley ride. Kids will definitely enjoy this!

    Very friendly workers that made our kids happy! The ride was nice and informative and something fun to do on a nice day if you haven’t been before.

    Awesome trip with a little one. Great narrators and they even let the kids ding the bell after the trip.

    This was so fun. It's a cheap, enjoyable way to get a short tour (or take a quick shortcut to activities). Highly recommend if in the area, especially with young kids.

  • 5/5 Georgie P. 9 months ago on Google • 82 reviews
    What a cool addition to downtown Denver! Bringing back some history in a fun and affordable ($7 adult, $3 kids, kids under 3 free) experience. It takes you from Confluence Park right outside REI all the way to Mile High and back. You can get off in between at the children’s museum too! Would highly recommend this great piece of Denver history

    If you're in town during their summer season, it's a lovely quick 30 minute scenic history of Denver. Love taking visitors for a tour on the trolley and then a bite at My Brother's Bar.

    I've been taking the trolley to Broncos games for a very long time. The staff is wonderful and it's a treat to ride a piece of a Colorado history.

  • 5/5 John B. 8 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    A beautiful piece of history close to downtown Denver. Only $7 to ride the entire Roundtrip. My only suggestion is to sit away from the motor which is located on the north end of the trolley. It makes it impossible to hear the conductor talk about the trolley and the sites.

  • 5/5 Katie S. 6 years ago on Google
    Really fun for the kids. Mine ages 14, 11, 8, and 4 loved it. Friendly staff, people who really enjoy what they do. We were from out of town and it was fun to learn a little Denver history along the ride. Reasonably priced and centrally located to many family friendly attractions.

    Haven’t rode it but happy there’s a great tradition still around! On the bucket list!

  • 5/5 Shelly F. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such an easy way to get to and from Empower Field. I wish it ran for more than 45 minutes after the game because I didn't have time to get to the team store. Otherwise it was great!

  • 4/5 Jake H. 10 months ago on Google
    Quirky, quaint way to experience Denver. For $7, you can ride the trolley and hear some of its history. (The history lesson begins in 1858, so there is that.)

    Great little trip. Got free ticket through my public library and had perfect weather!

  • 5/5 Danise D. 10 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Very entertaining ride on an old trolley. The conductors were fun and energetic, interacting with the riders with facts and information for both visitors and natives. Short ride apx. 30 min. but very fair price. A must do when visiting downtown.

    This is a very clean and friendly place to shop. I always enjoy coming here.
