Summer in Medicine Hat means bright skies, warm breezes, and endless opportunities to explore. Whether you live right down the street or are visiting for the weekend, adding a trolley ride to your itinerary guarantees a memorable experience. The Sunshine Trolley offers a fun and effortless way to see the city.
What to Expect on the Trolley
Every ride features an in-depth guided tour led by a long-time local. You get a personal perspective on the city as you roll comfortably past its most prominent landmarks. Keep your camera handy for the World’s Tallest Saamis Tepee, the National Historic Site Medalta in the Historic Clay District, and Alberta’s oldest brick residence, the Ewart-Duggan house.
The journey goes beyond just pointing out buildings. You will learn the rich history of the neighbourhoods and streets along the way. Riders are also invited to hop off and briefly explore these key areas up close to fully appreciate the local culture. With several new specialty guided tours currently offered, there is a uniquely themed ride perfect for every interest.
A Family Fun day for All
Families can easily build a day of adventure around the route, especially since children 12 and under ride entirely free. All trolley rides start with a convenient pick-up at the Visitor Information Centre, located at 330 Gehring Rd. SW.
The newest trolley is completely wheelchair friendly. You can easily book a wheelchair-specific seat online to ensure a smooth, comfortable boarding process for walkers and mobility devices. If you want to elevate your summer gathering, you can also book a private trolley tour for weddings, group sightseeing trips, or special events.
Make your summer adventure unforgettable by securing your ticket today. Keep up with the latest tour announcements and seasonal updates by following the Sunshine Trolley on Facebook and Instagram.
