Philadelphia Trolley Works Tour

Location: 1119 N. Bodine St., Philadelphia

Time: Varies

Cost: Adults $18

The trolley is to Philadelphia what the cable car is to San Francisco, so visitors may want to climb aboard an historic Victorian trolley to experience the sights and sounds of this wonderful city.

Philadelphia Trolley Works offers daily city tours aboard their beautiful open air trolleys to visitors who hope to get a good overview of the city before adding specific attractions to their itinerary.

Visitors may choose a 90-minute fully-guided City Tour, narrated by informative guides who are well-versed in the city's past and present.

Purchasing an all-day pass will give visitors the privilege of disembarking at any of the trolley's 18 stops, such as Independence Hall, most of Philadelphia's museums and the waterfront, and climbing back aboard when its time to visit a new location.

The trolleys run every day except Christmas and New Year's Day and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Philadelphia tourists may also enjoy a jaunt to picturesque Fairmount Park, the largest city park-system in the world. Highlights of this tour include the zoo, the art museum, Boathouse Row, and Fairmount Park's seven historic homes, including guided tours of two of those homes when available.

Use Philadelphia Kids and make Philadelphia fun for the kids...and you!
