The trolley departs northbound from Rotary Peace Park, across from the S.S. Klondike, and southbound from Spook Creek Station. Passengers are welcome to disembark and re-board along the route at the various stations. This interpretive ride describes the Whitehorse waterfront’s fascinating history including the stories about the W.P. & Y.R. line and the mighty stern-wheelers that plied the Yukon River. « less

My grandchildren love to ride this Trolley. It is open only in the summer. It is a treat to visit with tourists and just enjoy my grand children's innocent excitement of this simple ride up and down our beautiful river front. More

Tried to stop in to get information at Roundhouse - person just looked at me through window, then finally answered, gave me wrong directions as well as information about the city and was overall quite rude. Did not give off friendly tourist vibe the rest of the city did! More

I am very sorry that you received poor service. We open May 14th, so I am surprised you caught anyone in the office in April. The Trolley is meant as a fun tourist attraction and a helpful guide to the city, and I hope we can make it up to you next time you visit the Trolley or need some... More

Nice staff, but a very boring ride. Just $0.5 more can get you anywhere in town. I recommend just walking. More

We are sorry you didn't have an exciting ride on the Trolley! We aspire to make this breathtaking waterfront trip an educational AND fun experience for all ages, which you don't get from public transit. We hope you can give us another try in the 2012 season. More

Everyone should hop on this at least once. It's a great little trip from the Klondike to past Shipyards park and back. The drivers are friendly and give you a bit of history about Whitehorse. Kids and parents both love it. More
