Tips for a Smooth Trolley Experience
1. Choose One Park Per Day
We do not recommend visiting both parks in a single day. Each park offers a full day of activities, trails, and experiences. Pick a park, pack a picnic, and enjoy the day at your own pace.
2. Check Return Times at Your Drop-Off Location
When the trolley drops you off, look for the posted return schedule sign at that stop.
Please make sure you meet the last return time listed—this is the only way to get back to Downtown Homestead using the trolley.
3. The Trolley Is Transportation, Not a Tour Bus
The trolley provides transportation to and from the parks, not continuous guided touring.
If you board the last departure from Downtown at 4:12 PM or 4:34 PM, you will not have time to explore the park before the final return trip. In this situation, you must:
- Find your own transportation back to Downtown OR
- Stay on the trolley for its complete route without disembarking
Plan ahead to make the most of your visit!
