Galveston Trolley
Hop On for Easy Island Adventures
The Galveston Island Trolley offers a fun, convenient, and affordable way to explore the island’s top destinations. For just $1 per adult, you can hop between Historic Downtown and the scenic Seawall with ease.
Two Trolley Experiences
Rubber Wheel Trolley (Daily) These classic, air-conditioned trolleys run seven days a week along both routes, making it easy to move between the beach, attractions, and Downtown at your own pace.
Rail Trolley (Seasonal Hours) These vintage streetcars roll along actual tracks through Historic Downtown, offering a charming and genuinely local way to experience the island. Hours vary by season, running daily in summer, Thursday through Sunday in spring, and Friday through Sunday in winter. Check the schedule before you visit so you don't miss it.
