Platte Valley Trolley

Fun short ride with interesting info about Denver history. The enthusiasm of the conductor made the ride a lot of fun. I went with my father and wife and we all enjoyed ourselves. This would be good for families too (especially Thomas the Tank Engine/​train lovers).
By the way, the address on Unilocal is wrong. Use 1400 Platte Street and gps will take you right there.

My wife and I took the short trip on the trolley last weekend. It was cool (by very warm). Its nice along the river, get to see Mile High, learn a little history from the conductor. But it was hard to find. Next to REI and you can use that parking lot for free for two hours. Toot toot!

Choo-​Choo! Well, I guess it’s not really a train, it’s a trolley so it doesn’t Choo-​Choo. This is a fun little thing to do in Denver. It’s hidden away behind REI and I’m not sure if many people even know that this exists.
If you are looking for something different to do on a warm day I recommend the trolley. It’s a short ride, and a straight shot along the Platte River. I’m sure this is fun for the kiddos too.
Cheap-​Different-​Silly

Had a really fun time taking a short ride on the Trolley. We picked it up at REI, and it was just a fun diversion going by the stadium, and then back. I’m goofy for trains and history, and you get a fun dose of both on the Trolley.

Although I can’t say that if a guy took me on this thing for a date I would give him a smooch at the end of the night, I would think that it was slightly cute because it is so cheesy.
But let’s say that on our date he got stuck having to drag his little sister with us because mom and dad had to go out all of a sudden… And we took the trolley for her because she has always wanted to go and going with her big brother would be the best experience ever… If it happened like that, not only would it be more appropriate to ride the trolley, but I would definitely give him a smooch at the end of the night.
For only $ 5.00 you can take a trolley next to Platte River and enjoy cheesy tourist traps at its finest. Breeze by Confluence Park, REI, the Downtown Aquarium, the Children’s Museum and Mile-​Hi Stadium and get a different view of Denver than you usually get through you car window.
A cheese ball tourist trap, but I never knew that the trolley ever even moved… So you learn something.
