What is Medicine Hat’s Sunshine Trolley?

The Sunshine Trolley is one of the most unique ways to see Medicine Hat. The trolley runs every Wednesday through Saturday. The trolley picks riders up at the Visitor Information Centre and goes past the Saamis Tepee, to Kiwanis Central Park, Historic Downtown, to Medalta for a stop and then finally to Strathcona Island Park. After the park, riders are taken back to the information centre after detours to see River Road and kin Coulee Park.
‍

What Should I expect?

The Sunshine Trolley makes stops at the local sites of significance identified in the schedule.

Those looking for more information on each site are encouraged to pack headphones, and listen along with Trolley Stories.

We will be offering guided tours with Barry Finkelman, Bill Cocks, Sally Sehn and Corlaine Gardner.

We provide young riders with a free scavenger hunt to complete along the journey.

I need a bathroom break! Help?!

We welcome all Sunshine Trolley riders to use the public bathrooms at the Visitor Information Centre before boarding. The bathrooms are open every day the trolleys operate.

The Trolley makes stops at the Esplanade and Medalta. Let your driver know you need to run inside and they will make it happen. Note: The Esplanade does not open until noon. If downtown before then, check and see if the Medicine Hat Public Library is open.
