Discover Edmonton’s Stories & Landmark Attractions
Trying to navigate a new city on your own can take the fun right out of exploring. We make getting to Edmonton’s best spots unique and easy.
Step aboard our vintage 1920s-style Molly Trolleys, where friendly local guides share the stories, history, and hidden gems that bring Edmonton to life. As the official ride of the Discover Edmonton Pass, we make it easy to connect West Edmonton Mall, downtown, and the River Valley into a seamless, stress-free adventure—whether you're here for a quick day trip or a full long weekend.
We proudly acknowledge that our route traverses Amiskwacîwâskahikan. We are committed to honoring this land’s history as both an ancient, foundational gathering place and a vibrant, ongoing home for the Cree, Nakota Sioux, Blackfoot, and Métis Nations, ensuring your time with us is both historically rich and culturally immersive.
