Welcome!

Our 2011 Season has ended except for our Bronco Shuttles which will operate for every home game. Please visit the Bronco Shuttle page for details. A big Thank You to each and every one of our passengers who helped make this season so successful. We’ll see you all next year!

Community First Foundation has accepted us to participate in Colorado Gives Day on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. First Bank has given $300,000 and this money will be proportionately allocated across all donations received – increasing the value of each donation. At the end of each hour of this 24-hour event, a donor will be randomly chosen and the non-profit associated with his/her donation will receive a $1,000 cash award.

Please make any size donation to the Denver Tramway Heritage Society on Colorado Gives Day (Tuesday, December 6) by visiting GivingFirst.Org. Thank you!

The Platte Valley Trolley at Confluence Park

Ride an open trolley car along the scenic South Platte Greenway and see Denver from an open-air “Breezer”! Our Trolley operates past Confluence Park, REI, Downtown Aquarium, Children’s Museum and Invesco Field at Mile High.

Make a tax-deductable donation today to help with the urgently needed refurbishment of the Trolley car body! Read more about ways to donate or simply donate here via PayPal (which also takes credit cards):

Our operators are very knowledgeable about the history of the area in which we operate and delight in relating some interesting facts which even some of the locals don’t know.

Where can you go and what can you see and do on the Platte Valley Trolley™?

Join us for an enjoyable ride back in time before the Interstate and jet planes, back to the time when Grandma was a girl being courted by Grandpa as they took a ride on a Breezer! As our Trolley is an open-air “Breezer”, weather is a factor and we may not operate should the weather be very unfavorable.

You can email the Platte Valley Trolley™ or call us at 303-458-6255. Please note, we do not accept reservations for groups of less than 10 and we cannot accept mail orders or credit cards.

If you would like to join the Denver Tramway Heritage Society, fill out and mail us a membership application. If you live in the Denver area and would like to learn to operate our Trolley, call the office, e-mail us, or contact our volunteer coordinator and we will set up a training day for you. It’s really fun and if you have never done this, you are missing a great opportunity.

This is a photo of the original Denver Tramways sightseeing car sitting in front of the famous Brown Place Hotel. The picture was taken about 1906 and was used on the cover of sheet music entitled “Seeing Denver”. The fare back then was $0.50 for a 2 hour – 25 mile trip. While we cannot duplicate the original route, our “Breezer” proudly carries on the same tradition as you will see when you ride with us!
