I was told the trolley only offered rides during the weekend, but I was fortunate to ride because of a cruise ship and tall ships that visited Astoria the day of my visit. A great trolley, conductor was informative, and rich in history

OK, the trolley is neat and gets you around. However, the single trolley is completely incapable of supporting everyone who wants to use it on cruise days. While the city does try to supplement it with some shuttle buses, they only go to the maritime museum. We ended up mostly walking all day, being passed by more than once by... More

You could quickly drive through this town in about 10 mins... but the trolley is much more fun! Travels right along the waterfront / prom, and the cheerful volunteers offer up a bit of history & places of interest. $1 each trip or $2 for an "all day" pass. Ride it in, walk the few blocks stores / eateries, and... More

We love to walk along the waterfront and always watch as the trolley goes by until we finally decided to take a ride! It was as fun as I imagined it would be each time the trolley passed us by as we were walking. Take my word for it, take the trolley down to Rogue and then walk back, it's... More

Such a fun way to see the Astoria waterfront. I have always wanted to do this when visiting Astoria. The trolley starts its run at noon every day I believe. It stops in different location along the river front and cost $1 pp. An all day pass is $2 pp. We just paid a dollar pp and rode the trolley... More

We were lucky the trolley stopped across the street from the home we rented. We caught the last trip of the day & glad we did. Well actually we missed the trolley due to the traffic light but they very kindly stopped a bit down the track from the stop & waited for us. The trolley was very nostalgic. Loved... More

The Riverfront Trolley is a great way to see waterfront Astoria, and hear interesting tales of the town's history, especially if you are squeezed for time. The children on board are often given the opportunity to ring the bell, and the volunteer conductors and brakemen are so friendly. The last time we rode, $2 per person would give you unlimited...

The trolley was a great way to see Astoria. We waited for about 20 minutes and by then there was quite a line behind us. It was so packed that we barely got a seat, but what do you expect when they only charge a dollar.

They let us jump aboard even though they were "training" the drivers...great, fun ride and can't believe it was only one dollar! Loved being in when it wasn't packed with people!
