Homestead Trolley to the National Parks
The Homestead National Parks Trolley Special Holiday service returns everyday from December 26 - 31, 2022. In addition to the holiday trolley service, the regular season trolley will run from January 7 - April 9, 2023 and will continue to offer a free guided trolley tour from Downtown Homestead to Everglades and Biscayne National Parks with an additional stop at Homestead Bayfront Park.
The City of Homestead, designated as the “Gateway to Everglades and Biscayne National Parks," created this pioneer program to offer free public transportation to Everglades and Biscayne National Parks by expanding its already successful local trolley service. In addition, both Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park have partnered to offer free Park admission to those on the National Parks Trolley. This ground-breaking project the first of its kind nationally to offer public transportation to two National Parks.
