The trolley is returning to downtown Sioux Falls, starting Friday.

Financial support from Sanford Health, Lewis Drug and Howalt+McDowell, a Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC, in partnership with Downtown Sioux Falls Inc. will fund the service through the summer of 2022.

“We didn’t think it was going to be possible to operate the downtown trolley service this summer,” said Joe Batcheller, DTSF president. “When Sanford Health stepped up to offer support, it got the ball rolling. We’re so thrilled to have the means to have the trolley service available now and for years to come.”

Trolleys will be available during peak visitor hours in downtown Sioux Falls. The “hop on-hop off” historic tours are $2 for adults, while children 12 and younger ride for free.

“We’re always proud to support services in our communities,” said Paul Hanson, Sanford Health executive vice president. “We know how much visitors love the Sioux Falls trolley service and couldn’t be happier to support it.”

Trolleys will operate from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.  Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday during the summer. Hours will shift to 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday for September through December.

The trolleys also will be available as a shuttle service between downtown and the Denny Sanford Premier Center for major events throughout the year.
