Main entrance of Monterey Bay Aquarium with Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) trolley offering rides to and from the aquarium

Free trolley

Hop aboard the MST trolley for a fast, fun, and free ride to the Aquarium! The free MST trolley runs daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Trolleys depart every 10-15 minutes from downtown Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, and the Aquarium—it's a convenient way to beat the traffic!

Each trolley is equipped with a wheelchair lift for accessibility. Also, keep an eye out for the electric trolley in the fleet for an emission-free trip!
