Trolley tours are worth it for tired kids.

Yes. If your kids are young enough to get tired walking, the trolley saves your day and your back.

You’re not paying for the tour narration or the scenic route. You’re paying to keep your kid from melting down halfway through the park. A tired toddler is a cranky toddler, and a cranky toddler ruins the whole trip for everyone. The trolley lets you cover more ground, skip some walking, and gives little legs a break.

If your kids are older and fine with walking, skip it. But with young ones, the extra cost is basically insurance against a miserable afternoon. Future You deserves a relaxing ride.
