The District Trolley Tour is a unique opportunity to go behind-the-scenes and see innovation in action. The tour starts when you board the Trolley and meet your fellow passengers who have diverse interests and experiences but one thing in common - excitement for the Innovation District. As the Trolley makes its way through the District, your guide will share the history of the area and ideas that are incubating. You will make four stops on the tour. Each stop will highlight one of the District's pillars: life science, marine science, date/technology, art, entrepreneurship or education. You will have the opportunity to see innovative tools or research and talk with the experts.
