The tram is a professionally driven, taped tour, which highlights the 446 acres
of the U.S. National Arboretum’s gardens, collections and natural areas. Our
48-passenger open air tram is equipped to accommodate two wheelchair users. It also
features a convenient storage bay for strollers and other carry-on items.
During the 40-minute non-stop ride, you will hear an informative, taped narrative about the Arboretum, its history, mission, and research, and the display gardens and collections. Please allow time at the conclusion of your tour for an in-depth visit to some of the collections.
