Union City, Tenn.–Since Discovery Park of America opened on November 1, 2013 our guest comments have had a recurring theme. Our visitors have requested “transportation around the grounds!” Discovery Park Director Mary Nita Bondurant said, “I’m happy to announce that we now have trams at Discovery Park of America! ”
The tram(s) will run from 10 am until 5 pm Tuesdays through Sundays. Tickets are five dollars for a pass that is good for the entire day. The trams stop at five locations around the grounds:
Tram Stop A- The Train Depot / Rotary Pavilion / South Lake / 1800’s Chapel area
Tram Stop B- Freedom Square / Military Garden / Covered Bridge area
Tram Stop C- STEM Landing / Discovery Center / The Settlement area
Tram Stop D- Ag Center / Antique Tractor Barn / Mill Ridge area
Tram Stop E- The Great Lawn / The Maze / The European Garden / The Japanese Garden area
Bondurant said, “We are super excited to announce the addition of these new trams and we are especially excited for our senior guests and those who have problems walking that they can now see the outside exhibits when they visit Discovery Park. ”
