FAQ

What if I have a Groupon?

You cannot make reservations with a Groupon certificate. Please come to the Angel Island Café and present your Groupon voucher (on your phone is fine) and we will give you a tram ticket. To guarantee a seat it is best to take the first ferry to the island.

Can you get on and off the trams?

Yes, but you are not guaranteed a seat once you get off. If you do decide to get off the tram, please let the driver know when boarding and retain you ticket.

Can I bring my stroller on the tram?

Only if there is room. If the tram is sold out you can leave the stroller behind the fence at the tram boarding area.

Do children enjoy the tram?

Most definitely! It’s fun and educational.

Does the tram tour go to the United States Immigration Station?

It stops briefly at the entrance but it does not go down into the station. If you choose to get off the tram at the USIS you can catch a shuttle back to the cove (they depart at 12:45 and 3:00 with pick ups at the bathroom) or you can walk back to the cove, which is less than a mile downhill :)

Do you offer group tour discounts?

No the prices are the same and please book online.

Do you offer military discounts?

Yes, 20% off with active military identification card
