Birding with ease, hop on our silent tram!

Join a ranger on a relaxing ride on our silent tram in search of some of Goose Island's iconic shorebirds. Expect to learn about and identify birds seen on the route, which includes a stop at the bird viewing area. This program is designed for both novice and experienced birders. There will be optional opportunities to get off the tram and walk a short distance to view birds.
