Chicago Trolley Co. celebrates the holiday season with their enchanting “Holiday Lights Tour,” bringing the magic of the city to life as passengers experience the thrilling lights and sights of Chicago. Running Friday - Sunday evenings Nov. 23 – Dec. 23, and daily Dec. 26 – 31, Chicago’s version of a caroling sleigh ride whisks passengers through the festive lights and holiday spectacles of wintertime in Chicago, including views of the Magnificent Mile, State Street & Macy’s Holiday Windows, the John Hancock Plaza tree, Navy Pier’s Winter Wonderfest; and stops at two of Chicago’s favorite holiday sights—the Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza and Lincoln Park’s Zoo Lights. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available online at www.chicagotrolley.com.
We've been pitching this one since before tickets first went on sale Monday, Oct. 29, but if for some reason you still haven't booked ahead...here's one more reminder. Don't wait till they're sold out and get left out in the cold!!
“It is always the goal of Chicago Trolley to give passengers the ultimate tour of the city and the wintertime holiday season is no exception,” said President of Chicago Trolley Co. Rob Pierson. “The holiday lights tour allows passengers to get a glimpse of the beauty and magic that is on display throughout Chicago and is the perfect holiday tradition for the entire family.”
The “Holiday Lights Tour” is a lightly narrated 2-hour tour showcasing the best of Chicago’s holiday lights and sights. Passengers will ride a festive Trolley, decked out in tune with the season, and have time to hop off at both the Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo and the Christkindlmarket, a traditional German American Holiday Market with distinctive crafts, artistic glass ornaments, delicious sweets and holiday food and drinks. Passengers will also enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and a brownie at the John Hancock Building.
