Check out our Holiday Lights Tour Adventures and Photo Feature here, then book your own. This is a fun family evening and a great way to entertain visiting family and friends.
Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Co. ushers in the holiday season with the annual Holiday Lights Tour. A Chicago tradition for all ages, the Holiday Lights Tour explores the city’s iconic seasonal landmarks, such as the Macy’s Holiday Windows, Christkindlmarket and Lincoln Park ZooLights for a one-of-a-kind evening taking in the magic of the holidays. Each tour begins at the John Hancock Plaza Tree (875 N. Michigan Avenue), where riders board festively-named trolleys and then travel to Sprinkles Cupcakes to receive a complimentary handcrafted cupcake before heading down the Magnificent Mile to take in the glittering lights and begin the tour. The Holiday Lights Tour runs through December 23 and tickets ($18 - $49) are available now at ChicagoTrolley.com.
“Our Holiday Lights Tour celebrates everything we love best about Chicago and our winter season, complete with stops at destinations that both locals and visitors alike continue to make a part of their holiday traditions,” said Executive Director of Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Co., Walt Chadick. “The holidays can be a busy time for everyone, and our tour allows riders to sit back, enjoy a cupcake and take in Christkindlmarket, Zoolights and the Macy’s Holiday Windows in one evening ride that captures our outstanding seasonal sights.”
Throughout the 2 ½ hour lightly narrated tour, the Holiday Lights Tour begins at the John Hancock Plaza Tree and takes passengers past the Macy’s Holiday Windows, to The Loop’s famous German-inspired Christkindlmarket, which transforms Daley Plaza into a quaint German village with shopping and holiday treats. Next, trolleys will go over the river to the brilliant array of lights and music at Lincoln Park’s ZooLights, followed by a journey down Michigan Avenue for one last glimpse at the lights of the city. At both Christkindlmarket and ZooLights, passengers disembark from the trolley and explore two of Chicago’s classic holiday experiences.
