Whether we’re ready or not, the holidays are approaching and they are coming full speed ahead. Speaking of which, we have a holiday trolley activity that you can add to your holiday bucket list this year. Normally these red trolley tours showcase the beauty of St. Augustine, but for a few months every year, an entirely different side of America’s oldest city can be seen.
The St. Augustine Red Train Tours offer some of the best tours and excursions in the state of Florida.
While Ripley’s sightseeing tours are usually one of the best ways to see St. Augustine, during the holidays you’ll get to see America’s oldest city completely lit up at night.
The Night of Lights trolley tours are particularly exciting for families who get to climb aboard together, roast marshmallows in the marshmallow pit, and also view more than 3 million holiday lights from the comfort of your red trolley car.
All of the Christmas tours begin at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and take guests through St. Augustine to see some of the most festive pockets of the city.
Taking the holiday trolley tour on the weekends is when the city really comes alive — with live stage shows, holiday movies, a giant snow globe photo opportunities, and more.
The Nights of Lights tours begin on November 18th and run through January 3rd. The hours are Sunday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. To find out more information about the trolley tour and to reserve tickets, visit the website or Facebook Page.
