Ride Into The Season On a Chicago Trolley Holiday Lights Tour

Chicago’s Favorite Festive Tour Returns This Friday

Swallow down that last forkful of turkey, because starting this Friday, November 24, it’s officially appropriate (and wholly encouraged) to be completely in the holiday zone. The best initiation? Hopping on board a Chicago Trolley for the annual Holiday Lights Tour.

Underneath the John Hancock Center’s shining Christmas tree awaits a holiday trolley adorned in Christmas lights that will take you on a two-and-a-half hour excursion through brightly lit shopping districts in the Loop, stopping at the famous Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza, then heading to illuminated holiday fun at ZooLights, before circling back to the John Hancock Center. Even better? You can enjoy a complimentary Sprinkles cupcake along the way.

Holiday Lights Tours hosted by Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co. take place on November 24 – 26, December 1 – 3, and December 8 – 23, with time slots at 5:30pm, 6pm, and 6:30pm. Adult boarding passes are $29 and kids’ (5-15) boarding passes are $18, and passes are also good for one Hop On and Off tour. We recommend ordering pre-sale tickets now, as tickets are often limited on the day of the tour.

Keep in mind, refunds are not provided for unused tickets, and tour routes and times are subject to change. Make sure to bring a copy of your ticket purchased online when you board.
