For safety, any drinks in glass bottles must be transferred into supplied non-glass cups before consumption. A valid ID is required at check-in to ensure age restrictions are maintained.
Trolley Tour Details and Attractions
The trolley ride itself lasts approximately three hours and includes a journey through some of Philadelphia’s most well-known holiday attractions. While routes and stops may vary each night, possible sites include Christmas Village, Miracle on South 13th Street, and Franklin Square’s Electrical Spectacle.
