Eau Claire's Chippewa River Trolley is expanding its holiday schedule this year. The company has added three new tours for the season, joining a lineup of returning rides that run from late November through December.
The new Sweets & Treats Trolley Tour is a three-hour ride built around local flavors and festive stops, running Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout December aboard the heated, vintage-inspired trolley.
Also new is the Christmas Tree Trolley, a two-and-a-half-hour trip to a tree farm where riders can cut their own tree, have it loaded onto a trailer behind the trolley, and ride back to The Local Store. It runs the weekend after Thanksgiving and the first weekend of December.
Returning favorites include the 75-minute Holly Jolly Christmas Trolley with local holiday stories and lights, the 50-minute Schoolhouse Christmas Trolley Express to the Sunnyview School House in Carson Park for a visit with Santa, and the adults-only Holiday Cocktail & Chocolate Tour and Bad Santa tavern tour on Fridays and Saturdays.
A third new offering, the Merry Makers crafting tour to three local maker destinations, is listed as coming soon for Wednesday and Friday mornings in December. Full schedules and tickets are available through the trolley company's website.
