Are you ready for a tour like no other?

Hop Aboard the Prescott Trolley and Have an Unforgettable and Scary Time

She will be joining Prescott Trolley on special nights throughout the year to provide the guests a scary time.

If you avail of this package or purchase a ticket, expect a 1.5-hour ghost tour that will let you in on the scariest stories and history of one of the United State’s most haunted towns, Prescott. There is no perfect time to visit because Prescott is full of ghosts and ghouls all year long.

There Is Also a Jolly Trolley Adventure This Christmas Season

Yes, Prescott Trolley has the power to make your Christmas that much sweeter! The Jolly Trolley Christmas Adventure treats you to Prescott lights views and a picture with Santa. Not only that, the hot chocolate and cookie are also included. For only $20 per person, you can already hop aboard and get in the holiday spirit with your conductor.

The fun starts at Downtown Prescott Garage at 135 S Granite St. Then, you will drive around the Courthouse Square while singing your favorite Holiday songs! Get in your best mood to really feel the Christmas spirit. On the way, you will see some of Prescott’s most historic homes along Vernon Street.

After that short drive, you will be taken to a winter wonderland experience at The Espresso Barn. This place is the gem if you are craving the best of local coffee and baked goods because it is a part-coffee shop and part-ice cream parlor. You can stay for a little while and enjoy the vintage and relaxed atmosphere which many Prescott patrons enjoy. The friendly baristas are dressed in their soda jerk attire, and would be more than happy to serve you with the best drink!

What’s next?

You will be asked to step back in time in the 50s-themed ice cream parlor before getting your sweet complimentary hot chocolate and cookies. We suggest you savor every bite so you can stay extra sweet when you meet Santa in the glowing Wonderland room. An elf will escort you to the big guy, so you better think about all the wishes and gift requests before he’s standing in front of you. Don’t forget to snap photos on your phone to cherish the wonderful memory.

While waiting for the trolley to depart, both kids and adults can also bounce on the outdoor bounce castle. We are not sure how long you’ll go at it, but the goal is for you to enjoy the whole experience!
