I actually liked it. Very informative. Entertaining, the driver was good.well worth the price of admission. The visitor center had a lot of information and very helpful. I would recommend stopping by for options of activities available.
We have been wanting to do this for a few years now and it always sells out so we bought tickets this time at the beginning of October and we were so excited! We love Jacksonville and the history and have been on many Storytelling type history tours elsewhere, so we were looking forward to this. We weren’t expecting any great theatrical performances, just a fun time and maybe learn some new interesting stuff about Jacksonville. It was about $45 per couple after fees etc, claimed to be a 30 minute tour, so not cheap but we were looking forward to it. What we got was a “15 minute” ride on the Trolley with a pre-recorded story as our driver cruised through the little points of interest like he was in a hurry! There were people dressed up outside at the points of interest however you barely got to see them unless you were on the side of the trolley where they were and again, our driver just kept cruising past them. It was such a disappointment!
We arrived to the trolly 5 minutes before the time listed on the site for the next tour. Our 4 year old out of his mind with excitement, only to be told we could not step onto the trolly because the narrator had begun already. We stood eating the trolly sit at the loading curb for 5 minutes with the doors open before pulling away. Our family was extremely sad to not go. I am surprised that we would be refused even when we arrived early for the tour. If you plan to ride, arrive 15 minutes early.
Taking the Jacksonville Trolley for Halloween was great 30 min entertainment! The costumes and stories to go with them are delightful.
Wow this haunted trolly for Halloween week was a blast . These volunteers are awesome staying in character even though it was 36 degrees last night . They made some facts about jacksonville fun and strange . Wish they could have parked in front of the cemetery Love this trolley . Great driver . Great crew . Go jacksonville
