Take a leisurely trolley ride around our 200-acre farm to see beautiful sights. Our Trolley Rides take approximately 45 minutes and are $5.00. There is not a charge for handheld infants. Be sure to get your tickets before the event as they tend to sell out. Order tickets now to avoid being disappointed if there are not any tickets left when you arrive for the day. We are selling half of the tickets before the event and the rest will be sold to walk ins during the event on a first come, first serve basis.
Please do not give me individual names for the tickets, order all tickets under one name so it is easier to check you in when it is time for you to get on the trolle
Times for the Trolley Ride are 10:30am, 11:45am, 1:00pm and 2:15pm.
