Follow the eggs to find the Easter Bunny! The young and young at heart will partake on a wonderful ride to the Easter Bunny’s “secret burrow” in vintage antique real trolley cars, where there will be plenty of hidden eggs to find. All the little ones will receive a basket of their own to collect any magical eggs that are found.

Tickets are $30.00 per person. Tickets must be purchased in advance and all passengers, regardless of size, age, or seating location (seat or lap), must have a ticket.
