Whether you’re planning a date night, girls’ night out, office party, or holiday celebration, this has quickly become one of Minneapolis’ favorite new Christmas traditions.
Unlike other holiday light tours that simply pick you up in a parking lot or outside a bar, every Holiday Light Ride begins inside the beautifully restored Pillsbury Club.
Arrive early to:
• Shop Minnesota-made gifts
• Enjoy handcrafted holiday cocktails
• Order dinner or appetizers
• Explore one of Minneapolis’ most historic mansions
• Relax before boarding your trolley
Many guests tell us the Pillsbury Club becomes one of their favorite parts of the evening.
While routes may vary throughout the season to showcase the best displays, your Holiday Light Ride travels through some of the Twin Cities’ most festive neighborhoods and holiday destinations.
Depending on the evening, you may experience spectacular residential displays, beautifully decorated historic neighborhoods, downtown Minneapolis holiday lights, iconic Minneapolis landmarks, seasonal displays, and many of the area’s most photographed Christmas decorations.
Because holiday displays change throughout the season, every ride offers something a little different.

This trolley tour was AMAZING! The guide (whose name we did not get, sadly) is the main driver/guide for the historical Mpls tours - amazeballs. He wore a red jacquard vest and tie- ASK FOR HIM. Three of the 4 of us on the tour were from Mpls and learned so much. Can't wait to take my other family in the Spring. Worth every penny.+8Posted on Google![]()

My daughter recommended the Trolly Ghost Tour. It did not disappoint!!! I booked the tour for me and a friend. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it to others. What really made it exceptional was the tour guide as well as the greeter/bar tender at the mansion. They were fabulous!!!Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommended! The historical trolley tour was fun and incredibly informative. The mansion is gorgeous. I could spend hours looking at all of the beautiful details inside this one-of-a-kind feast for the eyes. It is lovingly cared for and decorated. The trolley tour, itself, lasted about an hour. We saw so many Minneapolis landmarks. For me, it was the intimate stories and their delivery that really stood out. Thank you for a wonderful time! 100% will go on other tours with you all. Can’t wait to sign up for the haunted tour.+0Posted on Google![]()
