Gatlinburg Winter Magic Trolley Ride Of Lights

Visitors can soak up the spirit of the season from the comfort of a Gatlinburg Trolley by taking the relaxing Gatlinburg Winter Magic Trolley Ride of Lights

November 9 - January 31, 2017

Downtown Gatlinburg

Admission: $5.00

The specially designated trolleys carry their guests on a memorable journey through downtown and adjacent Hwy. 321, allowing everyone to experience the magical wonder of Gatlinburg Winter Magic.  Trolley times are at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30.

Featuring one-of-a-kind LED lighting displays along Gatlinburg's famous downtown Parkway, adjacent River Road, and the triangle juncture of the two, the latest $1.6 million-plus rollout of custom designed and fabricated lighting displays are marked by sections reminiscent of winter forests, evergreens and romance.  The Hwy.321 route features an injection of bright displays as well. 

Displays featuring animals indigenous to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park including deer, foxes, squirrels and rabbits are part of the program.  Many of the timeless displays visitors have grown accustomed to over the past 23 years have converted to crisp LED as well.  Most recently, fanciful snowmen, dancing fountains, a group of international children and a shiny rocking horse have joined the lineup. 

You may pick up your FREE Driving Tour of Lights brochure and map at our Pigeon Forge Welcome Centers or at the Pigeon Forge Trolley Office.  You can also download the Driving Tour of Lights brochure and map here.
