Stillwater Trolley brings guided trolley experiences to Stillwater, Minnesota, offering a mix of history, family-entertainment, and themed rides that run through the town and along the St. Croix River. The company operates four distinct trips: the Rivertown Terror Tour, the Princess of the St. Croix Valley, the Historic Tour, and the Storytime Trolley. Each trip is designed for a specific audience and includes features and durations.
The Rivertown Terror Tour is a 1-hour experience that starts at Charlie's Irish Pub, where riders can enjoy food and drinks before the tour. The Princess of the St. Croix Valley invites children to sing, hear stories, meet a surprise guest appearance by Olaf, receive a tiara during a coronation, and take a commemorative photo with the princess. The Historic Tour is a 45-minute narrated trolley ride that highlights Stillwater's past as a lumber hub, showcases Victorian mansions, the historic lift bridge, and views of the St. Croix River. The Storytime Trolley pairs a scenic ride with live storytelling at Pioneer Park, a snack, and a discount on a children's book.
Stillwater Trolley emphasizes described experiences so visitors know what to expect. Tours are narrated or led by presenters as indicated in each trip description. The trolley routes focus on notable local landmarks and family-oriented programming.
Reservations are recommended for themed trips and limited-seat events to secure space. Visitors planning group outings, family activities, or a unique local experience in Stillwater, Minnesota, can choose the trip that matches their interests and ages.
