Triad ECO Adventures invites families to experience an engaging, easygoing day aboard the Jolly Trolley in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This thoughtfully designed outing turns a conventional park visit into a lively circuit of green spaces and sweet stops, perfect for kids and adults alike.

Winston-Salem, located in the heart of the Piedmont Triad, blends urban charm with pockets of natural relief.

Onboard, chilled water keeps everyone refreshed, making it easy to stay hydrated while kids enjoy the ride.

The capacity is intimate—holding up to 14 passengers—to keep things personal and manageable. Tickets are required in advance, and with a minimum group size policy, it encourages social rides and shared moments.
