Our Family Trolley Express is similar in spirit to our Signature Eau Claire Tour, just a bit shorter and more geared for kids 12 and under! Riders will hear stories about Eau Claire's lumberjacks and logging history as they ride through Carson Park, hear about the newly developing Cannery Park, pass through a hidden trail tunnel deep in the urban woods, see and hear about colorful murals and sculptures, play a bit of I Spy about town, and more!
