Ride Past Holiday Lights On Lawrence’s Jolly Trolley This December

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Grab your hot chocolate. Lawrence Township’s Jolly Trolley is back this holiday season.

The township Recreation Department is bringing back its holiday trolley ride on Friday, Dec. 18. The 45-minute ride takes passengers through Lawrence Township to see festive lights and decorations around town.

Riders can enjoy hot chocolate and holiday music as they pass some of Lawrence’s holiday displays.

Trolleys will leave from Town Hall at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. The township says the trolley leaves promptly, so plan to arrive on time.

Seats are given out through a lottery. Here’s what to know:

• Families can enter the lottery for up to four people. Submit only one entry per family.
• Choose one time slot when you enter.
• Enter online through the Google Form or in person at the Recreation Department office.
• Entries close at 9 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23.
• After the lottery closes, the Recreation Department will randomly select entries and contact the chosen families to complete payment. Families aren’t registered until payment is finalized.

The ride costs $12 per person, and fees are doubled for out-of-town riders. Children 2 and under ride free as lap passengers.

The trolleys aren’t wheelchair accessible. Families who need an accessible vehicle can ask to follow the trolley route in their own vehicle, according to the township.
