Looking to get into the holiday spirit? The Ripley’s Red Train is a great way to do just that. They offer tours every night of the week. We recently took the ride and had such a great time on board! The Red Train is a fantastic way to see St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights. The ride is complete with Christmas carols, a bit of history, candy canes and best of all your magic glasses! 20141202_202214

What are magic glasses you ask? We can’t tell you or we’ll ruin the surprise. All I can say is that my husband said they turned me into a little kid. I have had them in my purse ever since I got them and love looking at any light I can through them. Car headlights are my favorite.

What you can expect on the trolley is a great festive atmosphere. The night we were on we came across another train filled with boy scouts who were in the holiday spirit. We had a little friendly competition on which trolley could have more fun and yell out Merry Christmas to the people in the plaza the loudest. They won but everyone was surely having a great time with all of us on board and off.20141202_192658

This is a great tour for kids or adults. It surely will bring the kid out in everyone.
