Do they really expect people to keep driving when they're tired at night? That's a bummer and why I can't possibly rate it at five stars.

The center always has all the most current information about what is happening in the city and upcoming events. The also have several copies of the Charlotte Happenings magazine and another local magazine. I've seen some of the events they host outside their center and they really showcase the city in a great way. My favorite event was the Chef Alyssa's Kitchen demo they hosted. All of the employees inside the visitor center are super helpful and knowledgeable. The visitor center isn't very big but it packs a big punch. One of my favorite items it has is the candles from Doc Porters. They run out so you have to check in often to see if they have any. I recommend popping in anytime your downtown and need to know what's happening in the city!

Our family…read morerecently booked a trolley ride to transport us to Spencer NC's train museum for the Polar Express experience. We loaded up our whole family of 13, including 5 toddlers and we had a BLAST! The Trolley has been beautifully restored and incredibly comfortable. The owner, Hal, made sure we had a smooth and fun ride, playing Christmas music and making sure we were all having a fun time. He spent time with the kids showing them how different parts of the trolley worked and let them ring the bell. The excitement of riding the trolley honestly was as much fun if not more fun than the actual train ride to follow. We had such a wonderful time that we hired them again to take our family through Tanglewood's festival of lights. I can't imagine us going through the light show in any other way. Hal made sure to point out all of the displays that he knew the kids would enjoy. He also knew a great deal about the history of Tanglewood and shared a ton of interesting facts about how the park has changed over the years. The memories create on both of these rides will be cherished by our entire family and so happy we made the decision to go with Triad Trolleys! If you are looking for a fun way of exploring the Triad area or simply for a fun night out, I cannot begin to recommend enough renting one of their trolleys for your adventure! We will be using their services again and again!
