Trolley tours offer unique way to learn about community’s past
Whether it’s stories about famous people and places, spooky mysteries, or true crime tales, Tourism Moose Jaw offers several trolley tours that will likely appeal to residents and tourists alike. There are three trolley tours available: daytime tours, ghost tours and true crime tours.
History buffs will love the historic daytime trolley tours, which are full of stories about people and places that have made Moose Jaw “notoriously awesome” for more than 100 years. Participants will learn about infamous characters, the community’s founding citizens and other wonderful people who contributed to history here. This is a one-hour tour in an open-air trolley, so visitors should dress for the weather depending upon the day and month. This tour is suitable for all ages. Costs for this tour are: Adults (19–65) $14.50, seniors (over age 65) $12.50, youths (13-18) $12.50, children (six to 12) $8, families $40 (two adults and one to four dependents), and kids under age five $2. While Moose Jaw is known as The Friendly City, Tourism Moose Jaw wants to share the community’s frightening side with its ghost trolley tours. Channel your inner gangster or flapper girl for a family-orient-
ed spooky ride around Canada’s Most Notorious City. This hour-long trolley ride features mostly true tales of spirits, supernatural occurrences and downright inexplicable situations. Some loud noises could bother some people, so tourists are advised to book at their discretion. Tourism Moose Jaw recommends this tour for those older than age eight. Tickets for this tour are $17 for those older than age 13 and $12 for those under 12. On the true crime tour, guests will learn about the darker side of Moose Jaw’s history. This tour tells the true stories of some of the most notorious residents who lived here. From pioneers and thieves to doctors and lawyers, the tour will share stories to make you sleep with one eye open.
Tourism Moose Jaw has completely revamped this tour by adding new stories to ensure guests who take the tour again won’t hear the same tale twice. This tour is for people older than age 16. Guests should book this trip using discretion, as some stories include gruesome details and loud noises. Tickets for this tour are $17.
