Holiday Trolley: Catch the Gingerbread Man
Embark on a whimsical ride through downtown Salem with the Good Witch of Salem during the annual Gingerbread Man Trolley Adventure. The journey begins at the Good Witch’s shop with an interactive story time featuring motions, props, and baking tools to bring the tale to life.
After learning how gingerbread cookies are made, one cookie may just spring to life and disappear into the streets. Attendees will hop aboard the Holiday Trolley in search of the runaway Gingerbread Man, spotting clues and surprises along the route.
The festive ride includes music, dancing, instruments, and a special stop at Salem Common to leave treats for Santa’s reindeer. If all goes well, the Gingerbread Man might be caught just in time—before the Fox appears. The adventure ends with gingerbread cookies for all and a sprinkle of magic from the Good Witch herself.
Rides @ 10:30AM, 12:30PM, 2:30PM
