I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… everyone in New Jersey should take a trip to Cape May at least once. The beautiful beach town is loaded with charm and makes a fantastic getaway all year long. There’s a rich history, incredible architecture and so many interesting activities to enjoy. One of those activities is a Cape May Trolley Tour.

TripAdvisor/Don B. If you’ve ever been to Cape May, you’ve probably seen quaint red and green trolleys rolling about. What you may not realize is that these trolleys offer a variety of unique tours that immerse visitors in the history and culture of Cape May.

Founded in 1970, MAC has done so much for the city over the years. They’ve restored notable landmarks including the Emlen Physick Estate and Cape May Lighthouse, launched the Cape May Music Festival and offer a wide selection of events year-round. Their volunteers are dedicated and knowledgeable, offering top notch trolley tours.
Tour Options
Flickr/Mid-Atlantic Center For The Arts What I love most about the MAC trolley tours is that there’s something for everyone. Options include a Welcome To Cape May tour for first time visitors, Ghosts Of Cape May tour, focused on the city’s supernatural residents and a Mansions By The Sea tour highlighting the Victorian architecture of the area. You’ll also find the Cape Mayhem interactive trolley tour which allows passengers to explore some of the area’s strange superstitions and curious events, historic tour, children’s tour and lighthouse tour. During the holiday season, enchanting Christmas trolley tours are available.
More Info
Flickr/Mid-Atlantic Center Arts Tours run year-round and are very affordable; most are $15 for adults and $8 for children. Certain tours are offered free to MAC members; a joint membership costs just $40 per year and offers other benefits, as well. I’d gladly take every tour, each is so unique. Tours depart from and return to the Washington Street Mall information booth.
