About the event

The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year: Who Sleighed Santa?
WHO SLEIGHED SANTA? …and why? Will it be a HOLLY TROLLEY CHRISTMAS without Santa? “It’s The Most Wonderful CRIME of the Year!”

What started out as a seasonal night-time ride with Christmas Caroling and Cheer becomes a Holiday-Themed Song-Filled WHODUNNIT aboard an old trolley where everyone is a suspect and anyone could be guilty.

This interactive theatrical experience returns to the Shore Line Trolley Museum, 17 River Street in East Haven for a special limited run holiday event over 2 weekends. It’s a live mystery that includes the audience-participation show plus the ride itself.

Limited to only 40 passengers per adventure, the event includes a pre-ride orientation and introduction to the plot followed by an immersive 30-45 minute show/program combining a (possible) murder, thrills, theater, holiday themes, embarrassing singalongs, and a heavy dose of comedy. Oh yes, and Santa will be there!

2 WEEKENDS ONLY: FRIDAY DECEMBER 12 and SATURDAY DECEMBER 13 and FRIDAY DECEMBER 19 and SATURDAY DECEMBER 20. ONLY 3 RIDES PER NIGHT: 7pm, 8pm, 9pm.

Expect fun + mystery + laughter + Christmas carols + a great ride! Oh yes, and prize giveaway!

Admission is only $29 per person (in advance only) with timed admissions Friday or Saturday at 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm. There is also a limited number of $49 V.I.P. upgrade tickets which entitle guests to first boarding – choice of priority seating aboard the Trolley – plus a free souvenir logo shirt. PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR BORDING TIME.

Open to all ages – except those youngsters who believe in Santa and may get traumatized by the mystery. Under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
