Q&A

Q: Can I bring my own drinks on the trolley, or is it just what they provide?

A: You can only have the complimentary drinks they serve at the Trolley Cottage before boarding. Once you're on the trolley, no outside drinks are allowed. It’s a fun way to enjoy a drink while checking out the art, but keep that in mind!

Q: Is there parking close to the Trolley Cottage?

A: Yes! There’s free parking available near the Trolley Cottage. Just look for the signs when you get close. It can get crowded during peak hours, so I’d recommend arriving a little early to snag a good spot.

Q: What should I wear? Is it casual, or are there dress codes?

A: Keep it casual! Most people wear comfortable clothes since you'll be hopping on and off the trolley. Sandals or comfy shoes are a must. Just remember, it’s January through April, so check the weather to dress accordingly.

Thinking of gifting the Sarasota Art Crawl Trolley Tour!

I’m considering getting my sister tickets for the Sarasota Art Crawl Trolley Tour. She's really into art and enjoys wine, so I think it’d be perfect! I love that they donate part of the ticket price to the Arts & Cultural Alliance. Has anyone done this before? Is it worth it?

Just got back from the Art Crawl Trolley Tour—here's my take!

I just did the Sarasota Art Crawl Trolley Tour last weekend and it was a blast! The galleries were all so different and unique. I really appreciated the complimentary drinks at the Trolley Cottage. The vibe was super chill, and the trolleys made it easy to hop from one spot to another. I'm definitely doing this again! Highly recommend it for a group outing!
