Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 10 minutes early to ensure a smooth boarding process and to enjoy the indoor waiting area before your "sleigh" ride begins.
- Consider booking a private tour if you have a larger group or desire a more personalized experience, as these offer extended cancellation policies.
- Check for any exclusive discount codes, like the 'CVB2Off' mentioned, to potentially save on your ticket price.
- Dress warmly, as the carriage ride takes place outdoors, and while festive, the Charleston evenings can be cool during the holiday season.
- Take advantage of the free Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) from the Visitor's Center if you are parking further away, as it provides convenient access to the Market area.
