Yes, the Holiday Lights tour is family-friendly and great for kids, but for safety reasons children must be at least 3 years old and able to use an appropriate car seat or booster if required. No children may ride on laps. Please let us know in advance if you need child or booster seats so we can have them ready in the Jeep.

San Francisco winter evenings can be chilly and breezy, especially in an open-top Jeep. We recommend dressing in warm layers, wearing a coat or jacket, closed-toe shoes, and bringing a hat, scarf, and gloves if you get cold easily. Blankets and fuzzy Santa hats are provided, but extra layers will keep you more comfortable.
The tour operates in very light rain or mist, and rain ponchos can be provided if needed. In the case of heavy rain, strong winds, or unsafe conditions, we may reschedule or cancel according to our weather policy and will contact you with options.
