RIDE IN A COOL BUS … This is not your typical school bus or you typical tour. Our guides and bus are out-of-this-world entertaining! Educational and entertaining, LaZoom’s Kids’ Comedy tour features a perfect blend of Asheville information and kid-centric comedy.

LAUGH AND LAUGH … Your tour guide isn’t a normal tour guide. (Actually nothing at LaZoom is normal) We hired the best comedic and theatrical talent in the region to perform a wholly one of a kind experience. Along the way, you’ll encounter other off-the-wall characters.

The tour is 60 minutes long and includes no stops. The tour is hosted by a zany tour guide, and along the way other characters will hop on the bus and perform kid-centric sketches (Candy Pirate, Ninja, and a Levitator) The tour is not only fun – it’s educational! Kids and adults will learn new and interesting facts about Asheville along the way. There must be 1 adult for every 4 children. We do not allow any unaccompanied children. Children 3 and under do not need a ticket if they are sitting in an adults lap.
