Traveler reviews
Loud oldies music no history or any info whatsoever
It’s just a ride with horrible loud old music. There are drinks and Snak’s. Super windy outside so get a seat inside
Perfect for a short stay
Answered all my questions about the area and was available 24 hours a day. Noted security checks on vehicles and were present when we were turned to the building late at night. Quiet location with easy access to the interstate and staff was very friendly. Grocery story and Total Wine within walking distance. Biking and walking trails less than one block away.
This cruise was amazing!...
This cruise was amazing! It was very peaceful to see the views of the center at night from the boat. I would highly recommend dressing accordingly as it was super cold due to the strong wind. The snacks are board helped as I got a hot chocolate to warm me up. It was very well priced too, less than $5.
