Fun for family!

We had a blast. It was the perfect amount of time. Kids loved it, my husband and I did as well. The staff went out of their way to make sure everyone got pictures and had a good time.

Weekend in NYC

We had a great time on this speedboat ride. The crew onboard were awesome and very interactive with the visitors on board. I don't think anyone on the boat was completely dry after the ride. I definitely recommend this ride!!
