• 5Money well spent!

  A lot of fun, informational and don’t worry about rain. Boat has areas inside though we had raincoats and stayed out on deck.. Would recommend getting there early if you do want to sit inside because if there happens to be a big group (which there was when we went), the inside sitting will fill up quickly.
