Can't say enough great things about the Badger experience. For four hours across Lake Michigan you have something for everyone. Sleeping cabins, Bingo, bar, best popcorn ever, TV room, movie theater, kids play area, arcade and lounge chairs all around. The ship. Smooth as can be. We had a group and sat in the main area and played bingo and had a blast. Thank you!
