We took the ferrywhile on a America by rail tour. It was awesome to watch our tour bus being backed on the ferry. My husband and I thourly enjoyed the trip. The staff took very good care of us on the tour, let us board and depart together which was very nice.

I had such a fun trip and loved learning about this piece of history - so cool that a steam ship still exists! It was such a fun experience and I highly recommend it to anyone. I thought the staff was friendly and I loved having a break from driving on my trip from Michigan to Minnesota. Great work, S.S. Badger!
