A fun option! What's a memorable boat ride you've taken? ⛴

The high-speed ferry goes from downtown Milwaukee right into Muskegon, Michigan. It’s about a 2 1/2-hour ride, and although the price packs a punch, my family finally tried it out this summer, and we found it to be well worth the cost.To ride in the classic cabin , it’s $99.50 for an adult, one-way, or $169 roundtrip. Premiere seats, for what it’s worth, will run you $121 one-way or $215 roundtrip .

My husband drove our SUV onto the ferry and parked it, while I walked on board with the kids. He met us in the main cabin probably 10 minutes after we sat down. You can’t stay with your car; you leave it down below. You keep your car packed, as well. I had separated out some juice boxes and changes of clothes, just in case, but once your car is parked, you leave it down below deck for the duration of the trip.My husband said the parking was ridiculously organized, too.

I’m guessing it would have taken us closer to 9 1/2 hours, just based on frequent bathroom breaks, food stops and traffic. But we’re pretty slow-moving these days, so maybe you could go faster if you’re without small children. When we pulled up to the terminal, feeling a little apprehensive about having never taken the ferry before and having young kids in tow, the staff was super helpful. The signage at the port was well-marked, the four of us got all checked in from our car, and the instructions inside the waiting area were more than clear. Basically, as long as you show up on time, the staff will help you with the rest.

The trip really did seem quick. And then once we docked in Michigan, it was like, THAT’S when the annoying “travel” part really started. The boat didn’t feel like a mundane car ride. That was just part of the adventure.
