Very nice dinner cruise on the Mississippi River between St. Paul and Minneapolis. Dinner consists of BBQ ribs and chicken with baked beans, cornbread, and dessert. Nothing fancy, but good quality and tasty. Soft drinks are included and beer and wine are available for purchase. The staff are very nice and the views are great, especially as evening sets in. A bit pricy, but worth it.

We had our summer celebration on the Padelford River Boat and it was perfect! The boat was beautiful, the service outstanding, and the atmosphere made for a truly memorable evening. An awesome experience with wonderful memories for everyone

It was a very nice ride. Peaceful. Saw 6 eagles (2 were babies) I would do the dinner boat cruise again as it has been years since.

The Lunch and Lock was one of my favorite things we did on vacation. The trip through the lock was so cool to see. I was a little disappointed that the food was bland. But, the views were just amazing. The four hours flew by.

We were on a school field trip (we homeschool through Pearson’s, ask me about it later) and the children had a blast. The photos are taken by my soon to be high schooler (he skipped a grade 😉). The Captain had so many difficulties due to the wind (a tornado warning came through a couple of hours after we docked). We couldn’t hear the narration about the history of the river, but technical difficulties aside, who isn’t grateful for an opportunity to be together as a family!? The field trip price was $8.40 per person and that alone makes it worth every cent!
