One-hour cruises geared toward kids and families
Wabasha, MN – River cruise season is underway at the National Eagle Center and they are offering special Kid’s Cruises on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25 during Wabasha’s Riverboat Days Festival.
For the second summer in a row, the Center is catering to kids and families with a pair of one-hour Bald Eagle and wildlife viewing cruises tailored to a younger audience. These cruises are also available at a deeply discounted rate of $20 for members and $30 for non-members.
“Our river cruises have been popular for several years now, but they have been oriented to an adult audience,” said Ed Hahn, Director of Advancement and Marketing Communication at the Center. “In 2025 we decided to offer a cruise experience for kids and younger families and they proved very popular! So we’re offering the experience again this summer.”The cruises will board Winona State University’s Cal Fremling floating classroom at the Wabasha dock outside of the National Eagle Center in Wabasha and cruise from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. both days. Cruises will feature expert naturalist guides to answer questions as well as a fun river bingo game designed to get kids to really explore the river habitat.
