U.S. Ariel Historic Adventure

Don't give up the ship!

Our family had so much fun start to finish on this 90-minute tour! From the get-go when our kids were sworn in as sailors and raising the battle flag, we were hooked on an adventure filled with hands-on fun and action-packed history all while enjoying a beautiful evening on Lake Erie.

We were enthralled with the vivid retelling of the important battle of the War of 1812. History truly came alive and even as adults we learned a lot. Each narration was punctuated with hands-on activities that kept our kids perfectly engaged. From knot tying, and compass reading to sword fighting and a full-out water cannon battle with another vessel (we were soaked) our kids had a blast and can't wait to come back.

Highly recommend!

Dave and Marc were very pleasant. Ended up being the only two on the tour and they took great care of us. Was a very informative historical ride. Got to have a water battle with another ship. 16 bucks for 1.5 hour tour,can't beat it. 10/10

Dave and Mark were awesome tour guides on the ship and very informative about the war and Erie's history with it. Very interactive with knot tying, sword fights, and even a water gun fight with another ship! Great for kids and very affordable.

Outstanding tour! Narrator tells the story of the battle from a first person perspective. It is like he was there as part of the original crew. Highly recommend!

Captain Mark and Dave were wonderful! My 3yr old son and I had a blast! Day well spent.

The absolute best historical boat ride!

What a great and fun experience.♥

Beautiful
