McAlpine Locks Lunch Cruise

This one-of-a-kind, highly requested river cruise aboard the Mary M. Miller riverboat is unlike any other experience we offer, allowing guests the first-hand experience of passing through the McAlpine Locks. Built in the 1920s, the McAlpine Locks are the only way to safely navigate past the Falls of the Ohio, the only obstruction along the Ohio River… which spans 981 miles throughout six states!

While onboard, you will be treated to a special narration about the history of the Locks and what is happening as we pass through them, in addition to a delicious box lunch. After passing through the Locks, we will cruise further downriver before returning to the Louisville Wharf.

(Please note that if river conditions or river traffic prohibit going through the McAlpine Locks, we will take a cruise upriver instead. The return time may be later than estimated based on when we can get in and out of the locks.)

Tickets are $63.99 for adults (ages 15-64) & $61.99 for seniors (ages 65+); $32.99 for children (ages 5-14); a free ticket is available for children ages 4 & under.
