1. The 30 minute Quick and Scenic Excursion:

An excellent option which includes all the splash and dash plus a portion of the ship and bridges tour in a shorter time frame. This trip suits younger graders well or classes on a tight time or budget.

2. The 1 Hour Ships and Bridges Excursion:

A popular choice as the hour-long ride provides a good balance of education, spins, and splash in just the right amount of time.

To serve more schools and provide this opportunity to more students, we are no longer including the 2-hour Willamette Falls tour in the school field trip program.
