Canal Boat River Cruise - Enjoy a relaxing, two-hour cruise on the Maumee River aboard the M/V Sandpiper, a replica of a vintage Miami-Erie canal boat. Cruise by downtown Toledo and neighboring areas with close up views of beautiful bridges including the new Veteran’s Glass City Skyway Bridge, Port of Toledo, and more.

Georgio’s Café International (included lunch) - "A delight in every way," is how the notable Zagat Survey described Georgio's whose philosophy is simple: "every great meal requires the absolute best, freshest ingredients. There is no substitute for quality. From the very beginning in 1986, we've served only the finest local and organically grown produce, grass-fed prime beef, free range chicken and the freshest seafood delivered daily. Taste the difference."

National Museum of the Great Lakes - The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history impacting the social, economic and political history of North America. The incredible story of our Great Lakes - spanning hundreds of years from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s and the rum runners in the 1900s to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today - is told with over 300 genuine artifacts, powerful audiovisual displays and 40 handson, interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. Unsurpassed in both size and elegance, The Col. James M. Schoonmaker was built at the Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ecorse, Michigan and launched on July 1, 1911. We will have an hour to explore the museum and then a 1-hour guided tour of the 617-foot Col. James. M. Schoonmaker!

** Museum is handicap accessible, but ship is not. Steep gangplank and narrow halls may be difficult for some travelers to navigate.
