I have taken many rides on the Mississippi River on the Padleford boats. Kind of a tourist thing to do. Often we are not even aware of tourist attractions in our own town. They are fun and the kids love it, everyone does. Take a long cruise or a short one, a dinner cruise or a moonlight cruise. The Minnesota centennial showboat is fun too.
