Relaxing Ferry Trip Avoids Chicago Traffic
For a family trip from Wisconsin to Michigan, the Lake Express ferry offers a relaxing alternative to driving through Chicago. The cost, which includes car transport, is significant, but discounts can help.
Booking and Boarding
Advance booking with discounts for students and children can reduce the cost. The ferry accommodates cars, and parking is guided by staff.
Comfortable Ferry
The ferry features comfortable seating, a café, and even a rooftop deck with stunning views. The absence of car traffic eliminates stress and motion sickness.
Minor Drawbacks
Deboarding can be challenging due to tight car parking. To save money, consider renting a car at the destination instead of bringing your own. Despite these minor inconveniences, the ferry provides a more enjoyable and traffic-free travel experience.
