If you’re planning things to do with the kids this October half term, make sure you get a trip on Mersey Ferries on your list! ⛴️

Stepping on board one of the iconic ferries is more than just a regular day out, it feels like an adventure and kids absolutely love it.

Our ferries are famous, so being on one is an experience in itself and you won’t find a better view of both waterfronts and all the landmarks than out on the river.

Be a tourist in your own city this half term! 🫶
