Riverboat Row allows kids and family members to experience riverboats and the river from an educational standpoint. Kids will get a fish's-eye view of life underwater as they gaze into a 2,200 gallon aquarium stocked with real fish collected from the Ohio River. They will also study small critters found in river water, called macroinvertebrates, that help determine if the water is clean or polluted. Build-a-boat is another activity that was extremely popular with children in 2003!
