Seacombe Ferry

Modern day Seacombe Ferry is either an architectural beauty or nightmare, depending on your point of view.  The ferry terminal, on a floating stage, is ultra modern in design, giving excellent views all around the river Mersey.  Cruise trips are every hour.

Facilities are very good, especially for an afternoons trip.  There is a cafe, in the shape and style of a ferry boat, where you can relax whilst waiting for your boat if you don't want to go down to the stage.  For the kids there is a Pirates Paradise soft play area (chargeable), and a Seaquarium (chargeable) to visit. 

To make an afternoon, or day, of it, a ticket that inclusive ferry and  Seaquarium ticket can be purchased.  You can break your ferry trip at Birkenhead, where you can visit the Giant Grasshopper and the Tram Museum, then over to Liverpool to see the Maritime Museum, and back to Seacombe.  For the full experience I would recommend starting early, or giving the Maritime Museum a day on it's own.
