Passengers can take advantage of the full bar and grill that serves up autumn favorites like “grandma’s spiked cider,” hot chocolate and piping hot clam chowder. Visitors can also enjoy complementary personal tarot card readings and free professional face painting, as well as spooky photo opportunities and a festive crew ready to attend to your needs.

This attraction is open to both adults and kids, though grown-ups may want to opt for a later departure time. If you’re interested in an adults-only version, there’s also a “Boos Cruise” on offer.
