Is Mark Twain Riverboat Kid-Friendly?

The Mark Twain is definitely kid-friendly, with no height or age restrictions and plenty of space to check out the river scenery from multiple decks and vantage points.

While older kids like tweens and teens may not find the Mark Twain Riverboat thrilling enough for their tastes, this is a great slow-moving ride for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids who love anything in motion.

Best For: Anyone who loves a scenic boat ride or younger kids who are best suited to slower-paced attractions.

Will Mark Twain Riverboat Cause Motion Sickness?

The Mark Twain moves at a slow pace and doesn’t stray from its straight-ish path, so it shouldn’t cause any motion sickness for guests. There is no rocking or potential for seasickness-like concerns, either.
