The RiverLink Ferry Opens for the 2008 Season

Media release

The warm weather is here and the feeling of summer is beginning to fill the air. That can only mean one thing. It must be the start of the RiverLink Ferry season. On Saturday, May 3, the RiverLink Ferry kicks-off its 2008 season with a “Kids Ride Free Promotion”. From Noon until 6 p.m. the ferry will offer a FREE ride to children ages 12 years and younger with each paid adult ticket purchase.

“The RiverLink Ferry has become a very popular attraction for many people and an integral part of the summer waterfront experience. We look forward to a great season” said John J. Matheussen, Chief Executive Officer of DRPA and President of PATCO.

Join the celebration this Saturday as the Camden Riversharks’ mascot “Blueper” greets ferry passengers for a fun-filled ride across the Delaware River. Each child in attendance will receive a FREE pinwheel souvenir to remember the day. Then, stop by the Susquehanna Bank Center on the Camden Waterfront to see Nickelodeon’s adventure buffs, The Backyardigans, perform. The last ferry run of the day will be from Camden at 6:30 p.m. and from Penn’s Landing at 7 p.m.
