Use a cheap ferry hop as the 'main event', then alight somewhere new for a short walk and ice cream before riding back. Picnique lists this as a repeatable planning pattern for your city, not a review of one named venue. Confirm hours, pricing, access, and conditions with operators, councils, or park authorities before anyone in your group travels.
