For 5.00 you can sit back and enjoy this trip across the Ohio, One of the oldest operating Ferry's left. If you have never done then this is good one, easy access on and off, good to get to downtown Cincinnati. Recommend to and for all.

If I pick up anyone at CVG during the day, they are in for a treat. I love the winding road down to the river bank and the experience to be crossing the river at water level, feeling the wind as you go. The arrival in Ohio is less bucolic and takes away from the experience but I still do it. Reminds me to take my time to enjoy the nice things in life.

On our way to the airport to drop friends we noticed that travel on the other side of the road was backed up for miles. We were really dreading the trip back when we remembered the ferry. What a life saver! It was relaxing and got us across the river in no time. Also it was only $5!

We always take the ferry when arrive at Cincinnati airport and drive to west side of the city. This amazing old-style way of travel is so relaxing! And it doesn't take any longer than the Interstate if you happen to find the ferry waiting for you! The longest one needs to wait for a ferry is 15 minutes, but even then enjoy the moving barges.

If you get the chance it is a must do in Cincinnati. If traffic is backed up to the airport this a great shortcut. Took the grandkids for ferry ride. They loved it to no end. The staff is very friendly. The kids were walking around on the boat, watching things in awe. And not bad for this old Grandpa too. Web site http://www.andersonferry.org

We didn't get here on purpose, we were just looking around. Out GPS was set to not use Highways as we have found this is the best way to explore areas that we have never been. We were in North Kentucky, near the Cincinnati Airport (which is also in Kentucky), and we spotted the Anderson Ferry. Neither of us had ever been in Ohio, and we decided right away to take the Ferry. We had no idea of cost, we simply wanted to do this.

$5 got us and the car across the Ohio River to Ohio. It was a very nice, smooth ride while we relaxed in the car watching the river, the birds, and the scenery. It was great and we really enjoyed the trip.

I highly recommend it.

Anderson Ferry was established in 1817. Almost 200 years ago. They short trip across the river is about 15 min. long. The price is $5.00 for your car and all within it. It's a peaceful gentle ride across the river on a nice day in May. You can get out of your car to take better photos. Other folks riding across with us in their car said they've done this Many times. No big deal to them, but to us, it was a great experience with a feeling of reaching back into the history of this area....

This is a fun way to cross the river and enjoy a Sunday drive. You can cross over into Boone County Ky, and have lunch, then catch the ferry back to Ohio.

We wanted to use the ferry to let the kids see how things are done when bridges couldn't be used. It is really quick, the employees are very nice and keep things moving as quick as possible. Cost to us, being a car was 5.00, so who wouldn't do something new for just 5.00. Great Website, with history if you need to look up the schedule. If you are crossing the river either KY To OH, or OH to KY I would take the ferry at least Once!
