If you love to watch The Nationals play, but you just can't deal with the stressful parking situation at the stadium, the Potomac Riverboat Company has an alternative: the Baseball Boat. The large passenger boat ferries baseball fans from Old Town Alexandria to Nationals Park every baseball season, and it returned to the waters this year on April 1st.

Buy your Baseball Boat tickets online, and free parking is included near the Alexandria City Marina, where you'll board the boat before the game.Then you'll spend about 40 minutes drinking in the views of DC as you meander up the Potomac in the direction of the park. The enclosed bottom level of the boat boasts a bar with beer, wine, soda, and popcorn if you want to grab a drink while you cruise. Enjoy the ambiance and panoramic views until you get dropped off right in front of Nationals Park. Then 20 minutes after the game, the Baseball Boat returns to Alexandria.
