5.00Husband and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and decided to try the swan boats. The building itself looks a little scruffy as did the check-in kiosk but the life jackets that you must wear were clean and reflected professionalism. Getting into the swan boat was a bit wobbly but the attendant was there with a strong arm. The paddle boat experience was wonderful. You sit close to the water and the ducks and cormorants don’t mind you. The lake is quite large and I guess you could get quite an exercise but we just paddled around the fountains of water. It was very pleasant and relaxing. We are 76 years old.
Pay your employees more!

3.00It was really nice to see the fountain up close in our little swan boat! We had a nice time going around the lake, but the steering on our swan was a bit busted, it only really turned left! Also the workers seem under paid bc they didnt seem that happy to be here. Come onnn, its 2026. They did a great job getting everyone in their boat. I hope they unionize or something.
Very Nice!

5.00We were required to wear life jackets and they all fit perfectly and were cute. The swan navigating system was an easy to guide shifter and dual pedals. We enjoyed our experience.
