Family Fun on Swan Boat - It was a lovely relaxing experience for all of us. My girls enjoyed paddling and an hour in the boat was just the right amount of time.

Worth the money - It was my frst time doing swan boating with my kids and it was so much fun! Love the water fountains! Just don't get too close so you won't get wet. There was 4 of us in one boat and can take turns in paddling. It was tiring but also good exercise for the legs.

Fun paddle boats - Check in was fairly easy considering our reservation was at 1035am. We also had no trouble finding parking, and best of all, parking was free. An hour was plenty of time for my daughter and I to loop around the lake 3 times. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Swans in Echo - The ducks and the free open space to explore with your boat. The lake was spacious and the waterfall stream added an element of fun.

Beautiful - It was beautiful, me and my fiancé enjoyed our time here. The only thing I did not like was when it started to get dark, the mosquitoes start to surround your boat and you do get bit up. Hopefully some sort of mosquito repellent can be added to the boats. Other than that it was very enjoyable and beautiful. Would definitely do it again but maybe spray some repellent on me first lol.

Summer Fun - Taking the swan boat ride in Echo Park is like visiting a country lake. It is a completely relaxing way to spend an afternoon on the water. Be sure to bring someone who likes to peddle the boat because it can be a workout. The staff is incredibly efficient, helpful and friendly.

Nice outing - Once you get moving it's nice to coast on the water. The fountain sprayed us a bit, which I enjoyed. An hour is more than enough for this experience.

Good to do one time - The lake is beautiful. It is LA so you will see a huge variety of people including homeless. The boat ride itself was fine. A bit hot and crowded. The boats are in good shape but surprisingly hard to paddle. Maybe because of the weight or the small rudders. Glad I did it once.
