Each swan holds 20 so bring the family. Parents can park carriages at the dock. The Swan Boats operate from the third week of April to the third week of September. Weather permitting; boat rides run from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm through Labor Day. From June 21 - Labor Day, you'll get an extra hour (they are open until 5:00 pm).
