With brightly buffed brass and a fresh coat of paint, the Swan Boats reappear in Boston's Public Garden in April. Enjoy a peaceful 15 minute paddleboat cruise around the Boston Garden lagoon. The only boats of their kind in the world, inspired by the opera Lohengrin.

Little has changed since they first graced the 24-acre gardens lagoons in 1877. In fact, the boats are operated by descendants of Swan Boat founder Robert Paget. And they are still propelled the old-fashioned way too, by pedal power!

It's beautiful, inexpensive and fun ! Just enough time to keep the attention of three-year olds, too.

This is an annual tradition for our family. It is such a wonderful step back in time, and the Public Garden in May is absolutely gorgeous. This is a great, cheap, low-key outing for the family.
