Romantic and good exercise - It was very romantic to ride a swan-shaped boat at dusk and dark to see the city lights light up one by one. Great cardio exercise pedaling around the lake! The staff at check-in and getting to/out the bout were polite and helpful. If it depends on the Swan Boat owners - it would be more interesting to have the entire lake to ride.

10/10 experience - Went at night time to see the lights on the boats, so worth it. Cute animal life to see and such a fun experience. Workers were chill and helpful too!

Great evening! - We had a fantastic time! Reservations were easy to make online, everything went smoothly when we were there and the boat ride was lovely at sunset with the illuminated swans! The food from piknik was awesome too.

Something fun & inexpensive to do for about 30 to 60 mins. - When we arrived, the area was decorated with christmas decore. It was dark and the small pond was lit up with swan boats. It was a nice sight. As a fyi, they were only takikg online purchases, so you cant walk up.. you would still need to book online. So the bad was the pond was roped off to only half of it for use. And there were toughly 20 to 30 swan boats out, so a bit crowded. Im sure not all the boats are bad, but we got one that would only turn left, stright, or like 3 degrees right. It was a bit annoying/funny. There were a few times where it got stuck and would only go left and we would just do circles lauging. All in all a good experience.

Nice photo opportunity - It was a beautiful site at night to see the swans lit up. The lights on the boat didn’t last very long Needed to be recharged. But it was relaxing

A little magic in downtown LA - We had such a nice evening with our granddaughter. Other than a long line when we arrived, once on our swan, it was special. The water, the fountain, the sparkling skyline, the friendly staff, and our clean and graceful swan, all contributed to our adventure. This was particularly true when trying to achieve raming speed, our making a sharp turn to avoid the spray from the fountain.

A pedalo in the shape of a sign. - We did it in broad daylight, it is in pedal boat with a decor of signs simply. Pedal was disgusting. There was even used paper or tissue, pay almost 50 dollars for an hour 😳😳. My daughter wanted to go, so we can't refuse. What wouldn't we do for our children? No parking problems.

Horrible - Paid for a reserved time, arrived on time to a huge line, even if you have a reserved paid time slot you had to wait. Never got on because the line was too long & it closed. Should issue my money back, what a waste of money and time!
