Swan Boat Rides In the Public Garden | Kids Out and About Boston

Swan Boat Rides In the Public Garden

Glide into a cherished Boston tradition with a ride on the iconic Swan Boats in the Public Garden—a beloved experience since 1877! These graceful paddle boats offer a peaceful float through the city's lush oasis, where blooming flowers, calm waters, and immaculately kept paths create a postcard-perfect scene. The Swan Boats are a magical way to soak in the city's charm and history. Just be sure to check the day’s forecast—rides only run when the weather’s as welcoming as the garden itself!
