The people behind the swans probably have legs build like pylons by the end of the season. It's no surprise that they look like track stars from area colleges. The slow-moving Swan Boats meander around the lagoon and under the Public Garden bridge as walkers look on from over head. The bridge is the world's smallest suspension bridge and adds to the intimacy of the leisurely cruise. 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, they run from 10 am - 4 pm through Labor Day. After Labor Day catch a swan boat ride weekdays from noon to 4 pm and weekends from 10 am - 4 pm. The Swan Boats are convenient to public transportation. Check here for directions via the MBTA .
