It was a cool experience I hate that our swan never lit up but it was still pretty and peaceful out on the water!!

The staff was helpful & friendly. The lake is pretty, the ducks swimming around add to the charm as do the fountain & flowers.

The swan boat company wouldn’t accept our ticket and we had to buy one through their website. They said that Viator was a 3rd party ticket and I wasn’t aware of that.

Make sure to get there early for parking. The place was really easy to find the staff were really helpful. There’s a treasure hunting app that you can download when you get on the paddle boat. Make sure the lifejacket that they give you fits if it doesn’t let them know, and they will kindly give you a larger or smaller life jacket.

It was really beautiful to enjoy spending times with my boyfriend. We actually had a good times together paddle and enjoy our conversation and looking around and take pictures together. The staff were very friendly and we got check in real quick. The lines were so quick to. Overall, it was definitely worth it and experiences.

Love this place it is our go to hotel when we travel to LA. It’s clean, comfortable, and their hospitality is very pleasant.
Alfa_T, Jul 2026
It is a nice activity very quiet and relaxing overall, you need to be in good physical if you are participating in the pedaling of the boat. Really fun family activity.
La_K, Jul 2026
The night version was nice and romantic. Nice view and peaceful. It’s a line regardless of the reservation we all were in the same line they should make a line for those who pay in advance and for those who pay on the spot.
Sydney_H, Jul 2026
Zero parking anywhere. Had to park 3 blocks down. Once I get there I get told I need my id which should have been in the “know before you go” just ended up taking my 8 hour drive home
Jaime_A, Jun 2026
it doesn’t matter what time your reservation is you still have to wait in long line to even check in when you get there
Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
It was a nice date peaceful I just couldn’t be on there to long I was nauseous but other than that it was a nice thing to do out in LA

This ride is a workout so just know that your legs will get a pretty good workout. Echo Park is a beautiful Park that we went to
Gilbert_M, Jun 2026
Echo Park has gone through an overhaul over the past. It has been cleaned up and is a nice place for a family outing.
Joanna_M, Jun 2026
Was fun to do. Need two people to pedal to move correctly but still nice to just float along. Go after 7:30pm, if you want the swans with the lights. Pictures come out nice at sunset.
Gavyn_V, Jun 2026
It was impossible to reschedule my booking (I called and responded to the message and followed the link.) I attempted to reschedule or cancel, 4 hours in advance. Ultimately I could not reschedule or get a refund due to the company's refusal to communicate.

Janice_B, May 2026
It was a 10 out of 10 experience* will definitely be doing it again. It was fun for all of us not just the children I would definitely recommend it and I will definitely be doing it again.
Yetzabelle_P, May 2026
I would do this again. I loved it. Although next I would bring mosquito spray. My boyfriend got bitten on his face and hands a lot , and was swollen. Luckily he ok with some over the counter Benadryl cream. 🩷

Arrive early to find parking.
Check the weather, the water can make things feel cooler.
Wear closed toe shoes.
Patrick_M, May 2026
It’s a beautiful and unique experience for any aged person. Echo Park is my home and it makes me happy we have this.
Darell_B, May 2026

It was fun and cool to see all the turtles and baby geese.
The park was clean and well manicured. The swan boat was a neat ride.
Sonia_S, Apr 2026

Danielle_J, Apr 2026
I really enjoyed the swan boat experience—it was such a fun and relaxing activity. The ride itself was smooth and easy, perfect for just taking your time and enjoying the scenery. The ducks were absolutely gorgeous and added to the whole vibe. It felt peaceful but still entertaining at the same time. Definitely something I would recommend if you’re looking for a cute, low-key experience to enjoy outdoors.
CAROL_R, Apr 2026
Keep pedaling and go around the fountain. We got drenched and laughed a lot. It’s an exciting memory that will stay with us for a long time.
Jackeline_S, Mar 2026
