Swan Boats

A trip to Boston is not complete without a visit to this attraction. From mid-April until early -September, one can take a quick tour on a paddle boat designed to look like a swan. The Swan Boat tours have been run by the same family for over a hundred years in the Boston Public Garden, which was the setting for the famous children's story, 'Make Way for Ducklings'. Tourists will understand why as they glide among the hundreds of ducks that call the Garden Pond home. The lucky visitors may also catch glimpses of a couple of real swans.
