Swan Boats, Boston

For only $2.50 I took a peaceful fifteen-minute Swan Boat ride around a small pond. Surrounding the pond are these huge old willow trees. The branches of the willow trees gently grace your shoulders and head as you soothingly float around the pond.

Robert Paget first created the Swan Boats in 1877. Paget creation was based on a opera called Lohengrin. A love story where a knight crosses a river in a boat drawn by a Swan to save the Princess Elsa.

The Swan Boats are located in the center of Boston Public Gardens. Twenty-four acres of Public Botanical Garden is an oasis in the center of the city.

You will even catch locals riding the Swan Boats. A Swan Boat ride is a great way to welcome Summer. The sun will lovingly beam down on you as you gently glide around the pond. You can’t help but be relaxed and calmed by the ride.

Great place to bring visitors or dates. The Swan Boats are fun way to welcome them to Boston. Bring your date here before dinner it’s seductive and quiet enough to calm your nerves.
