If I could put 0 stars a girl with red hair would put many excuses and I would not let us go up, come from Ontario and pass to this attraction and do not let you go up very badly.

I’m glad I did it at least once. It was fun. I suggest going at the beginning of the day. We were the only boat on the water for part of it, and then we shared the space with only one other boat during our time. I can’t imagine there would be much space to paddle around with more than two boats on the water at once.

If you have a young child, its worth it to take them here. Even though its $21 for 10min, its something different. Theres no timer for 10min so just keep in riding until one of the staff signals to you letting you know your time is up. Gotta work hard to steer and pedal. One or both can pedal, so if one wants to take a rest then all good. You can also back pedal if you get stuck.

Is it expensive ? Absolutely! Is it a long ride? Nope. But you're at west ed and should totally spring for it one time if you have kids. As a child I always went here so it was fun to experience it from water level for first time especially with my own kids. Staff were friendly, little serious but I suppose they're worried about injuries. After 10 minutes of peddling in a very small area in a large plastic swan, I felt satisfied with the time lol. There's room for improvement but id still say go for it.
