Such a fun time! I... - Such a fun time! I recommend going at night when the swans light up! It’s easy to pedal and it doesn’t require two people to pedal only one person.

Girls trip - This was truly an experience! We had so much fun. Great girls trip night. Only down fall is reservations are a joke! If someone is planning this and a dinner they will be screwed on the time. If reservations are at 7. The. That’s what it should be. We get there at our allotted time only to have to wait for people that didn’t make reservations pay in line. Even though the young man asked did they have reservations they didn’t. That is not fair to those that did. My star rating is only for the fun so on my next review it will be a one star for sure.

Romantic city views - Beautiful & romantic experience. I went with my girlfriend for the 7:20pm option and we had a beautiful view of the city peaking through the trees, the lights of the other swans peddling around us, a nice fountain, and great weather. It lasted enough for us to feel like we weren't rushed and felt like we were ready to go. Parking is a hassle, though we got lucky and found a spot around the lake only a 3-4 walk from the check-in spot.

Lovely evening - Beautiful scenary at night. Wish they would open up the entire lake, because it gets a bit crowded in the area since 1/3 of lake is closed at night.
