A lot of fun and our first time. Twenty four dollars for an hour and money well spent. Great weather and beautiful scenery. read more

Today I wanted to take my family on a nice swan boat ride and was already worried about how packed it might have been being Easter Sunday. Even though it was packed, with Javier giving me a smile and being kind it made my whole experience worth it. I had a wheely fun time! read more

My son and I came here for the first time to the peddle boats. We had an amazing time. Fredo helped us out and is awsome! Explained everything and was super nice! Needless to say we will be back again. Thanx again Fredo! read more

Manuel and Fredon were the best! They Made our time on the water a very memorable day!

I loving coming here but my only complain is that on their website it says the last rental is at 6:50pm. I got there at 6:42pm and the girl said she was already closed. Maybe they should update the hours on their website. read more

A huge thank you to Luis who helped us with our rental. This place is awesome, totally recommend it!

Such a good time. They let us take our dog on and honestly he had such a great time. I think he had more fun than we did! Smooth and easy to operate. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Especially Javier! read more

I had such a fun time!!! the rental process was so easy thanks to Javier!!! I will always come back here!!!

Perfect activity for when the grandparents are in town! We were pleased with the easy parking and affordable rates. Will visit again! Gustavo was A++ read more

Vanessa was so willing to work with us! Excited for the trip!! Can't wait to see the scenery of the park! read more

What a nice and affordable service! The swan paddle boats they rent out are cute. $11/person an hour is reasonable and it's clean. I love that the paddle boats have a canopy so you don't cry in the sun. Good thinking! The people are friendly, and only ask one thing of everyone: have fun! read more

If you've got some kids And need to wear them out Rent an hour on the boats That starts with happy shouts! 30 minutes later - Their thighs will start to burn Exhaustion will set in And the pedals will fail to churn The view is lovely and pleasant The water is filled with duck Not a sound will be heard except For parents whispering .... Because after the kids are too tired And the boats still a mile from shore You'll be the one forced to pedal To get back to land once more. But for real - if it's not too hot, this is the perfect thing for the middle of the afternoon with your kids. read more

For an adult and a child it was $17. They ask for your ID and take your phone number. It's balboa park so there isn't too much to see. Just some people waking and lots of birds and ducks. I'm giving it 5 stars because my 4 year old niece liked it a lot. For next time I'll bring some snacks. Bring some music and enjoy an hour exercise with the children. read more

I've been coming here for years but I decided to sign up for the membership. I ended up losing my card and I wasn't sure what to do. Brian at the front went above and beyond our expectations, called corporate and helped us get a replacement card right then and there. Excellent customer service! Brian always assists us most of the time we are there, and he's always very kind and approachable. That's why we signed up for a membership. Come check out this location everyone! We really recommend them :) read more

Had a great time pedaling around the lake, great workout and fun time with the family. Staff was very friendly and ensured we got on and off safely. Gustavo helped us trade spots with my daughters so my wife and I could sit in the back and get to be driven around for once. read more

and the man was refusing to allow them to have two boats. The kids had to call me to intervene until the man gave them two boats. The man said the F-word to the kids on the first boat and dropped the head shade so it fell on their heads. The kids were shocked. He said the F- word again to the kids on the 2nd boat as he helped them inside the boat. He was not professional. Did not wait for the kids to completely board the boat, get settled or sit before pushing them away. I understand it's a pandemic. We are all stressed. I brought a bunch of depressed teenagers out to have fun. There's was no need for such an angry and aggressive reaction over a child's ripped mask when you had more behind the counter. We need to be kinder to one another. You see a mother alone with 5 children the day before Christmas at the park. Have some compassion. Have some grace. I was not rude for a second and was polite and kid and thanked the employee the entire time. I'm sure he is having a difficult time in his life. We can never judge another human for we are not in his shoes. May the lord have mercy on his soul. However, as the owner of this boat rental, I would want a different type of person working here. Someone who would provide better costumer service, not drive away business and someone who would not be a liability. read more

This review is for the bike rentals and not the boats! I am actually super disappointed in the boats. I was trying to get a boat at 3:15pm and they had shut the gates. When I asked they said they were finished for the day and there were no more boats. Um, they aren't supposed to shut till 3:30 and there were boats. So anyway, we decided to go check out the bikes. There I found 2 available bikes and Jacob! He was awesome. He explained the differences in the 2 bikes available and helped me figure out how to work it. He was super nice and friendly unlike the people at the boats. We were happy! Thanks Jacob read more

Such a beautiful park. It's huge. There's a ton of lush green grass where you can nap or picnic. And convenient street vendors with tasty ice cream or street corn. I came with my nieces and nephews and they had a blast, but this is also a super cute idea for a date. Go here and enjoy! read more

I like Cheap. I like Fun. And what a cheap, FUN way to waste away free time on the weekends. We had some time to kill before heading up to a party in Ventura, so this way we came. $10 per person per hour. You can get your own boat, or you can have a partner and pedal with someone else. And even though they're not hard on you with making you bring the boat back EXACTLY in an hour, don't be that asshole. Have fun and bring the boat back in timely fashion. People are waiting. (I'm not sure if kids under a certain age get to ride free, so ask.) It has a stirring wheel...and It's kinda like driving a car, so turn the way that you want the boat to go. The ones up in San Francisco were absolutely confusing...if you want to go left, you have to turn right. But THESE boats ain't about that confusing bullshit. They make WAY more sense than the ones in San Francisco. Get some sun. Burn some calories. Have some fun. read more

For the four of us, my two college-age kids and my 12 year old and I, it was a fun activity!! The Lake is not too big but then again, it's hard to go go real fast. Good thing for the shade over us or it might have been unbearably hot. $6 for my 12 year old was great, $11 for the adults was getting a bit pricey but the exercise and fun time on the lake was worth it. Definitely recommend it if you have never paddled out on the lake before. Do NOT expect to go fast and DO expect to do a lot of pedaling if you are the adult with kids who can't reach the pedals. read more

Be wary of the wind! The day I went it wasn't even that windy. It was sunny, in the mid-70's, and just a gorgeous day, so when I headed out on the paddle boat, I was enjoying the cool breeze and the scenery, the different types of birds, people playing with their remote controlled toy boats, but on the way back? I swear, no matter how hard I peddled, I couldn't get my big a$$ swan to budge! At one point, I was staring at the boat house's phone number that's on a sticker by the joystick and wondering "Am I seriously going to have to call these guys and tell them that I'm stranded in the middle of this little lake?!" Fortunately, the wind let up and I made it back within the hour, but I'm exhausted! I don't think I've pedaled so hard in my life, but even now I can't help but laugh! It's like, "What the hell happened to you?!" "Wind. Wind happened to me!" read more

Super fun for everyone! We arrived at 10:30 and by the time we were got off it was above 90 degrees! I would def recommend going super early or later in the day. I think the time we got there was just perfect! So affordable and you can bring snacks with you!! or you can save the snacks and have a picnic afterward at the park! Such a nice park! Only bad thing I have to say is that the young guys working there do not have good service. They try to get you in and out. I asked one if they could take a picture and he said no. I guess that would be my attitude if I had to stand out there all day too. read more

Very cool lake! They close early due to earlier sunsets. Parking is plenty and the run/walk around the lake is 2 miles. Perfect for practicing for 5Ks/half marathons! There are lots of ducks and fish, saw folks fishing there and there seem to be many people exercising there after work hours. 4 instead of 5 stars due to some sketchy people and homeless. :-( read more

So much fun!! Was $11 per adult for an hour to rent a swan boat. There were boats seating 4 or 5. this would be such a fun activity for kids! You peddle around the lake yourself. Plenty of ducks and geese and swans around. The swan boats are new. They used to be these older boats but with this new company they're brand new and swan shaped! Bring a hat or sunscreen :) This company also does bike rentals. read more

Jacob was amazing and super helpful. Had a positive attitude and immediately greeted my friend and I. Will definitely come back.

OMG...It was so much fun.... I took the kids here on spring break and they absolutely loved it.. There was ample parking and it was super easy to find. We specifically went to use the pedal boats, since we had seen the ones at Echo Park.. Let me say..it was so much fun...there was plenty of ducks and geese and the lake was beautiful...complete with a little waterfall.. The pedal boats at Echo park seemed to be in a sketchy area, but this park was amazing...the kids asked to go back to rent the bikes!! read more

Got a good work out! The place is not dirty at all Theres like park rangers life guards driving around every 5 minutes i like the park is really nice and quiet you can relax .. i rented the couple bike with my friend on a hot day umm bad idea and we are short so we had trouble peddling lmaoo but at least we got a good workout read more

I take my grandkids here for the paddleboats and we all LOVE it!! The people who work there are nice and helpful. I suggest you buy a discount card and you will get future visits for a heavily discounted price ( good for 12 months )! My grandkids keep asking to go back......and we do! read more

Really bad service and not great staff. Me and my boyfriend wanted to rent a swan boat and the young man gave us a rude attitude and said it was closed due to not having enough boats. That same staff member was also rude to another old lady with a young girl. Five minutes later another worker lets 3 families go 10+ people but there wasn't enough for 2? Keep in fact that we were there before those families. That was so unfair and would not recommend other to go through that. read more
