Cute thing to do with thirty minutes. It was super foggy the morning we did the duck boat...but it was fun!

Adds extra charge if your kid shows interest in a specific boat and requests extra if you want a picture with your family on the boat.

Staff was super friendly! I did the hour long rental and I'd say it worth it. Half an hour is enough to do a lap around the pond, but the hour is nice if you want to just paddle around and do random little "donuts" around lol
