Enjoy Ten Tickets to the Swan Boats of Boston.  

Take your friends and family to the iconic ritual of paddling through Boston's Public Gardens.  Whether looking for Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack and Quack from the classic Make Way for Ducklings or reminicing about The Trumpet of the Swan, the Swan Boats have been in operation since 1877, and are a Boston cultural icon.  They operate beginning the second weekend of April and ending the third weekend in September.

Robert Paget first created the Swan Boats in the Public Garden in 1877, after seeing the opera Lohengrin with his wife Julia Paget. Inspired by the Knight's gallant rescue of the damsel by riding a Swan across the lake, Paget decided to capitalize on the recent popularity of the bicycle and combine the two, designing a two-pontooned boat with two wooden benches and a brass seat on top of a paddlebox concealed by a swan. The driver would sit inside the swan and pedal passengers around the pond.
