We Embrace The Cheesiness

Gilbert_M, Nov 2023

My wife and I were visiting from Indiana and wanted to do something "touristy". We thought to ourselves that this was a bit cheesy but we're so glad we did it.

Kaitlyn_H, Nov 2022

The workers didn’t give us rules and mess up our night they put lasers in our eyes and I have a big headache because of them

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Kaitlyn, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. First and foremost, please accept our sincere apology for your experience. As a company built around fun, ensuring our customers have a great time during their rental is our top priority and we are sorry you were unable to do that. We have requested that Viator issue a full refund for your booking. If you have questions regarding your refund, please contact Viator Customer Care at 1 (888) 680-1640. There are rules at Echo Park Lake on where you may navigate while on your Swan Boat ride for your safety and the preservation of the flora and fauna at the lake, very specifically which are protected by the City and the boats must stay 20 ft from shore so that you do not get stuck and need rescue or damage the pontoons on the boats given the shallow water in those areas. Please know that we have reinforced the importance of providing a great experience for our guests through stellar service and communication with the entire staff at our Echo Park Swan Boats location. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please contact our Central Office at (805) 650-7770 or by email at EchoSupport@wheelfunrentals.com and ask to be connected with a Manager. We truly appreciate your feedback in helping Wheel Fun Rentals provide the best boat rental experience in the business and sincerely apologize for the experience. Best regards, Wheel Fun Management

Escape from reality

The lights and the city skyline reflection. It was perfect weather, the views and the water fountain ⛲️ was a great touch.

Ashley_T, Sep 2022

My friend and I had an amazing experience at the swan boat night ride. It was very relaxing and beautiful. If you’re going with your significant other it’s very romantic. I only rated it 4 stars because the patoon we were in wasn’t cleaned and the guy that worked there heard me say it wasn’t cleaned and he saw me wiping the seat with my own napkin and he didn’t offer to just clean it with their cleaning supplies. Other than that we had a great time and got to catch up and just talk about life.

Me and my girls loved the evperience. 🌹

ingrid_m, Sep 2022

I haven’t been in the area in years. It was nice to see the improvements. I saw this driving by and had to try. We celebrated one of my daughters accomplishments here. I made my reservations my kids and I loved it. We posted videos and pictures on FB and IG. We are getting a lot of fun feed back that people want to try this.

Horrible experience

louie_c, Aug 2022

Horrible experience. I got a text 3 hours before that my swan boat was canceled to check the email and I never received a email until 9pm I got a email saying to check in 10 mins before ? Wasted my time and money

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Louie, Thank you for your honest feedback. The cancellation that you received was due to a technical issue between Viator and our internal booking software and how those two systems talk to each other to ensure only the actual capacity is booked – that feature failed over the weekend of Aug 5th – 7th. In reviewing your booking I see that you were issued a full refund. As a company built around fun, ensuring our customers have a great time during their rental is our top priority, and we are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. We have been working with our booking platform and Viator to resolve the technical issue that resulted in the overbookings on the weekend of Aug 5-7th and the issue has now been resolved. We hope you will consider giving us a second chance to show you that your experience was not normal. Warmest regards, Wheel Fun Central

A vibe!

Myiesha_L, Jul 2022

My most memorable experience is the swan glowing and just sitting in the middle of the lake watching the water ducks and the ducks in the water

Cute Date Idea

Brandi_T, Jul 2022

Really cool experience. It was our first time and the staff was all very friendly. Definitely recommended for dates!

Fun Time!

Lorrie_O, Jul 2022

We had a very fun time peddling around the lake. We only wished we could have used the entire lake because it got very crowded at night and we got bumped into by other swans.

“A Day on the Lake”

Bennie_S, Jun 2022

Did have to wait long. We were able to board earlier than our scheduled time. Being on the water pedal boating in our 38th year wedding anniversary was a great experience. The price was very good. Recommend arriving at least an hour early if you’re on a personal plan for the day due parking is limited near the park but worth it if you plan ahead….

It was a great experience...

Rubenia_A, Jun 2022
