Took the trip up over the locks and was amazed at the ingenuity of its construction. While I did not take the private cruise with supper it was a worthwhile and interesting visit
A very pleasant park setting with picnic tables with views of the boat coming through the locks. Good parking available.
This would not be a liftlock you would want to use if you are afraid of heights. It is definitely cool to watch the process and the amount of water that flows through the system. Hopefully my next visit will be on a boat passing through instead of just watching from the shore.
It was very cold but we still enjoyed it. Unfortunately due to the time of year there were no boats.
You can picnic on the banks and watch boats come and go as they use the lift lock to navigate the canal and overcome the height difference. Good history told in the "centre", as well as being close to the Peterborough Museum.Great skating place in the winter.
This is a great place to see. The view is beautiful and the history to explore in the visitor's center is fabulous!
Watching boats going through the locks is pretty amazing! Well worth the visit! Located in a picturesque part of the city with lots of green space and scenery.
The highlight of the tour was the hydraulic lift-lock which is a must see/experience. The whole experience was interesting, if a little slow, but the captain's narration kept the group entertained with relevant stories of Peterborough's and the lift-lock's history.
Very fascinating to observe how it works. Amazing detail put into the design to make it work effectively to pass boats through smoothly. Well worth a tour and can get exercise at the same time going from top to bottom.
The Peterborough Lift Lock Boat cruise was very informative on both the history of the lift locks as well as the lock system in Peterborough. Toured around Little Lake and in and out of the lock system. The narrator gave historic points about the locks, Little Lake and Peterborogh itself.Nice as a family trip on a summers day.
