Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride

4.5

About this business

Located along the Lockport section of the Erie Canal, this amazing underground boat ride is unique. Using a custom-built flat-bottom boat, visitors go on a half-mile trip through a man-made hydraulic raceway cut out of solid rock, the work of 19th-century genius Birdsill Holly— the man who gave the world the fire hydrant and zoned steam heat. Accompanied by a guide and trained operators, the 1 1/4-hour ride is thrilling and perfectly safe.

Paige was knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. She kept the crowd together, was energetic, had an appropriate loud voice, and a big part of our positive experience.

This establishment denied entrance on the underground cave tour to my husbands service dog. The staff said serval times it was a policy of the owners- this is against ADA guidelines- my suggestion would be to educate and know what a service dog does and where they can go!!!! A totally great experience ruined by a lack of knowledge.
