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.

Fun, entertaining and educational. Great to learn more about where we live. The kids 8 & 12 both enjoyed it. Especially the very cool cave on such a warm and humid day. Ken was an excellent tour guide and kept us entertained from beginning to end!

Weak, hardly a boat ride more like a kids ride, it was a floating platform on a 1 ft deep manmade puddle
