Swan boats return to Boston Public Garden lagoon for first time since COVID pandemic began
Updated 1:21 PM;
For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, iconic swan boats are returning to the Boston Public Garden lagoon Saturday.
This is the 144th season for the swan boats. Last year, for the first time in history, the boats did not return to the lagoon because of the pandemic.
From May 8 to June 20, the boats are open for rides from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, according to the swan boat website. Then from June 21 to Labor Day, the boats will be running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, weather permitting.
