We had a blast. the guide Kevin was just great. he was funny, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. I would recommend this to anyone, it was geared for a variety of audiences.
Took our dad for father's day a couple years ago. It was really cool to learn about the history of the lockes and the caves and how they worked.

Learned a lot about the lock area and its history. Our guide was great! We spent about 45 mins before our tour watching boats go through the locks - so cool! Only about 25 mins from Buffalo and worth the trip!
We sung the song "15 miles on the Erie Canal" often when I was in elementary school. I always wondered what the locks were like and imagined what life on the canal might have been like. Finally seeing the canal and locks in person was wonderful. It was an engineering marvel for it's day and amazingly it has lasted all...
