About our rating systemBig Lake in City Park is a pretty spot for a boat ride, and the kids can scour the shoreline for turtles. There are pedal boats and rowboats for rent from Wheel Fun, which also rents bicycles, tandems, and surreys for use inside City Park. All that pedaling action can be a workout, which means you can justify a visit to nearby Angelo Brocato’s ice cream parlor afterward. Like jackets (provided) required. Check website for discounts.
