Don’t hesitate! Do this tour. Our favorite of the week! We’ve been on several different tours over the last week and Lynn was by far the best tour guide we’ve had. She was well versed in the area and goes at a great pace. She was attentive to our questions and had so much helpful and interesting information. She was patient with my mother who has a disability and my daughter who wanted to spend some extra time at the playground at Gas Works Park. Her car was spotless and she was respectful of our wishes regarding Covid mitigation. Most of all she made the tour fun for US! She is enthusiastic and makes you feel special. Thanks Lynn for a great tour!
The Seattle Ballard locks tour was so interesting. Lynn explained in detail how the locks work and the history of how they came to be. We saw the salmon climbing the ladders to continue on their journey. We learned all about the salmon and their long road they must take to lay their eggs. We had some great coffee to. This tour was so educational and fun.
This was a fun tour that included not only the Ballard Locks, Gas Works Park, and Union Lake's houseboats, but a glimpse of native America artifacts at Ivar's and seaplanes landing (and docking) on the lake. Great time with a knowledgeable guide who is willing to tailor the experience to the tour group. Recommended!
On a beautiful day you will enjoy watching how the locks transition boats from sea level to lake level. Pretty cool!
