I was so favorably impressed with the Bricktown Canal and all the beautiful scenery, birds, restaurants, hotels and businesses in the Bricktown, Oklahoma City area. The Bricktown Water Taxi is THE way to take it all in and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
The quality of the tour guides varies with some being very knowledgeable about the history of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City downtown and Bricktown itself while some "boat captains" are obviously rather new to the area and still learning. But nevertheless, I highly recommend the Bricktown Water Taxi. read less

Thanks, Cassidy! read less

They had a blast and the driver was awesome. Most of the canal is lit up with Christmas lights, and the driver played music at the beginning and end of the ride. During the majority of the ride he gave the history of the area which was pretty cool. The driver was awesome and had everyone laughing a few times. This is a must do in okc. read less

I was completely in love with it last weekend! It’s beautiful along the way. I loved the bronze land run statues! They were amazing!

You see business’s that you might not see or recognize from the street and you can get off and on for one price all day. Definitely worth it! read less

Once you get in line, the boats swing by every 20 minutes or so - so be prepared for the short wait. Once on board they're very clear about the rules-stay seated, hands inside at all times, and have fun.
After taking this ride, I want to go again! The time to go is an hour before sunset so you get the golden hour when the rays are at the perfect height for beautiful light. It makes for better photos and cooler temps in the OK hot sun. The history, the art, the commentary - were all more than I expected.
For anyone with family in town, take them! This is a must for tourists, locals, and parties.
Did I say parties? Yes, because they rent the boats by the hour. read less

Bricktown was close enough to our hotel that the hitel shuttle provided transportation to the water taxi venue.There was a group of 9-10 of us visiting together having served together on the same submarine crew back in the 70's. The guide on the taxi was funny and we enjoyed ourselve (I will say though that the river taxi in Austin is much better). Anyway, we all had a great time and then got off at one of the many restaurants to enjoy a dinner tigether. Definitely and enjoyable experience. read less

Loved seeing the birds, ducks and geese along the route. Our guide was engaging and well-informed and made it fun. The ride itself was not too long so it was easy to do (45 min maybe?). Taking the water taxi ride first really gave us a good feel for the shops and restaurants that align the river so we knew what we wanted to go back and experience further on foot after the ride was over. We did this in the day time but would like to do it again at night. More read less

Our tour operator was funny, and easy to listen to. Loved the scenery, the sculptures, and tips about the restaurants. We finished our day at Bricktown, with dinner at a barbecue place....great dinner! This area reminds me of San Antonio with the boats, etc. I found it amazing, to hear the story of how Oklahoma City transformed this area! Bricktown is a cool place to walk, and dine, and the boat ride added to the charm of this special part of the city! read less

First, many of the restaurants are in the area where one boards the water taxi. Afterwards, we wanted to go to a restaurant on the other side of the canal and could find no way over there.
The ride is advertised as 45-60 minutes and ours was just over 30 minutes. We got to see everything though. The highlight was at the end of the ride out, where we saw the Land Run Monument. We were in the front seat of the boat and the driver took us so close we could have reached out and touched the hoof of one horse statue.
There is a lot of businesses along the route that are nice to see, but one would hope for more than hotels, the Sonic restaurant headquarters, etc.
The ride is not one where you can get off somewhere if you want. We at first thought we might take it to the Land Run Monument and walk back, but that is not an option.
The driver was entertaining and knew his material. Even when seeing a picture of a bison mural on a way - he referred to it as a bison and not a buffalo. He was right!
The one real downside of the ride though was us having a coupon for two free bottles of water. When we boarded and tried to get the water, we were told we had to get them on the second level and at the street. The coupon book did not tell us that and no where were signs that said that either - even at that ticket booth. We did not get our bottles of water and had the ride been longer, we might have wanted them. Sitting in the front seats, the canopy did not extend that far forward and we were in the sun the whole time. Not a problem though as we probably got the best pictures of anyone on the boat since nobody was in front of us.
Would we do this ride again? No! Once was enough. Should you? Yes! It's a fun experience and you might learn a few things about the area, the state, and the history. read less
