Boathouse Row Tours

A river with boats, a lighthouse, and a city skyline in the background.
A riverside scene with a rowboat race, historic buildings, and a calm water body.
A lakeside town with historic buildings, a large spherical structure, and a gazebo.

Water lovers — after something a little more adventurous than swimming? Slip into your swimsuit and learn some new skills at Boathouse Row.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when spending time in West Philadelphia. Boathouse Row is a good place to kick off here, but there are lots of other fine spots to experience. Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, and University of Pennsylvania are not far from the water activities complex and will top off your day nicely.

10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)
This was the perfect place for my group and our needs. Enough beds with options; a dark, quiet room in the basement, a shared room with a two full beds, the top floor king size suite, even a pull out sofa! All useful accommodations for a party of 5 or more. To top it off, the roof top hot tub with a city skyline view was incredible! It was a great location too, in walking distance to our venue in South Philly. Everything worked out perfectly, and I'm grateful that this option was available. Thank you!
