Illuminated Swan Boats Light Up the Lagoon at Milwaukee’s Veterans Park

For Immediate Release:
June 18, 2021

Milwaukee, WI – The fun doesn’t stop when the sun sets – it’s just beginning! Wheel Fun Rentals is excited to announce they are extending the hours at their Veterans Park Boat Rentals location in Milwaukee to offer night-time, LED-illuminated swan boat rentals on the lagoon!

Locals and visitors alike will be able to light up the lagoon 7 nights-a-week with Wheel Fun Rentals’ iconic swan pedal boats. LED lights are mounted onto the sides and neck of the swans, creating an electrifying twilight experience that pairs perfectly with the Milwaukee night sky.

Night-time rentals will be available at Wheel Fun Rentals on the lagoon in Veterans Park from Sunset until 10 p.m. daily starting Friday, June 18th. Pricing is $11 per hour for adults, (18yrs and older) and $6 per hour for children 17 years old and under and no reservations are required. Having operated in Milwaukee’s Veterans Park since 2016, Wheel Fun Rentals introduced Swan Boats in 2019. These iconic boats have become a staple activity in the area for families, date nights, parties and more.

“It’s hard to believe the swan boats could get even more exciting,” said Rodney Knight, owner and operator of Wheel Fun Rentals, on the decision to implement night-time boat rentals. “We’re always looking for fun new ways for guests to enjoy the park and our products; and, lighting up the boats really makes it an entirely new adventure.”
