Bricktown Water Taxi

AMAZING TIME! 😀 I took my best friend on this tour. It was a Tuesday and the last slot of the night. We happened to be the only ones on that tour yet they still gave us a funny tour that was also mind-blowing regarding the history of Oklahoma. Truly wonderful.

Went for this water taxi ride during Christmas holidays. The vibe was very soft but not too bad. The ride took like 30-40 mins to complete. It was mostly about the history of different buildings along the way and some story about the paintings over the walls. I wouldn't go for this a 2nd time.

We had such a great time on the Bricktown Water Taxi! Our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, and kept everyone entertained from start to finish. He really knew how to get the whole boat involved and made the ride feel lively and welcoming. The tour itself was such a neat experience—cruising along the canal through the heart of Bricktown, hearing about Oklahoma City’s history, landmarks, and fun local stories along the way. It was the perfect mix of learning and laughter. You get to see the murals, restaurants, shops, and even some hidden gems from a whole new perspective. It’s definitely a must-do in OKC whether you’re visiting or local. Fun, relaxing, and a great way to take in the city’s atmosphere!

A must-do activity when visiting Oklahoma City. The tour was not only fun, but also informative. I learned about the history of the state, downtown, and revitalization projects in Bricktown. They have some interesting artwork, pretty landscaping, ducks, and plenty of great restaurants to learn about along the way. Our boat driver and tour guide, Heather, was very friendly and funny. The tour is about 45 minutes, and fortunately our boat wasn’t so full to be crowded. The tour is appropriate for all ages (but if you have little kids who cannot sit still or be quiet long, it might not be for you since it’s close quarters and others need to hear the driver speaking). Get tickets in advance because it appeared some tours were full / sold out. Way to go OKC for building this super cool river feature through the Bricktown area and having a water taxi tour for people to enjoy!

We booked a 12pm and got there early. They were kind enough to rebook us for 1130am. Had a good time, we had the best captain! He let our kids wear a captain hat and take pictures at the wheel once the tour was done.

It's 40 minute tour of about 2 mile length on slow pace small 30-ish seater boat. Some restaurants, decor and murals on the way, but not much else. Commentary wasn't interesting or informative, at least in our case. Can do as there is nothing much to do (besides restaurants, pubs) in this area but nothing remarkable.

Loved it we went and had dinner @ the bricktown brewery and then walked around and then went on the water taxi our Tour guide was ALLIgator she was funny and very knowledgeable thank you for such a memorable time and look forward to coming back

What a super-fun, touristy thing to do! Our boat captain, DJ, was wonderful, with interesting facts about our excursion, which he presented with humor! We definitely learned some things while having a great time!

Heather made the whole ride super fun . Even sang Happy Birthday to my daughter. Lots of information given .

Absolutely a must. Plenty of fun stuff to do for all ages in Bricktown. Right across from the Pete Rose baseball field and Jim Thorpe museum. We took a 40 minute narrarated water taxi tour that highlights the history of Oklahoma city. Our tour guide Daniel was fun and informative. (Side note lots of mentions of Indianapolis during the tour ). Oklahomans are so freindly and downtown earth Tour prices are: $15 for general admission $13 for seniors and disabled and active duty military $12 for youth (6-12) $5 for children under 5. Obviously not recommended during the heat of the day but water taxis are covered. First tour at 10am which is the one we took was perfect timing. One note the arcade does not open till 11 so the only available bathrooms are starbucks (and the museum if it's open). (The arcade has a good selection of souvenirs as well as games and food and drink).

I rate this experience as an A its almost comparable to Disneyland jungle boat ride The captain of the ship has many historical knowledge along with bits of humor to go along the cruise It's well worth going on

This is a very cool way to view lower bricktown. With the awesome temps in mid November they are still operating. The drivers are well versed in the local history and lore and make the trip quite enjoyable. It's easy access to board the boats. There are some steps so be careful. These narrated cruises operate on the one-mile canal in the Bricktown Entertainment District, providing views of landmarks, murals, and historical sites.

What a great place to start off the day! I would recommend coming earlier in the day since it does get very hot with the sun beaming down on you. The ride itself was about 40-45 minutes and I learned so much about the history of Bricktown! If you rather not pay to ride the water taxi, you can actually walk along the canal and you'll still hit all the attractions. Views were fantastic and the canal was well maintained and clean. Highly recommend!

The tour was entertaining and a good way to find new places to visit on the canal in Bricktown!

Overall really enjoyed ! We parked across the street next to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame for $5. And we walked over to the Bricktown Water Taxi, it was easy check in, tell them your name and show the tickets and you'll be good to go. You file into the boat. Toni was our guide and he was very educational and funny. It was a fun little activity to do ! Highly recommended in you're in the area to do it. Very similar to the one in San Antonio.

Taking my daughter & grandsons on the Bricktown Canal Ride. An absolutely gorgeous Friday afternoon, Crisp 50° weather & clear blue skies! Our taxi driver Heather was funny and made the 40+ min ride great fun. Last time I took this ride was probably 15 yrs ago. Even better this time around!

What a wonderful quick tour while waiting for my flight! Got a little bit of history and some ideas for what to check out next. Thank you Ashley!

Having my friend from the UK stayed with us for over a week it was the perfect opportunity for me to play tourist with her and I'm glad we were both keen on riding the water taxi. We reserved our seats online the day before and it turned out that there were just 4 people in total during our journey. The trip before ours were full of people so it felt really nice. The tour's frequency was every 30 minutes and each lasts around 40 minutes. The ride was fun and informative, made enjoyable by the lady boat driver whom I cannot recall her name. I learned a little more about this new city that is now my home for the past 3 years. The boat also passed the Centennial Land Run Monument which happens to be on my checklist of places to visit so that was very cool. It was recommended that I should still tour it on foot as there are many details that aren't visible from the boat. I'm planning on dragging the husband to experience this water taxi ride, he has lived in OKC most of his life and he still hasn't been!

Absolutely loved hearing about the area and the bronze sculptures were amazing Might try to go to see them at night.

This was such a relaxing and great experience, i thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I recommend doing this if you're visiting OK!

The water taxi is a "must" when you are visiting Bricktown. It's such a fun way to get some of the history of OKC. Our driver lived in OK his whole life so he was a great narrator.

If you are new to Oklahoma City or a visitor I highly recommend you visit the Bricktown Water Taxi. It gives you the mini Venice feel in the middle of Oklahoma. I visited alone and was happy that I did. The captain (I believe his name was Casey) was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of Oklahoma. His humorous personality gave this tour the Midas touch. I really enjoyed myself and glad that I stopped by. You can eat at the restaurants within the area when you're done with the water taxi tour or walk around the area. The full tour is about an hour. I give this tour a must do when visiting. Great event for families who want to fill their weekend day for a few hours.

This was our first visit to Bricktown and the water taxi was the perfect way for us to get acquainted with the area. Our tour guide, Robert, made all the difference in the world! He was very informative and entertaining! I learned a lot about the area and enjoyed the experience!

Captain Andie was amazing. She told jokes and opened the canopy when it started to sprinkle. It was not my first time on the water taxi but she told us things I had not known from before. I would recommend taking the time to ride the water taxi and learn a little bit of oklahoma history.

After my family and I ate at Brickopolis, we decided to book tickets for the Bricktown Water Taxi at 3:00 P.M. The Bricktown Water Taxi had tours every hour, a week before the holidays. It was a cold day, but the tour was totally worth it! The Bricktown Water Taxi is in the heart of Bricktown, downtown Oklahoma City. Bricktown is known for its historic entertainment district, which was recently revitalized. The water taxi ride allows you to immerse yourself in the distinctive and scenic experience! I learned a lot about Oklahoma City, how the city started, and the background of Bricktown through the Water Taxi Tour. The Bricktown Water Taxi Tour is based on the same water taxi in San Antonio, Texas, Riverwalk. I've been on the Riverwalk before, and the boat is the exact same model! Pretty cool! During the tour, you'll learn about the history of Bricktown, as well as point out notable landmarks and provide insights into the city's development. You'll get to admire the beautiful architecture, public art installations such as some of the wall art designed by local artists, and the lively atmosphere of the district. Come to find out during the tour that Brickopolis is one of the newest structures, and when it was designed, the architects designed it to mimic other building structures in Bricktown! Another fascinating find on the tour was the Buffet at Vast during lunch hours! We didn't realize Oklahoma City had such a famous restaurant at the Devon Energy Building! The restaurant overlooks on the 49th floor, the entire Oklahoma City. The water taxi was approximately a 45-minute ride. It was so peaceful and relaxing; however, it was cold out! I'm glad we bundled up in hats, jackets, and gloves before going on this tour! I can imagine that this tour must be wonderful during the spring and summer evening! We had such a wonderful tour guide too! She knew a lot about Bricktown history and made it a lot more enjoyable with some jokes! It's a family-friendly adventure, and I highly recommend it if you're looking to get a great perspective on the city's history. This is a must-visit attraction if you're a local or visiting Oklahoma City.

Bricktown Water Taxi was fun and informative. Great activity for families to learn more about Oklahoma and see the Bricktown canal.

the best water tour with the best tour guide (shoutout John)! we learned a lot about historical brick town, the canal, and OKC. i recommend bringing sunblock and sunglasses if it's a warm sunny day. tickets are cheaper in person but it was worth the $15

As a native Okie I was not sure how interesting this would be, but I was very happily surprised. This was fun, relaxing, and interesting. I knew some of the info the guide shares but not all. I loved all the murals and statues. I would suggest this for everyone.

Heather was our tour guide that day and she was really nice and really funny. The information was interesting for us tourist and okie natives who like to know more on the origins of the state. It was really easy to buy tickets at the window box but I would suggest to give yourself plenty of time to find parking as it is very limited. The ride was about an hour long but Heather did mention the boat was going slower than usual so it might be less time for others. It was nice to sit and catch a break from the heat on the boat. So many places to go eat before or after. Definitely recommend coming for the experience.

I've been on the taxi twice and the guide makes all the difference! The first time our guide was amazing, the second not so much. Also, the second time we went the taxi was packed full which makes the ride pretty uncomfortable. I'm 5'8" and could even sit straight because there wasn't enough space with another guest directly across from me. A nice ride but guess it's luck of the draw in the guide

We had accidently booked the wrong saturday, but the ladies at the ticket stand were able to change the reservation to the next boat going out in 15 minutes. We boarded and were treated to a 45 minute tour of Bricktown and the history of the area. We even learned how to say hi in each of the languages of the 5 major tribes of the state. For those who have seen a few sun rises and sun sets, we found Coyote Ugly!

We signed up last min- and we were the only 2! Private boat tour! Tony was great!!! Thank you for the humor, knowledge, and fun time!

Always a great place to go if youre in the area, the boat ride itself lasts maybe 20-30mins. And has a great tour on the history of the area and the taxi itself. Andy was our driver and she provided a great service and was super thurough doing her job as well as providing a genuine tour.

We had so much fun doing this!! I would highly recommend it to anyone for a fun outing whether you are solo, on a date or with your family! We learned so much about the city and the area and had a blast with our driver Captain Andi! I loved all the jokes and my kids loved learning about the wildlife in and around the canal!

My friends and I had so much fun on this. Anita was a great guide, very interesting and kind. This is a must do if you're in OKC and need to rest your feet!

Great views of the city and a nice way to learn about some of the OKC history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was quick to answer questions.

Robert was the boat tour guide and he was very friendly. He was funny and shared about oklahoma city and how it has grown

Fun trip around the canal. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We were the customers that kept changing our times from 6 pm to 7 pm and then back again, but they couldn't have been nicer about it all. Anita was our boat captain and she was absolutely fantastic, made the ride all the more enjoyable. 10 out 10 stars and highly recommended if you're visiting Bricktown Oklahoma

When visiting, taking a ride on this boat attraction is a must-do! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and our driver, Daniel, made it even more enjoyable with his entertaining commentary and expert driving skills haha. The ride was definitely one of many highlights of my trip and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and exciting experience.

Friendly staff, good tour around the city, good duration- 45 minutes, highly recommend especially after dark.

Loved our tour guide. What a beautiful addition to downtown before heading to see a Comets game. The statues and historic info was special.

Out boat guide - Conar was knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I enjoyed the tour. It was warm. The sun was very hot. But there was an awning that helped with the heat. $11 for senior/ disabled $13 for adult $3 for a water $27 for about 45 minutes of your day Beats walking the river because THERE ARE NO BENCHES.

Excellent one-hour-long ride on a water taxi through the downtown canal. Our Captain was both funny and very knowledgeable about everything we saw. He gave us an interesting history of the state, the city, the artwork, and the buildings we saw. He engaged with us and was very knowledgeable about the artists and their work we saw as we were floating through downtown. The information he gave us about the huge black-painted bronze statues, depicting the " Great American Land Rush" of 1889, was fascinating with lots of humor. It was a relaxing and beautiful ride. We bought our tickets online and received a $1.50 discount and they were easily added to my Apple wallet. Getting on and off the water taxi was very easy, even for hubby who has bad knees. There is also an elevator about 20 feet north of the ticket booth on Mickey Mantle Ave. so you don't have to use the stairs to reach the water taxi entrance. NOTE: These service workers, like many, work for gratuities-don't forget to bring a little cash. We had none and felt terrible. Going back soon for an evening ride and will bring cash.

This was a fairly resonably priced tour at $13/person. Mitch was a great guide! Very knowledgeable of OK hustory with a good balance of humor. A great way to get a glimpse of the history of OKC, and get some ideas on what to do next while visiting the city.

Beautiful and relaxing tourist attractions taxi, we enjoyed the ride. They offer discount tickets for disabled. (Very nice thing to do to think about others). The Guide was so funny and kind. Narrated cruises through the heart of downtown Oklahoma City's Bricktown entertainment district.

Exceptional! Our boat tour guide, Daniel, was funny, very informative, and welcoming. We learned a lot about Oklahoma history, and the revival of downtown OKC, including Bricktown. Daniel added a lot of humor which made the tour so much fun!

Daniel was wonderful! We had a blast, learned about Oklahoma and OKC, the origins of Bricktown, etc ... Lots of laughter! Loved the art We went on the 8:15pm tour, and then set off to go have loads of fun. Will have to come back sometime with all the friends!

This was our first time on the Bricktown Water Taxi, and we had a great time. After paying for our tickets, we waited about 10 minutes for our boat to arrive. Initially, there were not a lot of people waiting in line, but as the boat approached, it seemed like everyone came out of nowhere. Once we were permitted on the boat, we were ushered around the seats, and were somewhat able to choose the seats we wanted. We had a good amount of people on our boat, but it wasn't full which was nice. The seats were very clean and had comfortable padding. Our tour guide was fantastic. He was funny and very knowledgeable about the buildings, and the area. He confidently answered any questions we threw his way. It was nice to have a tour guide who was so enthusiastic and loved his job. He made a couple of stops for people who wanted to get on/off the boat. This was a great way to travel down the canal, see some of the restaurants and shops, and learn some history along the way. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back the next time we visit OKC.

It's a nice little informational boat ride in downtown OKC. Very cool structure and sculptures. It's also a tour of all the places you can visit and party at

Taking on some new and adventurous things while on this 1st half of vacay by doing a little guided tour boat ride. I expected it to be a bit more entertaining and fun like similar ones but it wasn't. The history of the statues, waterfalls and the mosaic walls were stunning. Maybe the heat took away the other 2 stars. *Sigh*

The place was very beautiful. The whole boat experience is really easy and fun. the view was gorgeous, and you must visit if you are in Oklahoma. Also you get to learn a lot of history about Oklahoma. My tour guide was very funny and she had a lot of knowledge about the city and all the buildings. It's a must see if you coming here

Over all it was an enjoyable time!! The stories that were told had a lot of humor and local information.

It was really cool to see the town on the boat at night! All the light and everything!! I really recommend doing this!! it was so cool and educational at the same time. The only thing missing was to get a little wet now that would've been cool. Lol.

Had a good time on this little tour. The tour guide did well and the history of the site is nice.

Tickets don't seem like a bad deal at 13 bucks a pop but it is rather boring and narrated. Worst off is you are literally knee to knee and they cramp you in so you cannot move. My suggestion is to walk around Bricktown yourself and you get the same views. Lots of restaurants around as well as bars.

It was a great experience. The host is very good. She is very nice and friendly. She tells all the details and everything. I think is her name the one who host the ride

It was educational and fun for the whole family. I highly recommend taking the boat ride.
