Bricktown Water Taxi

Feels more like a floating commercial than a cultural tour. While the guide shares a few interesting facts about Oklahoma City’s history, most of the ride is spent pointing out chain restaurants and hotels like Starbucks and the Residence Inn. You can’t even see many of the actual monuments or landmarks from the boat. Walking the canal would probably give you a better view and a more meaningful experience.

Very interesting canal ride though Bricktown. Our pilot, Robert, was very well versed about the history of Bricktown and Oklahoma City. He pointed out all that has been created over the last 30 years that has helped make OKC a destination. He had some good corny jokes which made the ride more enjoyable. Well worth both the price and the time.

Our tour guide was incredibly kind and quite knowledgeable. The boat ride was wonderfully relaxing. I had envisioned a typical boat ride, but it was so much better hearing the stories behind each statue and painting. I'm definitely planning a return visit, preferably in the evening when the weather is cooler. Honestly, it was a fantastic experience.

Great way to see the river walk and learn interesting historical facts about the area. I bought my ticket on line, easy breezy and relatively cheap. 15$. Boat captains clearly love their jobs. I went on a Saturday afternoon. Each boat seats 30 people and all were full. But they leave every 15 minutes right on time so there isn’t much waiting at all. Narrated 45 minute tour was interesting and the music they played was great. I finally learned where the word Sooner comes from! Only issue was there is little leg space so you are sitting with knees touching. I liked that the trip was a loop so what you didn’t see going out, you saw coming back.

Such a fun and informative cruise! Our tour guide, Daniel, was awesome!! Very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. He even briefly docked to show us his roping’ skills. He appropriately roasted those who needed it (my hubby), while also entertaining the kids. Highly recommend taking the tour if you’re in town and waiting for a tour with Daniel!

I had a wonderful time. My tour guide was knowledgeable of the area and even told a few jokes. Taking this tour is also a great way to find out what else is in the area to plan for other activities. I would suggest this as your first activity if you are visiting the area so you can learn about the area. I arrived in town earlier than planned and was able to change my prepurchased ticket time with no problem with the friendly workers in the ticket booth. I highly recommend this activity.

Conner was great! Thanks for the tour and interesting conversation. Use the app Followbird for metered parking. The parking rate is very inexpensive. The entrance is across from the ballfield. There is a CLEAN public elevator for we limited mobility folk.

I feel grateful that we went on the Bricktown Water Taxi today. Our guide Daniel was excellent, and he explained that this town built the Chickasaw Bricktown Stadium as the first step in revitalizing this area, which used to be filled with abandoned brick buildings related to the railroad industry. Daniel also covered some of the history of the native tribes in this area. It's a difficult topic, even moreso due to the time constraints of the ride, but we learned a lot today. Another thing was that native Enoch Haney was a painter, but built the statue of The Chickasaw Warrior on our tour, and also The Guardian on top of the Capitol Building, which we visited after the boat ride. Haney later became Chief of the Seminole Nation, and I asked how could he do that, as the Seminoles are based in Florida (I graduated from Florida State) and dude lived in Oklahoma? Daniel said there is another branch of Seminoles in Oklahoma, which I never knew. Also learned what a Sooner is (Boomer Sooner), and it's not a cool thing to be. Highly recommend this tour, and hope you catch Daniel's tour and see him show off some of the skills he picked up when he lived in a more rural area of OK.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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*

Sam F. was an awesome hostess, historian, and driver! We so enjoyed the stop off and learned a lot about OKC. Would do it again, if Sam was driving!

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.

Lovely city! Romantic water taxi ride and cool vibes. However. I would recommend having your tour guide remove the phrase "cotton picking" from her joke spiel. It's incredibly offensive.

This was one of my favorite tours. I loved the art work and especially the sculptures of the horses. It was beautiful and a must see!!!

Our family of five loved our trip. Sam was our tour guide and she was very engaging, informative, and funny. We went in the evening when everything was lit up and it was great. Highly recommend as a great activity for families.

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.

The statues are beautiful! Made of Black Bronze, you can almost "feel " you are there! As far as the Water Taxi goes... I hope you get Mitch!! He us fun and very knowledgeable about Oklahoma however, his favorite NFL team is .... the Dallas Cowboys!!

We LOVED this relaxing and cool experience. Our guide was awesome. 10 out of 10 recommend!

What a great time. Sam was very informative and knowledgeable in our ride. She did an outstanding job. We were visiting from Wisconsin and found this on the internet. Thank you for having this.

Andy took us on a great tour! Beautiful & relaxing! (Free street parking on the weekend btw)

Really great experience went at night and experience some really lively night life. The boat guide was funny and interesting as well. Would recommend for anyone visiting OKC!

Our Captain, Robert, was terrific. Native of the area and an authority on the local history and taxes that made Bricktown a class act destination. He was also a lot of fun. Wish it could have been longer to hear more of his jokes!
