Wardown Leisure Boating is hands down one of the best attractions in Luton. It’s a real treat for anyone who loves being on the water, enjoying nature, or just having a nice day out.
They’ve got 10 pedal boats ready for hiring, and you can book online or just show up. They’re open all weekends and school holidays, as long as the weather plays nice.
The best part? It’s super affordable. Kids under 16 can hop on a pedalo for just £2, and adults for £4. Each boat can fit up to two adults and three children, so it’s perfect for a family day out.
Nature lovers are in for a treat too. The lake is surrounded by dozens of willow trees, creating a beautiful, shady spot perfect for relaxing. And let’s not forget the friendly ducks – they’re always up for some company.
You’ll find all sorts of things to do in Wardown Park too. There’s a new suspension bridge for pedestrians that’s great for a leisurely stroll, and an island to discover. If you’ve got kids, they’ll love the nearby play area. And when you get peckish, there’s a café right opposite the boathouse.
It’s a brilliant day out for everyone, whether you’re into having a bit of fun on the water, enjoying some fresh air, or just having a relaxing time in beautiful surroundings.
