This is an informative and fun tour and what's more it won't cost you anything which is pretty…read moreamazing since the city of Houston is involved! I went with 7 friends, you enter at Gate 8 off of Clinton Drive, just tell the security guard you are there for the tour. There is a nice plaza to wait at right next to the boats. The parking lot is safe; let's face it, the only folks getting in have to pass security! Oh and by the way, you must make a reservation through their online link. They can take up to 100 people but limit each reservation to 10 so if you have more make more reservations. The boat is hardly ever full. A bit before 10 am one of the employees came out to check everyone in and handed out bottles of cold water which was great as it was almost 90 degrees outside in full sunlight. We boarded and were asked to sit inside while they got underway. One of the shipmates gave a safety talk and then we were free to go outside. The boat moves along at a pretty good pace, every now and then it slows for tug boat traffic. You get to see the industries that are along the ship channel. There are lots of big ships and also small ones. Some are loading or unloading, others are being repaired or a clean coat of paint. The shipmates serve coffee for the adults on the way and after turning around after about 45 minutes they offer cold water and soft drinks. There are so many photo opportunities so take lots of pictures. You are asked to go inside while they secure to the dock, the air conditioning feels great. Then you are on your way. The entire crew was so nice, they were helpful and friendly and could answer questions. Please, if you plan to take children, keep them under control. While not dangerous, there are things to watch for so you don't trip and the doors for the cabin are very heavy and hard to open and shut quickly so a child could easily get hurt. I took a mix of infrared and visible spectrums photographs

This is great for a family outing or educational outing with students. This is a 90 minute free tour that requires a reservation. That also provide water and coffee on the tour. The tour guides are very informative So getting their was a challenge, I followed my GPS and still wasn't able to go straight there. I would say look at the direction on the site and follow those. I completely missed the turn and had to circle around a bit to find.

My A/C stopped working in the middle of a severe heat wave. I forgot that only rooftop A/C units…read moreare allowed in the Park. And rooftop units cost at least double what small window units cost. I had recently lost my job, and I couldn't buy a rooftop unit. My cousin installed a small window unit for me. The next day, a Park Manager told me that my A/C must be removed because it makes the Park look "trashy". She said that they were being very generous to give me one week; usually they give only 24 hours to comply. I wondered if health & safety matter to her, at all. Beside that, there were several very "trashy"-looking sites that seem to have been that way for years. Why were those allowed to remain as-is? It just didn't make sense to me. I found a nice little park in the country that is cheaper. It doesn't have ducks, but I've lived most of my life without ducks. I'm out!
