Very friendly people. Great displays. A lot of interactive things for kids.

After you have your food, you walk back up the stairs, sit on your bench with the tray on your lap, and eat. They provide assistance if you can't do the stairs and it is BYOB. It's a little crude, and they want it that way so that you can see that this was not a glamorous life living and working on a canal boat. Next time, we'll bring a cooler with our own water. Since it was so hot, we wore shorts.
We signed up for a dinner cruise on the canal boat, and it was a great time! Our tickets also included admission to the museum. We boarded the boat at 5:20 pm, and we left the dock promptly at 5:30 pm. The mules pulled us to lock #47 while a speaker shared the history of Bethlehem Steel and the canals. After we exited the lock and they turned the boat around, they started serving dinner, and the entertainer played live music. We arrived back at the dock at 8 pm.
A note about dinner. You sit on benches on the top of the boat covered with a canopy. Dinner is served buffet-style down below. You walk down the steps, get a cafeteria tray, plastic plates and silverware, drinks, and dessert. The caterers were Culinary Experts from the Allentown Fairground Markets. The theme of the dinner was Eastern European since that was the ethnicity of many of the canal boat operators. The food was excellent! The menu included the following: Pepper Slaw,
Reservations and prepayment are required, and it books up fast. We were there on a 100 degree August evening, and it was steamy! It is a rain/ shine event. If there is lightning or stores, they will not take the boat out and will move the event inside the museum.
We love here. Great combo of shade and sun. Perfect place for a reunion or birthday party with kids.
Need to come back they are fixing the canal it will be up by next week
Clean and nicely kept equipment.
