Amazing boat trip, fun and informative. the cafe upstairs is nice too.
Good place to spend a half day, really enjoyable and interesting
We know that some people might be nervous of heading into the darkness underground. if this applies to someone in your group, please be assured that the boats have lights fitted which are left on for most of the trip, and can be kept on if necessary – please let us know before you visit. we can also provide a ‘magic lantern’ for guests to borrow free of charge for their trip which we’ve found can help them feel braver when taking the trip underground. these lanterns have a soft and reassuring glow. please get in touch before you visit if you think you may wish to borrow a lantern and we can have it ready for you when you arrive. visual impairments our boat tour is available with special narration for the visually impaired by prior booking only – please give us a call to book. hearing impairments the boat tour is available in a written format for people with hearing impairment. please enquire before your visit so we can ensure one is waiting for you on the day of your visit. a hearing loop is available in the gongoozler, at the ticket desk and in our function room. please set devices to t. quieter boat trips we appreciate that some individuals may find crowds and noise distressing. our quieter times are midweek during term time. our quietest 45 minute boat trips are in the morning at 10.30 and 11.00 however we do have pre-booked school groups visiting on some days, so please ring before your visit for more information.
Nice place to visit
The dudley canal tunnel was the highlight of a recent trip to the black country. it sounds a bit of a contradiction but there is just so much to see inside this dark tunnel. the excellent tour guide on the boat tells you so much of the history of the place, from the jurassic age up to the industrial revolution. there is a very good visitor centre and free car park. it is something i have wanted to see for many years and it exceeded all my expectations. highly recommended.
