There really wasn't much to see much more of an industrial waterway not really any good senic views. If you do decide to take the boat ride even if you get there early there is no guarantee you'll be in the front of the line because once they open the gates to let you in the real line for the boat it's like a swarm of people just rush you. The workers take the pictures which is awful because they don't give 2 craps how the photo comes out. My eyes were closed then they walk around to sell you the photos. Like let us take our own pictures if you can't take a decent photo! The speaking part of the tour wasn't that interesting it started even before the boat took off. My 5 year old hated it she was bored my 2 year old was a little more indifferent about the boat ride.
