A few short blocks from the LaSalle Canal Boat is the Lock 16 Visitor Center. The restored vintage building that was once home to a horse buggy maker now celebrates another historic form of transportation: the canal boat.

A hub for LaSalle Canal Boat rides, with ticket sales and bus drop-off for group tours, the visitor center is also a place to linger and learn, snack and shop.

Enjoy light fare at the café, featuring free Wi-Fi. Buy gifts and souvenirs at the canal-themed heritage gift shop. Enjoy special I&M Canal exhibits, talks and cultural programs.

Fun. Interesting. Relaxing. Educational. The Visitor Center is all that and more.
