Anderton Boat Lift provides children with a unique opportunity to experience what it is like to travel on a Victorian boat lift. It also supplies a superb location from which to conduct a local study, observe wildlife and learn more about the history of the waterways, outside of the classroom environment.

An education visit manager, wet weather location for lunch and bag storage, toilets, disabled access, café and shop all help to ensure your day runs smoothly; making Anderton Boat Lift a great place to bring your class.

The children can observe the boat lift working up close, on a guided boat lift trip and an additional river trip is available to extend your time spent aboard.

The team at the Anderton Boat lift has put together an excellent new education package allowing you to get the most from your visit. This includes a series of led workshops, A Victorian Masterpiece, Floating and Sinking, and Is it a Work of Art?, linked to National Curriculum objectives and QCA Schemes of work.
