Maid of the Mist

Around $30/adult! But it's worth every penny that is spent! They use an electric power boat! Very good experience for my family! We parked across the park for $20 well better than waiting for hours for parking inside the park! Overall it was great experience

Well worth the money! We got there early and boarded the first boat of the day. No wait time. They run very efficiently. We took our three kids (18, 11, 3). They all loved it, even my 11 year old who was a little leery of this boat ride. They provide ponchos, which keep you mostly dry. So much fun!

Holy cow. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's a must-do! Words cannot describe it! So fun!! And you'll get soaked! The boat went much closer to the falls that I had expected. Since I made it to a railing on the boat, it was nice that the boat did a 360 degree turn so everyone could see all the falls. It was great to go close and see both the US and Canadian side falls, and it was also fun to wave to the Canadians on their boat in their red rain ponchos (ours were blue). We had a group of 28 folks and got a group rate which you can buy at the time of visit - just all your folks have to be there at the same time you enter. We went on a July 4th holiday, and it was pretty busy. Plan to wait in long lines to get on the boat and long wait for the elevator, but the guides there at the park organize the elevator traffic. You will be packed in like sardines in the elevator so hope you aren't too claustrophobic. Definitely view from the top deck of the boat - It's awesome! A ball cap helped the hood to stay on but those flimsy ponchos tear pretty easily. Wear water shoes or plan on your shoes and pretty much everything else to get wet.

At nearly $30/person this may not be a repeat activity, but 100% worth it if visiting the falls for the first time! The experience is unforgettable and shows the true power of the falls! Wear clothing and shoes you don't mind getting wet. Even with a poncho, my sleeves and shoes were very wet, but I was prepared for that and brought additional clothing and shoes for after the ride! The bonus is the stairway outlook after you complete the voyage. This view (the last few photos) is only available if you ride on the Maid of the Mist. That was a nice bonus view! This is well worth the $$, and every staff member we encountered was very pleasant!

We had such an amazing experience that we ended up taking the ride twice and still couldn't get over it. The sound of the water as you get closer to the falls was so calming and peaceful.All the staff were super friendly. They give you ponchos but the wind from the falls doesn't let it stay in place and you do end up getting a little drenched.

There was a little bit of a wait to get up and down the elevators. I would suggest sunscreen if going during warmer months. The staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The views were amazing and worth every penny. Plan on getting wet even with poncho! This is a must do when visiting Niagara Falls!!

You should not miss this you visit New York upstate! It’s very worth to try and see both waterfalls and it will make you feel having a breathtaking moment. It’s also a safe trip for elderly people too. I would recommend going there a bit early in the summer as the waiting line could be shorter and less sunny while waiting to get on board. And beach sandals would be the best if you love getting soaked.

It's an amazing feeling, you buy the tickets for around $28 per person which is worthy. Only thing is it's a long wait. If it's your first visit you will love it. I got bored because my kid was giving tantrums for sun and long wait till you go to the boat. After one reaches in the boat everything feels worthy.
