Maid Of The Mist


If there is one attraction that everyone knows of in Niagara Falls, it's the Maid of the Mist.  For over 100 years they have been taking daring travelers as close to falls as is safely allowed.  While long lines form to board the boat, the boat holds hundreds of people, so the line moves fast.  Be sure before you board that you secure your camera in some type of waterproofing as you will get soaked!

Once on board, try to get to the starboard (or right) side of the boat to get the closest and best view of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.  Most people intuitively try to avoid this side as you start off with the opposite side facing the American Falls, so it should be easy to secure a spot.

Not much else can be said about this boat ride in words, but from the pictures below, you'll see why it's well worth taking your time to do.

If you're considering doing this attraction as well as the other popular ones in the area, I'd highly recommend getting the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass to save a few bucks.  It combines the price of this attraction, the Journey Behind The Falls, the White Water Walk and Niagara's Fury all into one.
