Taking this boat ride was totally awesome and getting close to the falls was a great view. I've vacationed beaches over the years in the Southern United States. Niagra Falls is a great place to getaway. It is beautiful. more

Maid of the Mist is a must do activities in Niagara. You can't get a better view everywhere. The elevator broke when we came back and we had to wait a long time then walk the mountain to get back upstairs. You have to do it if you go to Niagara. more

We waited around 20 minutes. They put 600 people on a boat at once. It was crowded. Everybody took the edge so... more

Tip- when we arrived at Niagra Falls at 3PM on a Thursday, line was over two hours long. By 6PM, we were able to walk on.
