This ride was an absolute blast! It is incredible to ride right up to the Horseshoe Falls and experience the mist....well, the DRENCHING mist! Best views on the top deck, and hold onto someone or something when you reach the Falls, it gets rocky! And bring a water resistant camera, everything gets wet! (The giftshop sells disposable ones if you... more

Worth every penny!!! Great enough to be the only "attraction" you do at Niagara!! The American side was less crowded, had a better entry point, had the added walkway, and you got the view from the tower once you were finished!! more

You can't come to Niagara Falls and not do this. It would be like going to DC and not seeing the White House. You will get wet, you will have fun and best of all you can say, "Been there, done that." We waited a short 10 minutes before boarding the boat. I would recommend the top level and if... more

This attraction again can be considered to be a bit on the pricey side but it is a must do experience! We tried a lot of other attractions whilst at the falls but none were as thrilling and exciting as this one. You will be on the boat for no more than 25 minuets and in which time you will... more

You get so close to the falls that you need a poncho. What more could you want? This is definitely worth the price and everyone that goes to Niagra should experience this. more

OK, it may be a bit cheesy, and you will look rather silly in the blue rain coat, but it is sooo worth it. Great views of the falls. Dont bother fighting the rest of the crowds to get to the front of the boat - it turns around, so enjoy some space at the back! more

This has got to the one of the best ways to experience the falls. It is quite an experience...nothing else like it. You can actually board this same boat from both the NY and Canadian sides. If you dont plan on going over to Canada to view the falls, then you most definately want to board this boat from NY... more

I have been to Niagara Falls three times and each time I have gone on The Maid Of The Mist. It is awesome! You get really close to the falls and the view is beautiful. I would advise to board on the American side as each time I tried to board on the Canadian side they had 2 hour long... more

If you get the chance to ride the boat Maid Of The Mist at Niagara Falls you will find out that it is the BEST way to view the falls. Niagara Falls is spectacular from any point, but one must see it from the Maid Of The Mist. This boat will take you right down to the bottom of the... more

We just returned from a two-day visit to Niagara Falls. Based on what I read here, on TripAdvisor, my family and I decided to take the Maid voyage from the NY side. We noticed that the lines on the Canadian side were long and since it was REALLY hot, we figured that the ride over the Rainbow Bridge in an... more
