The iconic Maid of the Mist is every bit exciting as you could possibly imagine! Water rushes all around as you “soak” in the excitement and explore the roar of the Falls. A historical ride aboard the world-famous Maid of the Mist is a half hour thrill of a lifetime! North America’s oldest tourist attraction, millions of visitors have enjoyed the boat tours since 1846. Maid of the Mist boats will take you from the docks past the base of the American Falls, then into the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

Open from April or May to November. Maid of the Mist boats depart every 15 minutes. A recyclable souvenir raincoat is provided free with admission to help keep you dry from the mist and spray. At the end of your boat tour you can visit the Maid of the Mist gift shop.

Super fun and awesome experience, you get super close to the falls, a must-do if visiting Niagara Falls ❤️

While not inexpensive, we felt like we got something of value and have no regrets for our family of 4. I think the only other way you would be able to experience the power of the falls would be to go over in a barrel. I don’t think that’s possible any more so this will have to suffice.

Just visited today with a trip of senior citizens. Unless you are in fit shape and able to walk long distances to the boat it is not for you. There is no consideration for those who are handicapped or have a difficult time walking. Even once you are in line the staff makes no consideration at all just treats everyone the same if you are lucky.

It was WONDERFUL! The staff got us thru the line and into the boat relatively smoothly for a major holiday weekend. The views, the beauty, the ride was just the best! Everyone should have this experience on their lists of things to accomplish
