You cannot come to Niagara without a trip on the Maid of the Mist. There is a moment when you are in front of the Horseshoe Falls where all you hear are the falls, all you feel is the mist, and all you can see is the mist and the top of the HS falls - you really feel totally... more

OK There is no doubt this is a once in a lifetime experience that cannot be missed, especially it is only $12.50. But it is the worst managed tour I have ever experienced. They treat people worse than cattle. To start we arrived on the NY side and saw a line at a booth that said Maid of the Mist.... more

It's another must do when you're at the falls. It's a great view but when you get close to the Canadian side mist, head for the lower deck or you'll get drenched! It was like standing under a fire hose. more

Loved the ride, had tons of fun. This ride does get you as close to the falls as you can get. But watch that camera, make sure you either have a water proof cam or have some protection over it because your lense it will get wet with droplets of water over it. more

Once you have experienced the Cave Of The Winds, prepare yourself for a second soaking. The boat trip gives you a close up of both the Horseshoe Falls & The American Falls. You get an amazing breathtaking adventure. Once you have rode the Maid of the Mist, you want to go back on it over & over again. more

Ok, it may be a typical tourist attraction, but it is absolutetly worth it! You get a great view of the falls and the rapids from the boat. more

I lack the words to truly give justice to what this ride is like. It is truly amazing to be right next to the falls. To hear the thunder. To feel the power. To be in the mist which feels like rain. The whole ride is truly beautiful and breathtaking. I wouldn't miss this one. If you had to choose... more

The Maid of the Mist, along with Cave of the Winds, are two "not to miss" attractions when visiting Niagara Falls State Park. Both the American and Canadian side boats go the same route and there is no difference. I had the opportunity to go on my second boat ride 4th of July weekend, and was very disappointed with the... more

Maid of The Mist When you come to Niagara Falls, you must take the Maid of The Mist boat ride. It is one of the more fantastic attractions, if not the best attraction in Niagara Falls. You will leave the dock, on either the Canadian or the American side to make your way towards the Horseshoe Falls. You’ll pass the... more
