  The ‘Maid Of The Mist’ is a world-famous boat ride that began operation in 1846! During your ride you will get up close to all 3 waterfalls; firstly the American falls, then the Bridal Veil falls and finally the Canadian Horse-Shoe falls. During this unforgettable experience, the mist from the thundering waterfalls showers you! Waterproof ponchos will be available for everyone.

  Cave of the Winds

  This experience is only available on the American side of the falls! During this adventure you will walk through a small interactive museum followed by a thrilling cinema-like experience about Nikola Tesla and his groundbreaking invention, using the water from the falls to generate electricity- a method still used today! After this comes the serious fun; after poncho-ing up yet again, you will walk on a wooden deck right under the Bridal Veil falls, which is rebuilt every year. This is the only place where you can actually touch the water from the falls. Not only is the feel of the water cooling, but the view is indescribable! But there’s more! You’ll then make your way to the hurricane deck where you can experience 60,000 gallons of water thundering down over you (if you wish)!
