Maid of the Mist
Since its maiden voyage in 1846, the Maid of the Mist has remained a classic way to experience Niagara Falls. The itinerary begins at the observation tower on the U.S. side, where travelers take an elevator down to the river valley dock. Before boarding, everyone receives a blue poncho, then steps onto the white double-deck cruise. The boat first glides past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, where the cascading water creates a misty spray at arm's length. It then ventures into the horseshoe-shaped basin of Horseshoe Falls, surrounded by torrents of water rushing from three sides—thundering and mist-filled. Those on the deck soon get drenched, and a boatload of travelers clad in identical blue ponchos become companions sharing this misty adventure amid gasps and laughter. On sunny days, sunlight pierces through the mist, casting a long rainbow over the river valley that complements the nearby rainbow bridge. The entire voyage takes approx. 20 minutes. With no indoor cabin class on board, those wishing to stay drier can stand toward the rear of the lower deck. Before boarding, remember to secure your phone, hat, and other personal items—travel light and embrace this drenching yet exhilarating waterfall adventure.Niagara Falls · 2.7 km from downtown

What travelers say about Niagara Falls

It's cheaper than buying tickets on-site. After purchasing tickets online, you'll receive an email with a confirmation slip, which you can print out or show to the staff at the ticket office on your phone. The boat ride isn't crowded, and they provide raincoats. It offers a close-up experience of the falls and is highly recommended!

That's good. After buying tickets here in advance, you still need to wait for the ticket office to open at 9:00 AM to exchange them for your tickets. It's not much different from buying them on-site; you don't need to show your passport, just your reservation confirmation. Then you can go directly inside and wait for the boat to depart.

5.1当天去的尼亚加拉大瀑布，很幸运正好赶上雾中少女号游轮开航，30美金去体验了一下在大瀑布下的大雨倾盆劈头盖脸从头到脚浇下的感觉，景点会发雨衣，记得自己带鞋套不然全湿。但想看全加拿大那边的瀑布还是乘船效果最好。尼亚加拉大瀑布有好几处观景台，时间长的话可以都去看看，另外还有个风洞景区可以看到新娘面纱瀑布。美国瀑布在不收费的观景台也能看到，但最好的角度也是乘雾中少女号游轮欣赏
