Amazing trip to almost the center of the fall. Definitely to be experienced, if you are visiting Niagara. On a busy day. the queue can be extremely long (all the way to the main road) but it moves quite fast, so the wait time may not be more than an hour.
They provide you a poncho before boarding the boat. The upper deck is from where you will get the best view - because of which it is very crowded. There is an audio tour playing in the background that provides information on the main fall as well as the other two falls (on the US side).
Be prepared to be drenched as the boat moves closer to the falls. Poncho doesn't really help beyond a point. Someone with a GoPro would definitely have a gala time. They take you close to the fall enough to have mist fall on you (it is literally like rain showers) and the boat stays there for a good 3-4 minutes before returning.
There are some food outlets as you walk out where you can have a quick bite or something to drink. You drop the poncho back on one of the containers placed outside and head back.
