Saturday noon around 11:30am, got in our boat ride, with-in 25 min of reaching the street spot. 15 min queue for the Funicular, 1min ride down, 5min wait to get to the boat and cruise started in another 4min. I would say thats pretty good for such a crowded spot. This obviously gets crowded as the day progresses but I think its never too crowded for you to not do it. You should do it!

Buy tickets online, unless you want to save $3 to avoid riding the funicular - those tickets are only available on spot with 5min line up.

The boat ride itself is amazing and apart from the first floor deck, you can enjoy a great view from the ground floor deck front end of the board - especially if you are accompanied with elderly who would like to sit and take break from the heavy downpour once you are in the heart of the falls.

The one and only Niagara Falls!
