It wouldn't be a visit to the Falls without getting a little wet! Though it may not be the most affordable attraction in Niagara (but really what is?!) it is definitely something that everyone should experience at least once. Get there early to avoid the crowds which start to get busy in the afternoon, and try to go on a warm day so then at least it'll be refreshing when you get soaked! You can either take the funicular down or save a few bucks by just using the elevator; the funicular was out of service when we arrived so I can't comment on that experience.

Once on the boat, prepare to get wet and make good use of the provided poncho. If you have a small child, the sides of the boat have lower railings which offer a nice view for them without having to hold them in your arms, which I doubt you would want to do once the water starts pouring in and the boat starts rocking (it's actually a pretty smooth ride considering you're in the falls).

Take a few photos and enjoy the wet ride!
