We knew going in that this was a must do on our list. It was our first visit to Niagara Falls and was on top of our list. Our family went at 9 30 am on a Thursday (5th of July). It was not crowded at all. I had high expectations from the Maid of the Mist and it delivered. You can't capture the beauty in pictures but take it all in while you're on the ride getting really close to the Falls on both the US side and the Canadian side.
