Maid of the Mist Reviews

Lots of fun. It's one of the things you have to do in Niagara falls

A beautiful experience, go close to the roaring falls, get soaked in the mist, amazing view so close to nature

You'll get the best and closest views of the falls. But prepared to get wet, soaked even, even with the plastic poncho they give you.

You really have to go at least once in your life. This is not something you will ever truly understand until you go and you aren't likely to forget it after.

They have no organization. Do you buy the tickets online, but you have to get there like 6 am to get a real ticket, and maybe you can get the boat like 3pm. But not sure. The employees have no patience to explain what you have to do. They don t explain anything on they website. I drove 6 hours, tried two day get in on the boat.

Amazing experience of the world number one fall tour must take this when you visit this place

Once in a lifetime you Must go for it.

Make sure you stand near the edge of the boat to get soaked in the mist when the boat approach the fall

Awesome tour which takes you close to falls and it makes you feel wonderful for the nature's things. Highly recommended to take a ride though we had to wait for more than 2 hours. Worth watching but they should arrange more boats.

Best attraction to feel the mighty force of Niagara falls.

Amazing a boat experience every, very relevant price. Feels like you can touch a Niagara Falls.

Get there at about 9:30am at the latest because during the pandemic they are running at 50% capacity. You'll be in line and then you'll be too late for cave of the winds.

This tour was excellent. You get really wet but absolutely worth it. Best view of Niagara Falls.

One of the must do's when in Niagara falls! The view of the falls from water level is unlike any other way to experience the falls!

Experience of a lifetime, we just thought we'd seen a waterfall before!

It s an incredible view when the boat takes you close to falls and you can feel the mist. It s so refreshing. I had to wait in the queue for about 2 hours since they were using only 1 boat for some reasons but it was really worth the wait.

Amazing experience! You don't get that wet if you bundle up in the rain poncho lol your face will be dripping wet so wear some big glasses!

This is a must do experience. We purchased the Discover Pass so we could have several experiences and I would highly recommend purchasing that early in the day. There are several places you can get them. We bought ours at the park. We got there around 9 but I wish we would have gone earlier. The lines for everything we a a little long but not terrible. Everything about the Maid of the Mist is a win. You will get as wet or stay as dry as you want to. Make sure you bring a camera that can get a little wet as well or bring a zip lock bag to protect yours because you will want to take pictures for sure.

Experience the majesty of the Niagara falls with a short cruise ride that takes you close. Definitely worth every penny.

What a thrill. The thunderous sound and the water all around and on you is awesome. It was my first ride. Worth every penny.

You get herded and packed into the boat like cattle, and if you stop to try to put on the trash-bag like poncho, you get scolded by the cattle-herders. But there truly is no better way to experience Niagra Falls. And that trash bag actually does a spectacular job of keeping you dry. It's not glamorous, but it is well worth the entrance fee.

Prepare to get drenched! Absolutely amazing experience! Best spot was in the front of lower level. Great staff!

What a great experience the view of the falls was amazing.

If you visit Niagara do nit miss this. A close view of the mighty water falls on US and Canda sides

Best memory of Niagara, not very expensive, poncho at first to avoid being too wet.

Really approaches the falls, and we are amazed and soaked in front of the falls.

So much fun! Exactly how I remember it as a kid! I'm so glad I got to share the experience with my husband!

If you visited Niagara Falls but didn t try Maid of the Mist Boat, then you simply didn t visit Niagara Falls. A beautiful experience not to be missed. The price for two adults was around $38. There s a trip every 15 minutes, so the wait was not long, which was quite a good thing.

Rude staff. You have to go to experience the boat but at least they could get carnival workers to run it. They would be more friendly.

A must go attraction while visiting Niagara Falls. Amazing views when you are inside the ferry. You will feel the force of water and mist. Great experience.

Loved it except I didn't know that I would come off the boat soaking wet. **Bummer ** but it was still awesome

Incredible experience worth every penny! This is definitely something to do when visiting the falls as you cannot grasp the full beauty of them until you are up close and drenched in midst. You definitely get pretty soaked as you get closer but they hand out ponchos to everyone before boarding.

Be prepared to wait. Got here before they opened at 8:40am got on the ride at 11. It is worth it, but be prepared

The boat trip is definitely worth it! Very impressive, so close to the waterfalls. Shortly before closing is usually not so much going on and you can save the queuing. At sunset, the atmosphere is very impressive anyway!

I recommend them beautiful tour
Lenny the best

Definitely worth the time and money!! We went as a family of 6 with children ages 1, 8, 12, and 16. Our 8 yo is always cold so we went prepared with a Columbia rain suit for her. And we took a raincoat for our 1 yo and he was content with that. The rain poncho you receive with the tour is fine also but adding an extra layer of rain wear is also a good idea- Especially for younger kids because you DO get wet! That being said though, you can also chose to be at the back of the boat and you won t get as much mist . Our crew loved the water and getting wet so we stayed at the front of the boat. If you know you want to be near the front, arrive early. It does get a bit rocky on the boat as you get closer to the falls, so I suggest Dramamine before hand if you tend to get motion sickness. One of our favorite tours!!!!

We were soaked Fantastic way to see the Falls, would highly recommend!

Breathtaking. We went on a Tuesday and no waiting. Very nice staff

Great experience, fantastic views.
Stand on the right-hand side in front ... the best Aussicht.at great fun ... don't forget waterproof cell phone cases !!!

It is a very good experience but I highly recommend using the boat on the Canada side.

Prepare to get wet! Worth it for a close look of the falls. Raincoat is provided but I would recommend you to bring your plastic envelope for your cellphone

A must attraction but it feels like a cattle car due to the amount of people on the boat.

The boat ride was great. We were soaked by the end. The line moved quickly. My dislike is due to the plastic rain gear they provide not properly disposed of after the ride. The blue capes were everywhere. When I think of the foot traffic just that day times the season times 4 boats (Canadian side too) and the water pollution if more plastic I'm upset. It's as simple as having an employee collect them at the end just like an employee hands them out at the beginning. Do away with them. Have people bring their own!

We had such a good time. We stood on the top deck at the very front. I myself would suggest standing back a little ways because when you get close to the falls, it's hard to keep your eyes open because of the force of the water. And even though I had my raincoat on and the hood tied my hair got very wet. The price is very reasonable. Do not take one of those tour buses for $80, they have a free tram that will take you to 14 sites for free and you pay admission when you get there. Much cheaper. We had a wonderful day!

We went in April. It was freezing, with about 30 degree temperature, and 70 mile per hour winds. The river was thought in the morning, then a solid sheet of ice in the afternoon, and then thawed again in the evening. The Mist coming off of the falls felt like ice needles on our faces. It was painful to pee outside, but we couldn't get ourselves to go back in. It's an absolutely amazing spectacle, and you have to experience it at least once in your lifetime. It's great for the whole family. And there are lots of parks and free things to do in the area. Highly recommended

To do absolutely during your visit! Extraordinary experience!

A great n thrilling experience, experienced the power of nature from close quarters.

Experience the Niagara Falls with this boat tour. One word. Amazing!

It's a must do for tourists. Can't get any closer to the Falls!!

A must-do in Niagara Falls. You haven't seen the falls for real if you haven't taken the boat ride! My favorite thing in Niagara Falls, it's breathtaking! Just try to avoid holiday weekends and hot midsummer weekends if you can, because the crowds do get pretty insane. Speaking of which, the Maid of the Mist has made a lot of improvements this year to accommodate the large number of tourists and provide a much better experience for everyone.

Although I do not remember exactly what the tour has cost, but she was absolutely worth the visit!
It gets a bit wet, but in nice hot weather that's more pleasant ...

Great experience on the boat but the 40 min wait on the observation deck surrounded by pushy and rude Indians ruins the beginning of the activity.
One bit of advice... hold on to you re friends and family by the shoulders so they don t barge past you and bump you obnoxiously

Worth every penny!!! If you're on the fence about doing it, JUST DO IT! Especially in summer.
