This is the absolute closest you can get to Niagara Falls and the experience is thrilling. There is nothing like this boat trip to give you some small sense of the power of the Falls. You will get WET so be prepared and make sure you cameras are protected.

This was the highlight of our trip. It's fast and furious at falls, but was able to get pics and videos I will enjoy for years!

Do this!It's fun and you'll never forget it. They provided ponchos, so I didn't have to use the garbage bags I brought, you will get wet. They let you keep the ponchos if you want. Kids loved it! They also give you free postcards with ticket purchase.

The line was very long but the kids did pretty well while waiting. We were able to take pictures along the way and... More

We managed to barely make the last departure when we arrived. One of my friends was ahead of the group with me and bought our groups tickets to save time. Somehow three of the tickets dropped on the ground in the exchange and we realized we didn't have all of our tickets, but since he had just paid and we... More

This is probably one of the few attractions I've been to in all my adventures where I feel like I got my money's worth. Tickets are $15.50 for adults and that included our keep-if-we-want-to water poncho (complete with hood that I failed to use) access to the observation tower, and a post card (Yay for included souvenirs!) Getting onto the... More
