Maid of the Mist tour with rainbows everywhere

I was mesmerized by the beauty of Niagara Falls, and I recommend everyone to go on the Maid of the Mist tour at least once in their lives. As we were coming closer to the American Falls rainbows began to appear everywhere! The same thing happened at the base of the Horseshoe Falls, and I got it all on my camera. Later, we joined our tour guide and learned fascinating details about the Niagara Falls State Park and how it became the first in the US.

Had a great time visiting Niagara Falls!

My family and I had a great time visiting Niagara Falls. The kids especially liked the Maid of the Mist boat tour; they said, „It was like a movie but better!" We also got some nice family photos on the observation decks, thanks to the tour guide who took our pictures. I loved the fact that we easily found a parking space right next to the entrance. I feel like we really spend quality family time visiting Niagara Falls State Park!

The Maiden Mist boat tour will take you to see Niagara Gorge and then the base of all three Niagara waterfalls: the American Falls, the Horseshoe Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls.

For an even closer experience with nature, many visitors also get a White Water Walk tickets and enjoy a safe stroll right next to some of the most powerful river rapids in North America.

HEROES, LANDMARKS AND LEGENDS OF NIAGARA FALLS

Your guide will tell you lots of interesting stories during the walking tour. For example, did you know Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest such institution in the US? It was founded in 1885 in order to protect this natural wonder and give access to the public. Many great women and men contributed to that endeavor, and your guide will tell you some of their stories. One such person was Nikola Tesla, a visionary scientist who literally electrified the world by starting right here in Niagara Falls, New York! Together with industrialist George Westinghouse, he built the world's first hydroelectric power plant to use alternating current (AC) generators. As you visit Tesla's monument, feel free to ask your tour guide to tell you more. You will also pass by the Old Stone Chimney, the only remaining part of an old French colonial fort named „Fort du Portage“ or „Fort Little Niagara". It was built in the 1750s and serves as a reminder of different colonial influences in this region. Hennepin Rock is another landmark with an interesting backstory. It is located close to the precipices of the America Falls and offers a spectacular view.
