Niagara Falls is a 20-minute drive from Buffalo. We anticipate that the park will be very busy this weekend. We recommend buying Maid of the Mist tickets ahead of time.
April 6 - April 8
9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
A favorite Niagara Falls State Park attraction for more than 150 years, the Maid of the Mist journey begins at the Observation Tower, where guests are given a souvenir rain poncho to wear and board the double-deck Maid of the Mist tour boat. From there, the boat ferries past the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls--the dramatic passage leading you through the roiling waterfall whitewater and massive rock formations. The Maid of the Mist returns guests to shore with newfound appreciation of the power and grandeur of Niagara Falls.
