Visitors are provided with voluminous yellow slickers before being herded onto sturdy wooden vessels. The boats head straight into the bases of the falls, passing almost close enough to touch. Spray stings, the boats rock, and water thunders all around. A tourist attraction since 1846, the Maid of the Mist is still the best way to experience the falls and a must-do for those sticking to the New York side to really get a full appreciation and make the trip worthwhile. Yes, it's cheesy. But yes, it's cool and you did, after all, decide to come to Niagara" (Moon Handbooks).
