68%Baby-Friendly

What makes it 68% Baby-Friendly: Infants ride free and small strollers roll onto the lower deck, but no stated changing tables or nursing room, loud spray and crowd jostling mean caregivers must use portable pads and shield babies from mist.

Niagara City Cruises offers an exhilarating experience that goes beyond imagination. There’s simply no comparison to witnessing the Falls from any other vantage point. While we’ve had other amazing views, this immersive experience is truly beyond words. My wife was in awe, and my son and I were incredibly excited. To get the best spot on the boat, head to the bottom front right corner. Be sure to...

We were amazed with our ride on The Hornblower. The guides were very informative with describing all the Falls. The mist was more like a heavy rain at times with the sound of the thundering water it made for an unforgettable experience. Would definitely recommend this.

Everything was clearly marked, and the staff were friendly and h...

Parking close by is extremely overpriced at $24 per hour, however private parking near Skylon Tower is at $8 for an entire day and it’s only an 8 minute walk to this place but includes stairs through a forest. The tickets can be pu...
