maid of the mist

We want to take our boys(5%26amp;7) to the falls this summer. We are not going to stay, just visit for the day. My husband has some business to do in NY so we can do either side. My question is which Maid of the Mist is better? Why? and are they price comparable?

the prices are the same, the conversions are shown on the website. the route is the same, they simply leave from the same point on opposite sides of the gorge. the only difference is that the us side always has shorter lines and is opened a half hour longer than the canadian side.

thanks, US side it is.

Parking will be easier and cheaper on the US side as well.

Also, if your husband will not be present, taking the children over the bridge might be a problem....

I%26#39;m visiting NYC next year. Will be there until April 17 and I%26#39;m wondering if by that time the Maid of the Mist season will be open?

the maid of the mist never has a set date for its opening, it all depends on the previous winter conditions. last winter while we had decent snowfall, we had many thaws and the lakes and rivers never really froze over like they usually do. they opened up the second full week of april, april 15th i believe. to be honest, thats early by about a week or so.

long story short, your just gonna have to check before you leave home or while your in nyc.

Depends on when the ice boom comes out of the upper river...
