Take the voyage on the famous “Maid of the Mist” which gets passengers as close as possible to the Niagara Falls!

Old Fort Niagara is a rich historic landmark; it spans more than 300 years. Its commanding presence on the great lake caused it to play a critical role in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
