Fun Facts

Originally, it was a ferry service between the United States and Canada before becoming a tourist attraction.

In 2020, the Maid of the Mist launched two new electric boats, making them the first of their kind in the United States.

The boats have been featured in movies like 'Bruce Almighty' and 'Superman II,' showcasing the breathtaking views of Niagara Falls.

While the original service connected both countries, the current tours depart exclusively from Niagara Falls, New York.

Notable figures like Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana have taken the iconic boat tour.

The boats venture as close as 600 feet to the base of the Horseshoe Falls, offering an exhilarating experience.

The tours typically run from late April to early November, depending on weather conditions.
