There’s no mistaking the top attraction in Niagara Falls: a ride on the Maid of the Mist, a boat that gives visitors an up-close look at nature’s majesty. When you stay at Hyatt Place Niagara Falls, you’re a seven-minute walk to the boat’s dock. If you decide to seek a different view, you’ll reach the observation deck.
This boat tour is a must for Niagara Falls visitors. Don a poncho and sail through the mists created by the Niagara River’s cascade of 600,000 gallons of water—per second. (716) 284-8897
