Things to do in Newark

It's cheaper than buying tickets on-site. After purchasing tickets online, you'll receive an email with a confirmation slip, which you can print out or show to the staff at the ticket office on your phone. The boat ride isn't crowded, and they provide raincoats. It offers a close-up experience of the falls and is highly recommended!

A truly worthwhile natural attraction. We departed from New York and opted for a day trip to Niagara Falls. We flew to Buffalo in the morning, stayed at a hotel near the airport, dropped off our luggage, and took an Uber to Niagara Falls. The price was acceptable. I recommend buying tickets for the Maid of the Mist online in advance. We arrived and took the 2 PM boat, and there was practically no queue; boarding was incredibly smooth. The boat departing from the US side provides blue raincoats, and to be honest, the quality is quite good. If you want to keep them, don't throw them away after disembarking. Once on board, head straight to the left side of the second deck to secure a good spot. From there, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the stunning falls from the very beginning, feeling the thrill of the spray hitting your face – at one point, I even felt a little short of breath. Both main falls are spectacular. The largest fall isn't very close to the center, so take your time taking photos and videos. The entire tour lasts 15-20 minutes. Afterward, you can decide whether to explore the boardwalk or visit another viewpoint for the largest fall, depending on your preference.
