During peak daytime tourist hours, more than 168,000 m3 (six million cubic feet) of water go over the crest of the falls every minute.

(168,000 cubic meters) of water lays over the crest line of the falls every minute during daytime peak tourist hours. The famous Maid of the Mist ride gets passengers as close as possible to the Niagara Falls! The Maid rides right into the mists thrown up by the roaring cascade as the Niagara River tumbles over the edge of the falls.

Cave of the Winds

The Cave of the Winds on the New York side of Niagara Falls is an attraction which allows sightseers to walk right up to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls with water crashing down right on them and flowing beneath the decking.
