In addition, enjoy the hot glass show performed by some most experienced technicians.

Maid of the Mist takes you all the way into the water. Catch "Niagara: Legends of Adventure," a dramatic 45-minute IMAX film on the new 45X25-foot screen.
Then you can choose either to stay in the Falls Park for self-exploration until return to the hotel or have an in-depth tour ($ 25/Adult) by visiting the Hydropower Station and Old Fort Niagara. Nobody than the Native Americans know better about how strategic Niagara Falls' location is, and the Europeans learned it in the hard way!
