I would not buy tickets to this show specifically but it was a nice stop on our Discovery Pass. The movie showcased the myths surrounding the Falls and showed some of the history. It looks like an older film made for Imax and then scaled down to a regular theatre screen. It made for a great last thing to do... More

I visited Niagara Falls, NY with a friend from China ... the weather was a bit rainy and windy, so we ducked into Niagara Adventure Theater. We were VERY glad we did. The film is excellent! We loved how it tied the history of Niagara Falls into the Indian legend of the Maid of the Mist. The cinematography was incredible!... More

My husband and I were both extremely curious about the history of the falls and the region beyond the basics of who discovered them, and who's gone over the edge. Unfortunately, any further information in this regard is lacking from the film and sparse in the information center. More

I think it's worth it for a bit of history on the Falls. Get the Discovery Pass to get a discount on the points of interest at the park. I will say, if it hadn't been for the movie, I wouldn't have understood why people were taking pictures in barrels and why there was a male doll figure attempting to... More

We visited the Niagara Adventure Theater as a part of the Discovery Pass. The theater is in the lower level of the visitor's center. It's clean and air conditioned with stadium style seating (thus the "IMAX style".) The movie itself was fairly interesting/entertaining about some of the legends of the falls. Yes, it was somewhat cheesy, but still tolerable. I... More

I inderstand that this was an entertaining & informative movie about the history of the FALLS ... not surprising that some with low intelligence might not get the meaning of this nice historical movie! Me and my family were very entertained by this show ... and a great build up to going into the 'Cave of the winds'! More

This 'film' was strikingly uninformative, and sometimes downright wrong on things as simple as historical dates. The acting was awful, the writing was worse and the theater presentation was even worse. Im apalled that a state park allowed this to be shown. Skip it, and save yourself a miserable 40 minutes More

This movie was very cheesy and boring. My son fell asleep, and if it hadn't been so unintentionally funny, I probably would have as well. I would skip this one. More
