We really enjoyed this and it was well worth the ticket price. It was very cold when we went, so we didn't go under the heavy part of the water. We still got wet and it was fun just wish it was warmer. A must do if going to Niagara Falls. More

The hurricane deck really put into perspective as to how forceful the falls are. We went in the spring so the baby seagulls were just hatching (added bonus). The price was very reasonable. More

This attraction was my favorite. My mom had been telling me how much she loved Maid of the Mist and so that is what I was looking most forward to. But I have to say, even though M of M was very cool too...Cave of the Winds was an unexpected favorite. The power you feel from standing on the Hurricane... More

If you only did one thing while at Niagra Falls, this should be it! You practically get right in the falls! More

A must do if going to the falls.It was cold, but just the best experience especially on a hot day. No better way to see the falls. Even kids seem to enjoy the fierce winds on the hurricane deck. Be prepared to get soaked! from the knees/ elbows up.Just wouldnt do this on a cold day. More

You are so close to falls that you feel their real furry. But it is limited to smallest fall that is 'The Bridal Veil'. More

This has become one of the top 5 experiences I've had in my life. My husband and I LOVE this attraction. You must go up to the Hurricane deck and feel the power of the falls, forget staying dry..you have to experience this first hand! If your lucky, you'll get to see a rainbow or two right up close as... More

So the Cave of the Winds is in Goat Island, a small walk from the Maid of the MIst area. You are provided ponchos and rubber slippers. The ponchos were not really of good quality, and it rips when you put them on. But given that the fun is in getting wet, I did not really mind it much. But... More
