Absolutely fabulous time riding Maid of the Mist into the heart of Niagara Falls…read more Check in was super easy and after a short elevator down to the water, we were given a poncho and thanks goodness for that. You will get wet. A small change of position from the boat seems to bring sheets of water onto the decks. Judging from everyone's faces, we were all enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend this.

Just like every other attraction in the city, you're helped from start to finish by moody teenagers who couldn't care less about anything job-related.

Absolutely Fantastic Tour Guide!…read more Kevin with SeeSight Tours was phenomenal! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Niagara Falls and everything surrounding it. His enthusiasm, personality, and entertaining way of sharing information made the tour so much more enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and wanted everyone to have a great experience. We were so lucky to have Kevin as our guide. He truly made our Niagara Falls experience even more memorable. Highly recommend asking for Kevin!

For CAD $48 (~$35 USD) you can sail to the heart of the Niagara Falls! Everyone is provided their signature red poncho to protect your belongings. You can enjoy the view from the indoor cabin or get the full watery experience outside by the side rails or top deck. I chose the bow rails and got absolutely soaked! The views of the falls from up close were truly stunning and unforgettable! This is a must do when visiting the Niagara Falls! Don't miss out!

The falls are amazing but when you ride right up to the falls and you can see them from water level there's just no describing how awesome and powerful nature is! The lines actually moved really quick especially for the amount of tourist that were there. The boat ride is around 20 minutes. The view of the falls from the American side is really good as well when you're riding by. If you're on the American side you can do the Maid of the Mist boat ride, they both take you to the same spot. American boat rides were blue ponchos while the Canadian side wears red. Great for an individual, couple or the whole family! Was not disappointed at all.

The tour was neat and included history about alpacas and their origins (Andes Mountains) in Peru...and facts about how to care for them sheering and more! You're able to feed the alpacas and just so you aware there are specific rules you must follow for your safety and generally alpacas are not huggable animals. The goats were super friendly and my son who is almost 7 loved petting and feeding them. Overall, the tour was super informative and interesting and the shop afterwards is super cute and has a variety of options for you to purchase produces from alpaca sheeting or just memories from the trip. Check it out for a bit!

Personalized and professional motorcoach tours can be a great way to sit back and enjoy your surroundings without the worries of navigating a new area. If you're struggling to plan every stop on your next vacation, allowing a professional company to arrange a motorcoach tour outing for your group will undoubtedly make your trip one to remember. Check out a few great reasons to plan one: * Reduce Stress: Rest and relaxation are hallmarks of any great vacation, but you can't expect to truly decompress and soak in the sights if you're concentrating on driving the entire trip. Motorcoach tours allow you to kick back and enjoy the scenery, landmarks, and events without any road anxiety. * Environmentally Friendly: Because of a more energy-efficient engine, a fully loaded tour bus is less impactful on the environment than a fully loaded car. The efficient and green engines also help to reduce emissions, meaning you can sight-see to your heart's content without carrying any carbon footprint guilt. * Time Efficient: Worrying about the best route to get to your destination or getting stymied by unexpected road construction and detours are problems of the past when you book motorcoach tours. Cover Wagon Tours are highly efficient, meaning there will be less wasted time on your tour and more time to enjoy your trip...

We took our 3 grandsons aged 4 years (twins) and 17 months (with their parents) to Hidden Valley…read moreand it was the first time for all of us. It was a dreary day and ended up pouring!!! for the duration of the trolley ride. It did not dampen our spirits even though we got wet!! The boys loved it!! They fed all the animals that came up to the trolley and got to pet the Watusi cows! The guide was awesome and handled that bus like a champ thru the rain and mud! Of course it stopped raining when the ride was over. We then went in and had lunch and it was delicious!! . I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was!! The burgers were delicious and the boys loved the hot dogs and chicken tenders. The fresh cut fries were an also delicious! After lunch we went to the small animal adventure and fed all the animals in there. Our grandsons have goats so they were very comfortable with the little ones jumping on them. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I'm sure way more beautiful when not raining. lol We will definitely go back next year so the boys can see all the animals again and hope for good weather!

My BF surprised me with this day trip. He didn't tell me where we were going, just that he had a…read moresurprise for me. We drove about an 1.5 hrs. From Rochester. The scenery was gorgeous, the sun was out, I was ready for it. I never asked where we were going, I just went with it and enjoyed the ride. It looked magnificent from the minute we pulled in. The grounds looked Immaculate, with custom waterfalls around the building, and restaurant below. Lots of places for kids to run around before even going into the park. They have a cute petting zoo. With goats, ponies, OMG! They even have a Giraffe. Perfect for little kids to feed and get close and personal with them. Then I saw what looked like a Forrest. That is when BF revealed to me that, this is a self drive Animal Park. I felt the joy of being a little girl again. I have been wanting to do this for so long, and to find out there is one so close felt like an awesome joy punch! You can also take a bus in, looked like an old school bus with the windows and window frames cut out, so kids and families can hang out and feed the animals. They all looked like they were having an amazing time. Probably the way to go with kids 10 and under. We chose to self drive. Of course there is a waiver that we take full responsibility for any damage to the car. Signed it in a NY minute. I'm so glad we did. It was so much fun X 10. After we checked our car. No damage at all We bought 2 large tubs of food, because neither of us knew what to expect, and we wanted to be ready for anything. Highly recommend doing that, these animals are very smart, and tricky, in a fun way. All animals are free range, some group naturally together. But they can choose to roam anywhere. They all appeared very healthy, happy animals, clear eyes, no lethargy. They looked really well cared for. We fed Buffalos, Zebras, Ostriches, long horn steers, emu's, deer, and much more. Our first animal was a Buffalo with big horns. I rolled my window down, food in hand, outside the window, hand flat, like they tell you to do. That Buffalo didn't care about that little bit of food. He stuck his head right through my window, and into the bucket I was holding in my other hand. I was screaming out of joy, surprise, and a little nervous of the unexpected. Lol We had a moment, when we were wondering how to move forward before he ate my whole bucket. He started retreating from inside our window. I sighed relief that he was exiting, just a wee bit too early. Because on his way out, he suddenly grabbed my bucket with his teeth, and pulled it out of the car. I was astonished It was very exciting. We made a quick pivot and evened out our buckets, and I made note to hold on to that bucket tight, and try to keep it out of site. Haha! Good luck. The animals worked together. A Zebra would stand in the road and block cars from going by, while other animals came to eat, then the Zebra would move enough for us to get by and pay, what we dubbed the Zebra toll. Lol. When we fed an Ostrich, they started pecking at my car door, when I brought my bucket in. I did not even care, and I love my car. But being up close and personal with these animals felt like a spiritual refill. Some let me pet them, I got to look some in the eye, and feel connection. I was not surprised by their intelligence. It felt like an honor to meet them at this level. Although the long horn steers worried me a bit, but they ended up acting like babies. They could have easily flipped my car. But instead they chose to lick my hand. Now don't get me wrong, these animals seemed aggressive at first to me. But they understood the assignment. They were just being who they are. Respect that, and you will have a great time. I saw some cars trying to maneuver by delicately to keep their car from getting damaged. We didn't even try. It's a lot more fun to just not worry about, like I said earlier we had no outside damage to the car. Now the inside we had spilled food all over. Hahaha! And I was NOT mad about it. They also have a restaurant, we didn't go in, but it looked nice and clean. We didn't go inside. Being a couple with no kids. We decided to eat elsewhere. I highly recommend trying this place out. Perfect for kids, couples, lone travelers. It was a completely different experience I have ever had. It worth a drive, perfect for a day trip.

Well, my review is a little different than most. What could have been disastrous, turned into a…read morewonderful, experience full of humor and knowledge. My niece had booked a bus tour for her family and myself to celebrate my recent retirement. The night before, we received notice that the bus had broken down and it looked like our adventure was going to be canceled. We were surprised when the owner/operator Joel, offered to salvage the experience and still meet us at the Richardson complex to give us a walking tour of both the newly renovated area as well as the spooky abandoned space. It was pretty cool as it was just the 5 of us and him. Joel is a wealth of knowledge with a humorous twist as he led us through the gorgeous reimagined hotel areas. He actually sat us down and explained how the former psyche center operated and took us through some gorgeous areas full of architectural treasures, mosaic tiled floors and some really interesting stories. Then it was on to the abandoned areas. It's incredible that the complex could get this dilapidated. It will take generations for this place to be fully restored. Joel's personal stories and desire to tell them really made the experience. He definitely turned what could have been a disappointment into a memorable experience. I easily forgot about the bus portion of the tour and will remember the fun facts and the personal touch that Joel provided for us. Even the most seasoned Buffalonian will find these tours interesting and fun. I can't wait to go again when the bus is fixed, but then again, if it's not, Joel can turn the experience around! Thank you for the extra attention! It made all the difference.

Long lines everywhere, even before you get down there. Crowded elevators. Staff doesn't care if you're packed in like sardines. Also minus one star for forcing everyone to take a picture, printing them out, and just throwing them away unless you pay them money. At that point at least give out the examples. Ultimately, I think if you do one of the boat tours, you get a closer view of the falls, and this attraction isn't really needed.
