We bought an 'Adventure Pass' for $39.95 each. This is definitely
worthwhile. It includes the major activities and provides for
discounts at some of the other activities. This includes the Maid of
the Mist, which is a 'must do' if you visit.
You convinced me about the boat ride. I could pass, but it wouldn't
be fair to the wife. Aw, I admit it. I want that ride.
Do the rain coats stink? What are the other "major activities"?
I stopped there once on the way to Buffalo. Entered at Detroit and
drove in Canada from there.
Do they require a passport now? I don't have one.
Might affect my plans. (-:

Here are the requirements for documents:

The rain coats on the boat ride do the job quite well. I used my
digital camera, without the case, and kept it under the coat. The coat
isn't needed until the boat is right up at the base of the falls. Even
then, it's possible to get to places in the boat which are dry. Once
we got back, we were both dry under the coat. It's definitely an
experience worth trying.
Here's what we bought. Well worth the money!
