Observation Tower
Entrance to the Observation Tower is included in the ticket to the Maid of the Mist boat ride from the U.S side.   The Tower’s observation decks extends over the Niagara Gorge wall to provide its visitors with spectacular panaromic views of Niagara Falls and Canada at the opposite bank.  Visitors take the elevator to the top and stand more than 280 feet above the gorge, gazing down at the powerful flow of waters and the full drop of the raging waters below.

From the lower landing of the elevator, visitors can board the Maid of the Mist boat ride.  Passengers will disembark at the base of the Tower after the boat ride where there is a path leading to the stairway that climbs to the “Crow’s Nest”, an observation deck at the edge of the American Falls.
