What are three of the best ways for groups to take in the natural beauty of Niagara Falls?
- Niagara Helicopters: Niagara Helicopters provides a thrilling flight and a spectacular sight. From the sensation of liftoff to the excitement of soaring above the turbulent rapids and cascading waterfalls, the Niagara Helicopters ride is the most unique and spectacular Niagara Falls experience. Individual headsets with a taped commentary will have your guests intrigued during this 12-minute experience. Five of the six seats are window seats, and guests are assured of panoramic viewing from every seat. Cameras are a must. Flights are available year-round, weather permitting.
- Maid of the Mist: Enjoy a historical ride aboard the world famous Maid of the Mist. This powerful diesel boat will cruise past the base of the American Falls, and then on to the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Water rushes all around as you soak in the excitement and feel the thunder of the falls. It’s a thrill of a lifetime. It’s North America’s oldest tourist attraction, and millions of visitors have enjoyed the boat tours since 1846. Tours are offered from April to October, weather permitting. Group rates are available, and boats carry as many as 600 passengers.
- Elements on the Falls Restaurant: This restaurant will delight with incredible views, flavors and an artisan twist. With a breathtaking view of the upper rapids and the very brink of the falls, this is the perfect location for private buyout conference receptions and dinner events. The $38 million redevelopment of this legendary venue was completed in June 2008. The restaurant is located on the upper level of Table Rock, next to the Horseshoe Falls and our two-level, year-round falls viewing gallery, the Grand Hall. The restaurant can welcome 250 guests for a seated dinner, 350 guests for a cocktail reception or 500 guests for a cocktail reception including the Grand Hall.
