点评:I visited Niagara Falls during October fall break with my two kids (ages 10 and 13), and taking a ride on the Maid of the Mist was at the top of our list. It absolutely lived up to the hype!
The lines were surprisingly short, and we only waited about 15 minutes for the next boat. Boarding was quick and easy, and before we knew it, we were heading straight toward the falls.
Nothing prepares you for the experience of getting that close to the falls. The sight is breathtaking, the roar of the water is deafening, and you can actually feel the power of the falls vibrating through your body. It was an unforgettable experience for our entire family.
A few years ago, I did the Journey Behind the Falls tour on the Canadian side, which was neat, but I found the Maid of the Mist far more impressive. We also considered Cave of the Winds, but that experience is even wetter! If you're trying to choose just one attraction at Niagara Falls, my recommendation is simple: do the Maid of the Mist.
My biggest tip: Bring a complete change of clothes, including shoes, and leave them in your car. You will get wet! The complimentary rain ponchos are better than nothing, but they don't stand a chance against the incredible amount of mist and spray coming off the falls. If you're careful, your upper body might stay mostly dry, but your legs, feet, and shoes will definitely get soaked. Crocs or flip-flops are highly recommended.
Fortunately, we visited on a warm October day, so getting drenched only added to the fun.
It's iconic, exciting, breathtaking, and fun for all ages. Our entire family loved it, and it's a memory we'll be talking about for years. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
翻译:十月份的秋假期间,我带着两个孩子(10岁和13岁)去游览了尼亚加拉瀑布。“雾中少女号”游船之旅是我们行程中的重中之重。这一体验果然不负众望!
排队人数出奇地少,我们只等了大约15分钟就轮到上船。登船过程迅速又顺利,不知不觉间我们就朝着瀑布驶去了。
没有任何事物能让你提前料到近距离接触瀑布会是怎样的体验。眼前的景象真是令人叹为观止。瀑布的轰鸣声震耳欲聋,你甚至能感觉到那股强大力量通过身体传递开来。对我们全家人来说,这是一次难忘的体验。
几年前,我在加拿大一侧参加了“瀑布背后之旅”游览,虽然也挺不错的,但我觉得“雾中少女号”游船体验要震撼得多。我们也考虑过“风之洞”,不过那里的体验简直更湿漉漉!如果你要在尼亚加拉瀑布的众多景点中只选一个的话……我的建议很简单:去乘坐“雾中少女号”游船吧。
我最重要的提示是:带上一整套替换衣物,包括鞋子,把它们放在车里。你肯定会湿透的!虽然景区提供的免费雨衣聊胜于无,但它们根本抵挡不住从瀑布喷涌而出的大量水雾。如果你小心行事,上半身或许能保持相对干燥,但双腿、双脚和鞋子肯定会被完全弄湿。这时候,穿卡奎尔鞋或人字拖是最明智的选择。
幸运的是……我们是在十月一个暖和的日子里去游览的,因此被淋得浑身湿透反而增添了不少乐趣。
这里极具标志性,令人兴奋不已,景色也美得令人惊叹,适合各个年龄段的人游玩。我们全家人都乐在其中,这段回忆我们将来多年都会津津乐道。强烈推荐!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
