How to Get There

Overview

The Maid of the Mist is a sightseeing boat tour of Niagara Falls, starting and ending on the American side, crossing briefly into Canada during a portion of the trip. The vessels are named James V. Glynn in honor of Maid of the Mist Chairman and CEO James V. Glynn, who in 2020 celebrated 70 years with the company, and Nikola Tesla, who invented alternating current (AC) motor, the standard form of electricity that is used in American homes to this day. Tesla's invention prompted George Westinghouse to invite him to join his team that won the bid to build the power plant at Niagara Falls.
