On the North Star Tour you will also take a historical ride aboard
the world famous Maid of the Mist. Since 1846, millions of visitors have
enjoyed the Maid of the Mist boat tours. The powerful diesel-engine
boats take visitors to 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 half hour thrill of a lifetime! Reusable, souvenir rain
coats are provided.
The Niagara Glen overlooks the Niagara River Whirlpool, a unique natural phenomenon that you must see to believe! Thousands of years ago, as the Niagara River slowly eroded its way through the Niagara Escarpment, creating the Great Gorge, a right-angle turn in the river's path forced the rushing water into a deep counter-clockwise spin.
This unique attraction is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro, the organization that originally built the clock. The intricate designs on the face of the timepiece are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants. The floral design is changed twice each year - it features viola in the Spring and four cultivars of Alternanthera along with green and grey forms of Santolina Sage during the Summer and Fall. California Golden Privet and Blue Festuca Grass may be used for contrast.
