Now that the ice has cleared the Lower Niagara River, Maid of the Mist launched its 2025 season today at 10am, continuing a tradition that dates to 1846.

“Opening Day is one of celebration for the Niagara Falls travel and tourism industry,” said Maid of the Mist President Christopher M. Glynn. “Our crew is ready to once again welcome the world and provide our guests with an iconic experience.”

Maid of the Mist features two all-electric, zero-emission vessels: James V. Glynn and Nikola Tesla. When they were placed into service in 2020, they were the first vessels of their kind in North America.

Tours will depart every 30 minutes, Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to5 p.m., and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Hours of operation will be extended throughout the summer. 

Adult tickets are $30.25, tickets for children (6–12 years) $19.75, and children 5 and under are free with an accompanying adult. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online at https://www.maidofthemist.com/schedule-pricing/.

This year’s season runs through November 2nd, 2025.
