Just the raw power and energy from the rushing waters of the falls is amazing. It seems each person has their own response to these mighty falls.  Some people scream (like they&#8217;re on a roller coaster) and some people laugh hysterically. It is definitely an exhilarating experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" data-attachment-id=\"7165\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/index.php\/2019\/06\/24\/maid-of-the-mist-niagara-falls-usa\/niagara-falls-11-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?fit=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1440,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS Rebel T6&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1560817735&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Niagara Falls 11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Maid of the Mist - Niagara Falls (New York , USA)\" class=\"wp-image-7165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?w=1440&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Niagara-Falls-11-1.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Above photo: Our view from the Maid of the Mist, heading back.
