Only at Niagara Falls State Park can guests get closer than they ever imagined to the power of Niagara Falls. There is nowhere else in the world where one can ride the world-famous Maid of the Mist Boat tour, walk within feet of the falls at the Cave of the Winds, meet the legends at the Niagara Adventure Theatre, get hands-on at the Discovery Center and go under the sea at the Aquarium of Niagara. The Discovery Pass includes admission to all of these attractions, plus one day of unlimited rides on the Niagara Scenic Trolley.
