Now head to Niagara Falls, where there is absolutely no shortage of water - or water-related fun! Take Robert Moses Parkway and follow signs to Prospect Point. Don a raincoat and take a breathtaking ride on the Maid of the Mist. This 30-minute seasonal boat ride will take you right to the base of the American Falls and into the ring of the Horseshoe Falls. At the Cave of the Winds, venture down a series of wooden walkways leading to the Bridal Veil Falls, where you will be only an arm's length away from the thundering water. Waterproof clothing is provided!

Your next stop is Grand Island to visit Martin's Fantasy Island, an 80-acre theme park with over 100 rides and attractions, including a water park and wave pool, petting zoo, Western town, miniature golf, paddle boats, and more.

If you get hungry, picnic areas and various eateries are available on-site.

Next, take I-190 south to I-90 east, exit 48A for Route 77 south to Darien Lake Theme Park Resort.

Six Flags also features a performing arts center headlined by major national artists, and a 2,000-site campground.
