Best US place to buy Niagra Falls Adventure Pass

[annsteere]

We are going next week and DH doesn't have a current passport. Searching online for the "Adventure Pass" I keep finding Canadian options.

What is the best price place to buy an Adventure Pass?

Also, from reading these boards, I thought we wanted to do Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds. The Adventure Pass has the Journey behind the Falls but not Cave of the Winds. Are they similar, or will we want to buy Cave of the Winds separately?

Thanks!

The Adventure pass is the Canadian parks pass, which you couldn't do if your DH doesn't have a passport. (Well, I guess ~you~ could ) Journey Behind the Falls is part of that pass, on the Canadian side.
(For what it's worth, we were able to buy ours at AAA at home for cheaper than the Canadian price.)


I think the American side is Discovery Pass. Don't know a whole lot about it or if it is worth it or not.

Cave of the Winds is on the US side, by far better than Journey Behind the Falls. I would have stayed there all day, lol.

THANKS! Once you gave me the clue that the American pass is called "Discovery" instead of "Adventure" it was SO easy to find

Admissions are pleasantly cheap. Maid of the Mist is $15.50 and Cave of the Winds $11 per adult. The pass also includes a movie and the discovery center for $33.

Parking is $8 for Goat Island which seems very reasonable.
