Cave of the Winds vs Observation Tower vs Maid of the Mist: Cave of the Winds wins for immersive waterfall access

Cave of the Winds is the only way to get close to the falls from below, and it’s more immersive than the Observation Tower or Maid of the Mist — both of which cost more for a less intense experience. At $20–25, it’s cheaper and you’ll get soaked.
