Couple of Niagara Falls questions

1) Will the American side be open for all activities on May 30 and 31 (the
official and observed days of Memorial Day)? Would it be correct to assume
that both sides will be really busy both of those days?

2) Which activities besides Hurricane Deck are likely to drench you with
water?

Yes. The only things that close on Memorial Day weekend are banks, post
offices, and government offices. Recreational areas are not only opened
on Memorial Day weekend, but it tends to be one of their busiest periods.

Go over to the Canadian site if you want to really enjoy the falls. The
view from the American side is nowhere near as good as it is from the
Canadian side.

Cave of the Winds - American side
Scenic Tunnels - Canadian side
Maid of the Mist - can be taken from either side

The Scenic Tunnels aren't called the Scenic Tunnels any more. The new
name is Journey Behind the Falls.

And to answer the original question, all of the above attractions get
you close enough to the falls to get wet, but rainwear is supplied.

The two Whirlpool area attractions - both on the Canadian side - will
not get you wet. Those are the Spanish Aero Car and the White Water
Walk (formerly Great Gorge Adventure).

I have done all of the above at one time or another, and I think all of
them are worth doing. I like to recommend the White Water Walk, as it's
not just another view of the Falls, but of the lower rapids, which you
can't get a good look at any other way.
