Why a Niagara City Cruise is a MUST, Even with a Carriage!

September 11, 2024

niagara-falls-cruise

Niagara Falls, with its awe-inspiring cascades and breathtaking scenery, is a dream destination for families seeking adventure and natural beauty. While there are countless ways to experience the falls, one activity stands out as a must-do for all ages and abilities: the Niagara City Cruise. Yes, even if you’re traveling with a stroller or a carriage, which we were during our recent visit, this iconic boat tour is an absolute must for your Niagara Falls itinerary.

Accessibility and Convenience

Worried about navigating a boat tour with your little one in tow? Fear not! Niagara City Cruises are designed with accessibility in mind. The boarding process is smooth and stroller-friendly, with ramps to ensure easy access for everyone.

Once on board, there’s plenty of space to maneuver your carriage, and areas protected by glass where you can park it securely. While you will not be able to go up to the top deck, you will still be able to enjoy the spectacular views from the bottom deck.

My favorite part: they actually provide baby-sized ponchos in addition to adult and child ponchos which I think may be the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

Unforgettable Views from a Unique Perspective

The Niagara City Cruise offers a unique and immersive experience, taking you right into the heart of the falls. Witness the raw power and majesty of the cascades as you sail through the mist and feel the spray on your face. It’s a sensory overload that’s both thrilling and awe-inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on the whole family. Aurora was even speechless!

Kid-Friendly Fun

The cruise isn’t just about sightseeing; it’s an adventure in itself. Arielle and Aurora loved the excitement of being on the water, feeling the wind in their hair, and getting up close and personal with the falls. As we got closer and the Falls became louder, I noticed my girls become more attentive to the sounds of nature.

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻 I missed The Trait Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻

I missed The Traitors last night, and I am currently in a state of high-stakes catch-up.

Consider this my formal warning: Do not call, do not text, and for the love of all things velvet and dramatic, NO SPOILERS. If you ruin the banishment for me, I’m voting you off the island—or at least out of my group chat.

I’ve got my champagne, my cozy spot, and a burning need to know who’s being “banished” next. See you on the other side of the Highlands! 🏰✨

Watching Aurora walk down this red carpet, my heart was doing backflips—not just from the excitement, but from a mama’s private prayer that she’d feel as steady as she is brave.

We’re navigating some new chapters behind the scenes, and seeing the world meet her with such quiet, intuitive grace brought me to tears. Minnie didn’t just pose for a photo; she saw a little girl who needed a steadying hand and gave it without a second thought.

It’s a reminder that even when the path feels a little shaky, there is always someone ready to help you find your balance. Holding this memory—and my girls—extra tight tonight.

Share this with a friend who needs a little reminder that magic is everywhere. ✨

The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨ In a city The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨

In a city of salt-stained bricks and winter layers, sometimes a girl just needs a champagne coupe and a theater seat. 🥂

Last night, we swapped the “everyday” for the “extraordinary” at the Citizens Opera House. Kinky Boots is a rock’n’roll anthem to being exactly who you are, and honestly? My silver boots felt right at home. 🎸💎

Boston, go see this show - it’s at the Citizens Opera House through February 22. 🎭

It’s heart, soul, and a whole lot of high-heeled attitude.

Are you a “sensible boots” or “sparkle boots” kind of person?  I think you know my preference! 💋

If you’re currently doom-scrolling through everyone else’s St. Barths stories while staring at a mountain of laundry and a gray February sky—breathe. I’ve got the ultimate stylish hack for my fellow “forgot-to-book-a-flight” mamas. 🥂

We’re trading the suburban puffer coats for 72 degrees of pure, neon bliss at the Orchid Adventure at Franklin Park Zoo. 🌺

It is a total mood shifter. Imagine thousands of stunning blooms, lush greenery, and gorillas lounging in the warmth—all wrapped in a gorgeous Victorian naturalist vibe (think: ornate curiosity cabinets, vintage shells, and 19th-century glam). It’s very Holly Golightly goes on safari, and I am here for it. 🐆✨

Whether you’re hunting for orchids or just hiding from the wind chill, it’s the perfect way to level up school vacation week without the airport stress. 🥂

The Details:
🗓️ Orchid Adventure runs through March 1st
📍 Franklin Park Zoo, Boston
🌡️ Tropical Forest Pavilion (It’s cozy, bring the layers!)
🎟️ Scavenger hunts & workshops included in admission

Go for the warmth, stay for the sparkle. ✨

Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇 Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇⛷️

I’ve got the outfits planned and the itinerary set, but as we head into the chaos of school vacation week, I’m realizing I might need an Olympic-level trainer. How do these athletes do it?!

If you’re looking for a place to pivot from “Mom Exhaustion” to “Alpine Chic,” head to the Frostival Lodge in Copley Square. Aurora and I stopped by last week to escape the chill, and it’s a total vibe. 🇮🇹❄️

Think: Italian Alps meets Boston grit. You can grab @eatalyboston treats, relax in a shoppable @Wayfair lounge, and watch the final Olympic events on the big screens. It’s the perfect “Gold Medal” moment for parents and kids alike.

📍 Where: Copley Square
When: Open daily from 11 AM - 9PM, February 6th - February 28th
🏆 Special Event: Closing Ceremony Watch Party on Feb 22nd!

TELL ME THIS: If Parenting was an Olympic sport, which event are you taking the Gold in this week?

🥇 The 100m Dash to the School Bus
🥈 Synchronized Nap-time
🥉 Heavy Lifting (aka the double stroller)
