Extend Your Stay
After the educational sessions and networking
are over, take some time to enjoy the beauty
and wonder of Niagara Falls, only steps from
the hotel. The Maid of the Mist boat ride
takes you to the edge for a once-in-a-lifetime
experience, or enjoy a thrilling ride on the
upper rapids on Whirlpool Jet Boats. You
can also take a guided tour of the falls from
Niagara Majestic, the Sheraton’s in-season
tour operator, or try your luck at the Seneca
Niagara Casino. And be sure to bring your
passport to experience the area from both
sides of the Canadian border, which is only
two blocks from the hotel.
