This was an amazing experience. I was a little hesitant at first because I am not a big fan of heights, however this blew my mind how awesome it was. We got some amazing views of the rapids and the beautiful scenery. My family loved and and we consistently talk about how amazing this trip was. We cant wait to go back and visit! I highly recommend it!

I gave this a three star simply on the lack of value. For 2 kids, 2 adults and a senior we paid $90 for this expirence. I wasnt sure what to expect, but I know the ride didnt live up to expectation. While the view is nice, the views can be seen from the building as well down at the foot of the whirlpool while saving the $90. The ride was said to last 10 minutes but we were back on the land in 7.5 minutes. The car goes out slowly and comes back slowly.The covid precautions are done very well. There is plexiglass which seperates you from the other parties. I will not return as mentioned the value is just not there for this ride. Everything is well maintained and clean.

Whirlpool Aero Car allows you to see the water deep down as you see the place in 3D but also it gives you better view on the side of canada and USA and the services are great offered by WeGoI would recommend anyone who wants to go to this place to get Ticket of 67$ since it enables you to visit different places like going to White Water walk, Whirlpool Aero Car and Journey behind the falls plus it includes Bus pass for the weekend

Great experience. We got a wonderful view. On Thursdays right now, they do a 2 for 1 ticket deal for essential workers. Just remember to bring an ID or some form of proof. Definitely something worth doing atleast once!

Absolutely beautiful!! A little nerve wracking but it went slow enough to feel safe. So much fun!

I had amazing experience at this place. Its 10 min overlook time in a Cable connected whirlpool car on the Niagara River. I feel its bit overpriced compared to time you spent in a Car. But experience was truly amazing. Giving 4 stars just because of price.

Wonderful view above Niagara River. The waiting line wasnt too bad considering weve arrived around 11am.

Very beautiful and exciting to cross over the Class 6 rapids...good price but such a short ride

A hidden little gem in the Niagara Falls area! Nobody really knows of this whole area - so it’s fairly quiet and so beautiful! The aero car itself was an awesome experience - you can see the entire gorge area and all the white water rapids! Definitely a must-go if you are in the area!

Great way to see the whirlpool.The Whirlpool isnt as dramatic as youd think, just mini swirls in the water throughout. Great experience to do once with the family and kids as youre suspended really high.With COVID they allow you to social distance really easily. Theyve installed screens and split the cars into 4 sections.The ride goes to the other end and back.Can get some great photos.

Review №11

Amazing views, well worth a visit. The only negative was we had to wait 1 hour and 40 minutes to get in, even though we had a time slot booked. It was to help social distancing but just a pain if youre not expecting to wait so long. Such a lovely day out. I would really recommend it.

One of the places where you legally can double cross US-Canadian border in the air without passport and enjoy incredible panoramic views from Aero Car. Try it on your trip to Niagara.

Nice attraction and excellent view. Recommended if you are looking for a calm activity to see the falls

Ive been on this in the 80s as a kid, my teenage years with school and in the last few years as an adult. It is what it is, your in an Aero Car above some of the most powerful waters in the world. The view is spectacular, its an experience like no other. You go across, pause at the far side, and make your way back. What couldnt you love about being hundreds of feet in the air suspended by cables over some pretty intense waters? Its great. Little ones will love the experience, its never fallen in. Guess it wouldnt still be there if it did so you know its safe. If your in the Falls, definitely make this one of your stops. You wont regret it.

Its beautiful view for the price of it (35$ for 3 attractions); but its too short compared with the line up of it (1 hour to 1 hour and half). Come very early before any others such as the falls, if you want to do it.

Ri
Review №16

The experience itself is good but there is like 2-3 hour long waiting line outside in the sun. I think they should have atleast 2 lines of the aero car. They were also trying to maintain social distancing so less number of people could board, which is good.

Travel in Aero car was like a dream. Travelling between the whirlpool and the information given by the staff regarding the falls and water its depth was really fantastic. I would prefer going every month if time and money permits with family.

Review №18

Beautiful scenery in the viewing area. Went on the labour day weekend so can only speak to this time frame. Busy beyond belief with many people lined up blocking views to get on the aero car. Was told by the attendant to go to the viewing area which was fine as it wasnt busy. Distancing was difficult in line up for the car but not the viewing area..

Beautiful natural views, mountains and the river, nice place to refresh your soul with fresh air better than sanatorium.

The scenic view is so beautiful as you suspended between canada and usa . The tickets cost is $ 16.67 plus taxes.

Im unsure why the decided to cram the car as if some piece of tape on the railing was going to do anything for social distancing. It was an enjoyable ride but Id rather wait a little more time to have more space on the car in general.

Review №22

Always amazing to visit! Ive been on the aero car 3 times, first time it was during a pretty heavy rain fall and fiercely windy and it was just my bf and I on the tram (& operator), second time was on a sunny and hot day and the tram was packed. Most recently I went in September with reduced visitors due to Covid and the weather lovely. The view is always dynamic! The only thing that sucks is how long the line is and how short the ride is in comparison. For my itinerary, I would always put the aero car as the first attraction of the day to avoid the line up.

Really, really fun experience and I cant believe weve been coming to Niagara Falls once or twice a year for 20 years, and weve never done this before! You can take really great pictures from up there, and it was kind of funny being able to say we crossed the border during the lockdown.

It was very nice, beautiful views and the guide provided us with details and answered questions. It is a short and high ride, there was not line ups to buy the tickets or to get in. Inside the Aero Car there was not many people which facilitated the view on both sides. I recomend it to do it, it was a great experience.

This is a great way to view the whirlpool and rapids from above. Excellent commentary too, lovely staff. A little sedate for mine, but can definitely see it works for those who dont want the jet boat ride. Stay high and dry and get a look down and into the turbulent Niagara River waters

Review №41

This is where 2 of my phobias cone together. The first. My fear of heights if a cable snaps will the car make it to the other side safely or plunge into the mighty whirlpool below where my second fear would happen. Death by drowning.The staff say that scenario wont happenAnd where do you find a guy who can inspect technology that is over 100 years old and issue a passing mark for being safe.However, i know deep down that because if my irrational fears I will never nMarvel at the Whirpool rapids from above.According to family, who chose to defy death, I missed out on a great time.I needed some shop therapy to get over watching them step into certain death and what place better than their small but well stocked souvenir shop located right next to the death trap on wires.

This time, we decided to go with the full-Niagara experience, therefore we visited most of the main attractions there.. This was one of the most memorable, the most fascinating ones! They take you over the waters, where towards the end your kinda over the American side of the whirlpool, which was pretty cool...Also, its a beautiful view from up there, the wind feels nice, the water seems more clearer. Overall an amazing experience and something you should not miss!

5m one way and 5m back. Great view of the pools down below. The operator had a great sense of humour and clearly takes his job seriously. Can’t get off on the opposite aide and no the other aide is not America. The host told us about a short walk down to the water which was well worth it! Catch the green line one more stop north then follow the path.

Totally worth the time, I visited this as part if the Niagara Falls adventurer pass and it was one of the most exciting experiences I ever had.It doesn’t even feel like you are hanging in the air by wires, it feels safe and stable!The guid on the Aero Car was so funny and knowledgeable and made the experience 100 times better.I would highly recommend it, I mean hey! you cross the Canadian US border 4 times during the ride!

We couldn’t enjoy this activity as the morning of was very windy and they don’t run the aero cars during then. So it’s always a good idea to double check with the reception, if you’re at the visitors centre to save a trip to the aero car location!My review is based on the customer service and we received a full refund for this!

Highly recommend. A smooth cable car ride over the massive Niagara whirlpool with beautiful long views of the river. Great photo opportunities with informative narration. We went early on a holiday werkend and had a very brief wait (lines can get long). Very clean, modern facility with ample parking and Green Line (bus) direct access. Dont miss this chance for an exciting view of the river.

Review №61

This tourist attraction is unique. An old aero car takes you over the whirlpool. It goes from the Canadian side to the Canadian side, so you do not go over US territory. The car also does not allow you to disembark at the other side. The ride is a throw back to the early century.On the other end is a park with a rope walk. This attraction is new, and looks like a lot of fun. You have to drive from the Aero car terminal to get there, but worth it.

It was a fun activity but too short for my taste. If it isnt a very busy day, youll be in and out in 5-7mins. The water is beautiful tho, would recommend hiking down to the beach afterwards

Taking this thing across is pretty cool, and just really adds to your experience at the Falls, so I highly recommend doing it. If youre afraid of heights.... fear not! This thing is super sturdy. I promise you, you wont be scared one bit. The staff is super friendly, and our guy even kindly offered to take pictures for anyone that wanted a photo. Do it!

Of the countless times Ive visited the falls Ive never seen the whirlpool. A friend had pointed it out on our recent trip and it was a spectacular sight to see. Glad it was not cloudly and was fairly sunny. Good place to frequent for the view. Ride was closed so we could not cross, however If open it would have been splendid.

This was unreal. I was scared at first but the lady assured me that the car only needs two cable to pull it across but the have six.It takes you right out over the whirlpool. You look right down on it. It is an amazing sight presented by super friendly and helpful staff. Do not miss this attraction.

One of the magnificent sections of the Niagara Falls in Canada. The cable car ride across the fall area is an amazing experience. It really feels like hovering over a massive whirlpool. It is always packed. Tourists come here by buses. So, the wait time can be long. Very easy to find. Just keep driving along the fall.

Free parking. Great fun if you want to see some nature and get away from the tourist. Even if you dont ride I recommend stopping for a minute to look over the edge as you can see some of the river from the free parking lot. We went in October, it was warm t-shirt weather with beautiful fall trees. The ride is very smooth and open air so great for photographers.

The Whirlpool Aero Car was a part of our Niagara Falls Adventure Pass. This was a very fun way to see another part of the park besides just the falls themselves. You get to ride an old cable car over the river and past the Whirlpool below. A nice experience while in the Niagara Falls area.
