I am not a fan of heights and I knew this before i was forced on by my kids. I had to pay to do something i didn't want to do :( It was fairly priced and the wait was long. The feeling of going up and down and the height were too much for me but the kids loved... More

We'd never been on any sort of Ferris wheel before, and this was a nice experience. You're all enclosed in a pod, so you feel safe, and the view all around the area is really nice.

It did have a good view of the whole city of Niagara Falls, but the only complaint we had was that the outside windows were not clean. It had smudges making it a bit difficult for us to see/ take pictures. It is a temperature controlled booth and you can listen to music/guide which was neat. We bought the tickets... More

On the big wheel late at night, great view of the falls all lit up, no crowds, ride lasted 15min or so, staff very good. About $10/person,private clean gondola with a/c and lights. Peaceful trip.

The line went quick and we were able to take a lot of pictures from the top which had an exceptional view of the falls. There was also air conditioning in the cabin which was great considering how hot it was outside. The only draw back was the price was a bit much for 3 turns on a Farris wheel.

There is a fireworks show every night starting at 10:00. We waited and got on at the right time and watched the show from the Skywheel. Note: The next day, I found a $1.00 off each person coupon in one of the Niagara attraction magazines. Go thru the attractions books first for your discounts.

This 180 feet tall skywheel is majestic by day and spectacular by night. Not only is it beautiful, the view from inside is one of a bird in flight. The booths have air conditioning and tinted plexiglass windows to keep you cool in the sun, yet still clear enough for night rides. On top, you can see the whole region... More
