Highlights

The 175-foot-high (53-meter) giant Ferris wheel offers showstopping views of Niagara River, Niagara Parks and Clifton Hill. Inside a climate-controlled gondola, you can snap photos of the sights as a recording explains what you see during the 8- to 12-minute ride. This budget-friendly Niagara Falls attraction is available year-round, day and night, rain or shine.

Itinerary

  1. Head to the entertainment promenade of Clifton Hill, where you'll find the Niagara SkyWheel rising 175 feet (53 meters) high, making it Canada’s largest observation wheel. Step inside an enclosed gondola for a ride that lasts two revolutions, or about 10 minutes. You won't have to worry about getting too hot or cold in the climate-controlled cabin, just sit back and take in a 360-degree view of landmarks such as Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, the Niagara River and Niagara Parks. A recording tells you what's below, helping you get your bearings as you look out at both the American and Canadian sides of the falls. For another perspective, ride the Niagara SkyWheel at night as the Clifton Hill promenade sparkles with lights.

  • 3Face the Front

    A very nice ferris wheel with cool views of the falls (make sure you sit facing out to the falls). Surrounded by the Clifton Hill midway, this wheel gives the kids plenty of time to see other places they want to go to next. But the line moves quick and the ride is relatively long, so overall not so bad.

  • 3Typical skywheel

    We really wanted to all do this. It was a Thursday night so it wasnt that busy and we didnt have too much of a line. It was accessible for the disabled members in our group. The view was okay. Our only complaint would be that the windows were so dirty you cant really take any pictures.

  • 5Round and Round we go

    If you're visiting Niagara Falls for the first time, the SkyWheel is a popular sightseeing experience, particularly if you want photos and a different perspective of the Falls. The nighttime ride can be especially nice because you can see the illuminated Falls and surrounding area.

About Niagara Falls & Around

Niagara Falls is where the Niagara River drops between Ontario and New York, with wine country, historic towns and a deep gorge close by.

The Niagara River plunges over the Niagara Escarpment in three falls: the curved Horseshoe Falls, mostly on the Canadian side, and the American and Bridal Veil Falls across the border in New York. Boats carry passengers to the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, and walkways follow the rim of the gorge. After dark the water is lit in changing colours.
