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.
Really enjoyed the views of the Falls and surrounding area. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend.
This is another great view of the falls. It offers a unique picture of the falls as well as other area attractions.
Big ferris wheel, great view go to ride just before 9:30pm and youll be up top when the fireworks go off over the falls, just a tip
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.
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.
The area is very crowded and not very friendly for people with walking disabilities. The ride is extremely short and we never did a full rotation without stopping. The views are gorgeous. It’s worth it but difficult to manage someone with a walker or wheelchair, even though it’s described as disability friendly. Definitely go, but don’t expect a smooth or long ride. You will love the views.
It stops more than it goes around. Great if you want to see things from up high but not a great ride
Nice 10 minute ride. Certainly worth it to see such a view of Niagara Falls. I would highly recommend everyone doing this.
A convenient way to buy tickets for an event. It seemed to offer a reduced rate at one place I used it.
