It looks scary, but it's sturdy and you can barely feel the wind. Stunning view of the rapids from above! Definite must if you are in the area!

Really cool experience suspended above the whirlpool. The view was breathtaking during peak fall season. I just wish we had a bit more time on the aero car.

It's just not for the faint-hearted. Open carriage open to the elements. It's spectacular and breathtaking on a grand scale.

You have to give it a go. Because it's there!

Fun fact as you are traversing the line, you cross over to the American border twice.

The view is incredible, an experience you can recant in the knowledge that the tale is worth telling.

Visited on a Monday. It wasn't too busy and I was able to get on the next Aero car. You get a great view of the falls from both sides as you switch sides of the car when you change directions. It's worth going to see and experiencing the falls and the view.

It was a great experience. The cable car goes from the edge of Canada to the other side of the Niagara River and comes back. The view was so beautiful. The whole ride was less than 10 minutes. We enjoyed every moment of it.

Definitely a bit of a tourist trap, but it's fun if you aren't afraid of heights. I mostly love that it's been around since 1916 (tho refurbished in 2023.) There's a bit of a bump at the very beginning and end, when it attaches to the loading platform, otherwise, it's a smooth ride there and back. It looks like for all the world that you're going to dock on the other side - there's a big ropes course up there that looks like a destination - but you don't. You stop a bit before the other side, everyone switches sides so you get the opposite view coming back, and the whole thing takes about 10-15 minutes.

There are steep stairs down to the car and back up again, make sure you can reasonably navigate those. Plus, the obligatory gift shop & ice cream and some washrooms. The tourist bus makes a stop right out front. I'd recommend it most as part of a package - it's a bit steep for what it is by itself.

Awesome views! Workers are kind and helpful. Heads up, there is a bit of stair climbing and descending to take the ride. Also, they sell tickets with dedicated timing for when you will be riding, so plan for that.
Enjoyed everything about it except I will say it's a bit too short of a ride to snap pictures and still enjoy.
