1. Niagara Skywheel

The Niagara Skywheel is a 175-foot-tall Ferris wheel that has climate-controlled gondolas. In the summer you will stay cool and comfortable and in the winter, warm and dry. Trips last 8 – 12 minutes giving you plenty of time to capture different views of the falls. We had about 4 revolutions during our trip around the Skywheel and it was fabulous.

The Niagara Skywheel offers a unique panoramic view of the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. It also has fabulous city views. If you aren’t staying at a hotel with views of the falls, this is a great way to see them from above. (The other being the Skylon Tower)
