Niagara SkyWheel
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.

It rained all day we had booked the boat tour as well. We left early and traffic/accident delays prevented us from going to the boat tour. We can read the T&C's but your company being cheap didn't even want to reimburse half not saying we deserve all.

It was an experience that I will always remember. It was well worth the ticket price. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the falls from up high.

Went on the Skywheel at night so I could see the Falls illuminated, which was beautiful. The only problem was that the view of the horseshoe was clouded by the mist off the water. Might go back on during the day.

It provided a great view of the Niagara Falls & the surrounding areas. It wasn’t too fast, went around three times which was plenty for good pics
