April 29 – White Water Walk

A quarter-mile of boardwalk that runs along the shoreline of the Niagara River, and provides exceptional views of the churning Whirlpool Rapids and Niagara River. White Water Walk is a self-guided experience that provides a first-hand lesson of the power of class 6 whitewater rapids, which are among the wildest in North America. Several viewing platforms branch off from the boardwalk allowing you to get even closer to the captivating rapids for the best views and photos.

April 30 – Whirlpool Aero Car

The Whirlpool Aero Car has thrilled visitors since 1916!  The steel car is suspended from six sturdy steel cables soaring 3,500 feet above the Niagara Gorge which is one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomena.  The Aero Car travels along the cables high above to offer an exciting and unobstructed view of the Niagara River rapids and the whirling vortex of the Niagara Whirlpool. A geological wonder, the whirlpool is the awe-inspiring result of the immense volume of water barreling over the Horseshoe Falls being crushed into the narrow gorge to create the rapids, and where the rapids meet the gorge in an abrupt turn counterclockwise to create the vortex of churning water. This attraction delivers a view not for the faint of heart as you stare down into the eye of the whirlpool. Visitors will traverse the International border between Canada and the United States four times during the ride-no passport required!
