    This attraction is very strict with times. We were scheduled at 11:30 and arrived very early. The ticket taker told us to wait in the sitting area with the food stand. We went back at 11:15, and he refused our ticket again. He told us to come back at 11:25. We came back at 11:25, and we were now the last in line. We had to wait in line about 45 min. The waiting area is not covered, and it was hot. If we wouldn't have been mislead by the ticket person, I may have had a very different experience. The car trip is very short, and only took about 10 min once we were on. For some reason, people really struggled with understanding how to rotate around the car at the mid point. The good news is that it's not scary at all. It doesn't sway. The car is like standing on a stable platform. Walk by and you can get the photos I took. Just don't ride and then say you did.

    We visited in the fall so between the foliage and the gorgeous whirlpool, I was able to capture some incredible photos and videos. My only complaint is that the experience is incredibly short! I would say it was 10 mins or possibly less, as you make your way across once, slowly, then return. Nonetheless, I would recommend you visit if you are in the area!

    This was such a cool experience!! Absolutely breathtaking and so much fun. It literally looks unreal. The staff was so friendly and everything was so organized. One of the best things I did in Niagra

    As scared as I am of heights and deep water...I Can't believe I did this that's crazy! I don't like doing thrill seeker stuff. But on another note, so mesmerizing seeing this in person. God is the greatest architect ever.

    This is my first time visiting this location during peak summer vacation days. The line was very long and is unshaded until you get into the final area with the stairs. Overall, the weight is bearable however when it's hot, you'll end up sweating a lot. The ride itself is enjoyable where you get breathtaking views of the whirlpools beneath. I've been on this twice now and still enjoyed it.

    The view right outside the gift shop.

    It's one of the more unique experiences as far as touristy things go. Though it's a rather short ride back and forth, you're able to glide over the gorge and hear some interesting facts. If you go when the sun isn't blazing hot, the cool breeze from the water feels great. Oh. You might even spot a cell phone or other electronic items people have lost near the beach side of the gorge. There's really no optimal viewing advantage since everyone switches sides when you reach the other end. But, being on the front right does give you a first view advantage.

    Cool ride. This is a quick ride across a gorge. This was also part of our package so off we went. The car fits about 30 people and you get to go to the end and back. But when you get to the other side they make you switch side so you can see both sides which I thought was pretty cool. This gives you a great bird's-eye view of the whirlpool water and it's so beautiful. You could even see people on the other side of the mountain hiking. And while we were up there the jet boat came by. We went early May so on the way back it was really cold and windy but it's only like a 5-minute ride so it wasn't so bad. I would definitely do this again. We took the bus here but they do have a parking lot and it's free to park. They also have a really cute gift store and bathrooms.

    Pretty cool ride, but bring a jacket and hat on a cold day

    If you have a fear of falling to your death and drowning than this may not be the ride for you. It literally takes you 100+ feet over the category six rapids. Honestly it's really not too bad, the ride moves slowly and smoothly and you spend most of the time worrying about dropping your phone while shooting photos and videos. If you have a lanyard or one of those finger hole thingies attached to your phone, I recommend using it for this ride so you don't drop it into the abyss. Departing, if you're on the right side of the ride you get the best view of the rapids. The left side gets a view of the Whirlpool which is kind of cool but not as exciting. But don't worry if you're on the left side once you get across the rapids, the operator has everyone rotate to the other side of the ride so you can see the alternate view on the way back, very cool. We bought the adventure pass on this trip which seems to be the best deal because you can go to several other activities and utilize the WEGO bus as much as you want for three days. The ride takes about 15 minutes and only one tour is performed at a time so I can see how this ride get backed up in the busier summer months. Today we lucked out because we were able to jump on a few minutes after we arrived; however, the downfall was it was about 52 degrees today and windy, so we pretty much froze the entire time. All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely do it again.

    The line wasn't long if you get there right before your time. Our worker that rode with us was funny and explained the views. Didn't take too long and great view. The gift shop next door was also nice

    It was a neat thing to do once in a lifetime. I do recommend getting the Niagara Parks pass as it saves time. During peak season you will need to make a reservation, you can't just show up. It does require going up and down steep stairs. The ride is about ten minutes across the whirlpools and you do get to switch sides. My only gripe wasn't really with the establishment itself but obnoxious people who refused to move when it was time and held up selfie sticks blocking the view of all. There is free parking and you can hop on WEGO (the bus line).

    The whirlpool Aerocar was such a great idea, it Really is on a must do list if you're visiting Niagara Falls. Some of us were actually afraid of heights, myself included but we sucked it us and pushed forward to have this wonderful experience. And I'm glad we did! So what happens is when you enter the cable car it goes from one end of the whirlpool to the other then they let everyone move forward in a circle until you're standing on the other side, then they come back around so you get to see a new view coming back! That way you don't miss out on anything no matter which side you originally were standing on. The pictures and the views and peacefulness of this experience was a nice contrast to some of the more wet and wild falls attractions we did earlier, so it was a really nice and unforgettable addition to our itinerary.

    Another adventure! If you are here and can afford to check out all the things check them out! This a very cool way to see another part of the falls. The views and the story behind this place are worth the trip alone! We went on a Saturday and it was not very crowded.

    Upon reading other reviews, I have to say that I agree with the other reviewers and that the price is pretty steep for a ride that is only 10 minutes. People in my group, AKA my family members, thought that it was quite expensive because of how short the ride was, which I totally see the side of, but I liked how we were able to go at a slow pace and I felt safe while doing it with my children. There is a tour guide on there that tells you about the ride and the different things about the water, which I really enjoyed. I really wish less people who are talking around me so I can hear the tour guide more clearly, I enjoyed listening to the informational part of it. It's fun going across and coming back, it gives you enough of a thrill without feeling scary. Maybe I would feel a little different if I was going with an adventure pass or something, but I did not buy a pass and bought each thing that I wanted to do separately, so maybe it would be more worth It to have got an adventure pass. Something to think about if you are planning and going soon.

    What a cool view

While I was here, I spent time exploring many of the trails throughout the park with gorgeous views of nature that was well maintained. The park has amazing views of the falls. I participated in the Cave of the Winds experience where I descended 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge and feel the water flowing off the Falls from the Hurricane Deck. I got a ticket to the Niagara Falls State Park Observation Tower where I saw the only panoramic view of all three cataracts that comprise Niagara Falls, including the American Falls. I ate at Top of the Falls Restaurant that offers American-fare lunch and dinners and a panoramic view of the Falls. You can access The Maid of the Mist boat tour in Niagara Falls, N.Y. From the park. I did not purchase tickets for this experience since I rode the boat on the Canada side. I spent almost the entire day here and could have spent even more time exploring the trails and the Schoellkopf Power Station ruins site if I didn't have a time restriction.

It truly is indicative of the civilized country that Canada is and how the Canadians cherish flowers, gardens and outdoor beauty. According to www.niagarafalls.com, "Opened in 1937, the designers of Oakes Garden Theatre capitalized on the contours of the landscape to create a curved pergola overlooking a central amphitheatre. The shaded lily ponds and formalized gardens offer visitors a tranquil escape in the heart of Niagara Falls. Bordered by ornamental iron gates and Queenston limestone, Oakes Garden Theatre provides a spectacular entranceway to Queen Victoria Park at the foot of Clifton Hill.' I cherished Oakes Garden Thatre as a place for a brief respite after trudging up the hill from taking the Hornblower Cruise to Niagara Falls. I saw an open gate and stuck my head in to see if there was a shortcut here to the Sheraton. Instead, I was transfixed by a beautiful landscape. Some guys in a rock band were beginning to set up their gear at the amphitheater stage and there were plenty of children and families about. Seeing some such a gorgeous landscape with benches, seats and plenty of lovely flowers was enough to beckon me in. Later on at the Sheraton, I was happy to note that my hotel room overlooked Oakes Garden and I was able to enjoy some of the rock concert going on at the amphitheater that night. Then the Niagara Falls fireworks show started at 10 p.m. and Oakes is a great place to watch that too. Entry is free all year round. During summer, the place is a hub of activity. The winter months are peacefully quiet with snow covering the area. In winter, there is a lights show at the falls along Niagara Parkway. At this time, the Oakes Garden Theatre also puts up animated light displays along the garden. For those looking to escape the tourist madness of Niagara Falls, this little haven is your answer. It truly is a hidden gem in the Niagara Falls area.
