    Come early.  Line starts around 7.

    OMG. So worth the trip over the bridge. Zip lining The Falls is really just plain fun. It's something for all ages (at least over 7), and will bring out the kid in you. You should make reservations online and fill out their waiver online. It'll save you time when you get there. Don't be late, it's all timed. Wear sneakers or other outside shoes. Don't carry too much, you don't want to have things in your pocket that can fall. Right now this is what you can do, but the park has other attractions coming too. Soon it'll have more options for all to explore, so even if you don't want to zipline there will be something else that interests you. It's not cheap, but a little less given the current exchange rate. 2508

    I would to start off with the disclaimer that you don't really zip-line "Over the Falls," you actually zip-line along it. Also, this attraction just started up, so there will be some growing pains and a much longer than expected wait due to the nature of so many people wanting the experience the "cool, new thing." It was VERY busy there, and despite having a reservation at 11:30am I was not harnessed up until well after 1:00pm. Because I was alone, I was expedited up the line to join an odd numbered group. I'm happy they accommodated me, but I really wonder how long my wait truly would have been if I stayed in line! :O From the base of the building up the the top where you get harnessed, there is always a nice view to take photos. The zip-line mechanism itself is a seated one, so there's no need to pull your weigh up or swing your legs: You just sit down and enjoy the ride. Your harness also has a zipped pouch to put all your belongings in, so use it and don't risk having anything fall out of your pocket! I want to assume the ride was about 30-40 seconds long depending on how you position yourself (Check my tip). From what I saw, selfie sticks and GoPros were allowed, but you can't use your cellphone on the ride. Throw it in your pouch. I was informed by the staff that eventually they will offer photo/video services in the near future. If there are any improvements that I could recommend, it's to label the line entrance or the check-in building to segregate those that made reservations from those just walking in. All day the staff had to ask people one-by-one if they made a reservation, and relocate them if they didn't. It was very disorganized and a simple sign would save the staff a lot of time and grief. Overall, for $50, this wasn't a bad ride and view. It's a cool attraction! I'm kind of desensitized to this from the other things I've done, so I didn't find it very "thrilling." However, I'm sure it will be for anyone trying it out casually!

    I was able to get pics of some friends when they were coming down but none of myself since there was no photographer that day.

    I enjoyed the experience, but many of the intricacies made it less special. We thought that making reservations and filling out the waiver online would save time. Boy were we wrong. When we arrived, we had to wait in the same general wait line as everyone else who had not paid or signed a waiver yet. We waited in line for at least 15 minutes, which caused us to be late for our appointed time. Not that that made a difference, it was still first come, first served. When we finally arrived at the window, we were weighed and given a wristband and never asked for our IDs to verify it was our reservation. Then after walking up to the platform we were weighed again and informed that the photographer was not here today. What!? How do you not have a photographer at a tourist attraction?! And we were not allowed to have anything in our hands during the zip line so we couldn't take pics of ourselves while flying. This was infuriating. One the the positive things is that the harness has a backpack that you can put all your belongings in. During the ride, I initially thought that it was slow, but then realized that I wouldn't have wanted to whizz past and not soak in the beauty of Niagara Falls. Again, the experience was outstanding, but the details were faulty. When we finished the ride, we were directed to a shuttle bus that drove us back to the beginning. During the ride, the driver gave us some local site information, I liked learning those facts. Lastly, as Andrew P's review states, "I would to start off with the disclaimer that you don't really zip-line "Over the Falls," you actually zip-line along it."

    I had an amazing time when I went Zip lining across the beautiful falls. I am terrified of heights but found the courage to give this a try. The scariest part was having to put my arms out during the zip line. It does go very fast and it jerked pretty hard at the end. A van took me back to the Canada side after I was done with the zip line. It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Would I do it again? Possibly. But it would take a lot to get the courage to zip line that high again. It was an adrenaline rushing yet beautiful moment zip lining here.

    Though this was cool, it was not what the video or hype made you think it was. You're not really that close to the waterfalls and it's just a straight shot down. Not worth the money. Not worth the wait.

    We did the zip lining here and it was a lot of fun. I was very annoyed by the fact their GoPro was messed up and I couldn't buy the video and photos of my friend and I zip lining but everyone else video worked. I would've bought the video and pictures because I was very excited about coming here. The lady was like well you can buy your other friends video instead but you only saw us for a few seconds so I wasn't about to do that. Make sure everything works before you get people excited please.

    Such a great adrenaline rush!

    My husband and I reserved to do the new zip line at Niagara Falls as soon as we heard it was open. We LOVED it. It really goes beside the falls more than over them. We weren't scared at all. Open your arms and legs to slow yourself down and enjoy the view longer. Extremely helpful and friendly staff.

    Unreal experience. Pay about a dollar a second but worth every second ... make sure you take your time down the zip line by "starfishing" all the way down. Must do in Niagara.

Being that close to the falls really makes you appreciate how powerful and beautiful they are. If you're visiting Niagara Falls, this is definitely an experience worth doing.

I will admit I have never been out of the country, and Yelping was a little rougher for me when it came to restaurants. I just didn't know distances from the hotel to where I was looking for things to do. So, I left food to them. I had fun finding activities for them, and this boat ride ended up being another success on my scoreboard. You do have to schedule a time, but they ended up not checking the time, they just scanned the tickets I forwarded to my husband's email. Easy enough. So, FYI, the Canadian boat typically has more people on the cruise than the U.S. side. It was packed! Not sure how I would have like that, but those things don't bother them like they do me. They will get you very close to the falls, and you will get pretty wet, but they do give you a poncho before you leave on the cruise. The cruise was about 20 minutes for $42 Canadian dollars. It was definitely something they would do again. It was really easy for me to book. 9/24/25

But the NF Adventure Park is an underrated and largely unheralded fun park right near the heart of the Falls, within spitting distance of the Falls themselves (if you are a spitter). They have zip-lines which are thrilling, and have an amazing view of the mist and the whole area, and after what is inevitably a long wait, you will get to do as much as you like, as many times as you like, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. It was probably the most fun that my German family members had on their trip to WNY, while the older folk enjoyed the Falls, the kids thought this was unforgettable and are already talking about going again when we come back. I'd like to take some of my Buffalo friends here because none of them seem to have heard of it. It's slightly pricey, but I suppose everything is these days.

    I went here with my sister using the Groupon deal. I would recommend calling ahead for the time…read moreslots since they do things in shifts to ensure everyone is trained properly and that the equipment doesn't get too crowded. We had to wait 45 minutes for the next slot (no big deal). We came back and were promptly helped. The staff puts you in the harnesses and trains you on the equipment. Then you are free to climb on the equipment. There are two course levels to help decrease overcrowding. We went on a Thursday night and there were maybe 10 people (mostly kids) doing zip lines and 5 people (all adults) doing the ropes course. The staff there is absolutely fabulous. They were always keeping an eye on people for safety but never call out to you, rush you or pressure you in any way. You are truly free to roam around the course and to take as much time as you need. Simply be courteous to others on their course. Every staff member was so friendly and helpful. Safety is their #1 priority. The equipment was clean and set up across steel beams and you are roped in twice to each safety line (which I also used as a cheat line across some obstacles.) I would highly recommend this place and look forward to going back and trying the third level next time I'm home. You don't need to be in great shape, just be aware of safety measures, be kind and you'll have a great time (unless you are afraid of heights). A couple things to keep in mind: the lot right in front of them is free if you are visiting them. You have to weigh 265lbs or less to use the courses. Their prices are really reasonable. Looks like it's three zips for $10 and an hour on the ropes course is $18 but check their site for the most updated pricing.

The provide a poncho (way better than the cave of the winds poncho, if you are doing both, save this one), the poncho of course is to protect you from the water, because that is what poncho's do. You have two choices here. 1) You can stay on the bottom deck of the boat, and I hear you can remain fairly dry, but I cannot attest to that as, you are at Niagara Falls, you should be on the top deck, getting wet! 2) The Top deck, the Upper decker, they have some seating up here, and great views. The boat navigates so that all sides of the boat get equal views of the falls and get to experience the massive mist generated, no it's not raining on you it's the falls. So, don't be one of those pushing into people/groups to get your shot, be patient you will get your turn. Yes there will be people taking selfies for the entire duration or groupies (not sure what its called if its more than 1), Yes they will claim part of the deck for the entire trip, this is easy resolved with a gentle nudge as they enjoy a small quick journey overboard and get the VIP experience. Wait no, don't actually do that, just ask people to move and/or take a picture of you with the falls in the background. Everyone was friendly!

I mean there's also Cave of the Winds but that's a more intense experience. I decided to visit during late afternoon so there wasn't much of a crowd. They load the ships every 20 minutes or so as each trip takes about 20 minutes. Definitely wear waterproof clothing or clothing that easily dries if you can because from the knees down, it will get soaked and maybe the sleeves too. I put my phone into a waterproof bag to capture the ride and a good thing I did because otherwise it would've gotten drenched. Tickets can be pre-purchased online or day of. Check the hours before visiting as they change depending on the season. An elevator took me down to the bottom where I got my poncho and lined up to board the ship. Apparently these ponchos are thicker than the ones at Cave of the Winds (so the rumors say). I made sure to pull the hood on tight and secured it with the plastic strings and it definitely held up against the waterfall winds! I got a blue one when I visited but noticed the next day, they were handing out red ones (twinsies with the Canadian Hornblower). Top deck is the spot to be to get the best experience. The ship brings us by one of the falls that has a light mist blowing towards us with a gentle wind. Then as we got closer to Horseshoe Falls, boy could I feel the wind and mist blowing my poncho around. My sleeves, pants and shoes were drenched and the water was blowing so fast at me that I could barely see! It was actually so much fun to experience! How else can I get this close to the falls? Wearing sunglasses also helped to keep some of the water out of my eyes. The ship stayed there for quite a while before making a U turn to head back to land. It really felt like I was in the middle of a torrential downpour. Afterwards, take another elevator up to the observation deck to get another great view of the Niagara Falls. Honestly this was so much fun, I definitely want to try the Canadian version too next time! And maybe Cave of the Winds (on Goat Island).

Admittedly, I don't have too much to compare to as I've only done much smaller courses indoors. However, there are still 5 fairly large (IMO) courses) and it does largely require the advertised three hours. I think it's pretty good value for the experience, the relatively high staffing ratio and large course. There's quite a mix of obstacles in terms of crossing, so it's not simply repeating the same thing. All five courses each have their own zip line and some are a pretty good distance. I found staff very helpful and quite patient with everyone. You get about a 20 minute intro, but it's very much needed as you need to know how to hook yourself up safely and even set up on a zipline on your own (but they're there for the first one). I'll be honest, I did deliberately try and position myself near the start so I wouldn't be in the back of our cohort. You may want to consider doing the same, though it seems as though after a bit of time it spreads out pretty well. Note that the giant zipline that goes back and forth across the lake is an extra $18 or so. It's well worth it from my experience since you're travelling a few hundred meters (each way) and get the speed and distance you'd associate with a thrill ride. The ones in the course are still pretty fun though, especially when they're your first experiences. I was okay without gloves as I have fairly calloused hands, and I'm proud of my daughter for barely complaining though I could see they were a bit red when done. They should probably do a better job of suggesting it to people when purchasing tickets as I heard others expressing that they wished they had them. You hold onto cables virtually all times when crossing and at times there's a good amount of tension. Plus, for them, it's a wasted opportunity as they could probably make good money selling cheaper pairs. All that said, it doesn't affect my rating and I was fine personally. For me it made for a wonderful day and mixing: adventure, exercise and nature are right up my alley. A bit crazy that it took me so long to get to this place since it's so close, but very glad that I did.
