If you're travelling to Niagara this is something you need to try at least once. I've done it once during the day at once at night and if you can get on it at night when the falls are lit up it's truly amazing. Each "pod" is enclosed so even in the winter it's warm enough that you can still... More

If you are trying to experience everything Niagara Falls has to offer, then definitely check this out. The views from the SkyWheel give you a completely different perspective of the falls and surrounding area. We went before it got too crowded and waited 15-20 minutes. I'm sure it gets much busier once tourist season starts. Definitely recommend this.

My boyfriend and I are definitely afraid of heights, but we were talked into riding the SkyWheel. It was a little scary the first time around because we kept stopping every two seconds. Once it started going round and round- it was beautiful. We went at night time when the falls were lit up! We would definitely recommend doing this... More

Being there during the off-season definitely has it's advantages! We walked right up and got on the wheel. Still being somewhat cool that evening, we were glad the temperature inside was comfortable. The night view was great and we even had a coupon for the ride.

Pretty expensive for 3 rotations but found a coupon for 1$ off/person which made it slightly better. However we went late at night and so got a great view of the city and falls, and a few extra rotations for free!

Catching a ride on the Niagara Skywheel is definitely worth it as you're passing by Clifton Hill. The view was very poor the first night as it was foggy outside (our fault for going at the wrong time), so we decided to try it out again the next day when it was clear, and we were very glad we did...

Worth doing as part of the pass you can get for the area, if you don't like heights and movement avoid it

Unlike many of the other attractions on Clifton Hill, I didn't feel that this was a tourist trap. The views were nice, the car was comfortable and the ride was long enough.

We decided to go on the Skywheel after reading about it on-line. We had obtained discount vouchers before our arrival (you can do this by going on to the Clifton Hill website and printing them off) and this made the attraction cost approximately $10 + tax. For this price, you will get 3 rotations but as it was quiet, we... More
