Crossing the border four times withour a passport!

Yep, this is what they tell you! Apparently, once you board on your journey accross the whirlpool, due to the river's twists, the cable car crosses to our neighbours side and back twice, in each direction. Gorgeous views, easy thrill!

Free parking and a GREAT view.

I am not brave enough to cross over on the cable car, as I have a severe fear of heights. I like the gift shop and the view from the deck. If you are fearless, you can cross over high above the whirlpool to the...More

Exciting and fun!

Riding in a cable car above the river is exciting. The view is beautiful. You switch sides half way through the ride. The ride is not very long but is worth it. It’s neat trying to spot items that are stuck in the whirlpool like...More

Beautiful view

It's a beautiful view and the water is mesmerizing. They got us to switch sides halfway through so everyone got to see from both sides, which I thought was nice.

This was a fun experience for all 6 of us

I feel that this was a great experience not only for us but also for so many children we saw taking this adventure ride. It was so great to see so many families taking in this wonder of gods creation.

The aerocar provides you with a beautiful view of the rapids and of the huge cliffs of the escarpment on both the u.s. and Canadian sides. The ride itself was less than 10 minutes in length, kind of pricey for a very short ride. Also...More

Whirlpool Car

The Whirlpool car is one of those things you see and have to do. It's a nice ride accross the whirlpool and a good angle to take pictures of the river valley. Not a must do but fun
