Niagara SkyWheel

Standing at the heart of Clifton Hill, the Niagara SkyWheel lifts riders well above the street in fully enclosed gondolas, offering elevated views over the falls, the Niagara River and the neon-lit attractions below. Because the cabins are climate controlled, the wheel runs year-round and in all weather, making it a gentle, all-ages way to get an overhead perspective on the tourist district. Its position among the arcades, restaurants and attractions of Clifton Hill makes it a natural anchor for a family visit to the area.
