Watching the river churn and chomp gives you a great idea of its power. You can see the white foam and hear the incredible rush of the water. At the end of the walk, there's a nice viewing area. Worth taking the time out to visit this attraction.

I enjoyed walking alongside the rapids, but also being on a safe boardwalk. Watching some crazy teens trying to descend into the gorge on the other side of the river made me a little nervous for their safety (took a little bit away from my experience)

This is about as close as you can get to seeing rapids unless you were in a boat. It is a beautiful area to take pictures and you can stay as long as you want. It was a warm day when we went, so the coolness of the air near the water was a welcome relief. This attraction is also... More

Located right on the Niagara Falls Tourist Transit "WEGO" bus line, this is an absolute MUST for seeing all the water that went over Niagara Falls in one spot. Once you go down the elevator and walk through the tunnel, you emerge at the other end face to face with Class 6 rapids, the most dangerous in the world. A... More

My wife and I enjoyed the White Water Walk as part of our Adventure passes. My 4 yr old daughter was also along - she enjoyed it less. But we are figuring out that she is a coward (was also afraid of birds and butterflies on this trip). I think most young children would enjoy this. It's no where near... More

This was so nice I was surprised more people weren't there. It's beautiful, a short walk , so don't let that scare you away. The water, bridge, are excellent photo places.

This is a must to-do! Take the elevator down to the 'board-walk' and enjoy the rapids up close and personal. Even the rain didn't deter us from enjoying the scenery and fury of the rapids!

Took the we-go but out to this location. It is a short easy walkway along the Niagara river rapids below the falls ( not directly below) .

The rapids are quite unique in the fact they are class 6 but there is very little to this with a small shop and the guy in the lift giving you the history in the time it takes to drop 150ft. Still rapids are worth seeing but can be done in 10mins. Recommended to visit on a sunny warm day.

We visited this attraction as part of our Adventure Pass ticket package and is well worth going even if you pay locally. You can walk there from the central Niagara Falls area but I wouldn't advise it as it would take you over an hour and the pavements aren't that great. Instead, I would recomment the bus service which frequently... More
