About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- wemjam0 contributionsNice ride with great views.Great ride for a reasonable price. We really enjoyed the view. I think because it was off season and it wasn't that busy we got to go around a few extra times which was really nice. I would do this again and recommend.Written October 9, 2024
- jrzj420 contributionsPleasant rideA little larger than your typical Ferris Wheel. This one has enclosed capsules that seat 4 adults, has A/C, and provides decent views of Niagara Falls. Lines can be long at times, so I waited for no lines at the ticket office, yet still spent about 20 minutes waiting to get on the ride.Written July 21, 2024
- 193margez0 contributionsTake the Ride !This is a must do while visiting Niagara Falls. The ride is reasonably priced and smooth. Even those afraid of heights can enjoy this ride. The views are amazing.Written May 5, 2024
- sheila2700 contributionsGreat views of the groundsWe paid for this with the Clinton Hills Fun Pass for $35. The ride is great to see the attractions down below.

- helpless10 contributionsGentle changing viewThe Skywheel is part of a similar series of attractions giving great views of the Falls and the surrounding area, it was a longer ride than we expected and did about 8 rotations which gave you plenty of time to enjoy the views and take the obligatory photographs and swap sides to get the best views. An enjoyable part of the Niagara experience.Written June 11, 2023
- rajsviewfinder0 contributionsBeautiful viewAmazing attraction. Few mins walk from Niagara Falls. Amazing location . Lots of restaurants and kids playing areas around . We didn’t have time to go on top to view Niagara . Missed it . Next time for sure . Not that expensive .. about 13$ I guess . We did skyline towers and I though the view is similar to that . Overall a nice spot 👍Written June 6, 2023

- CaptBargain0 contributionsMy Ca. Wheel LOVE story.This is a ride well worth the $$$. BUY a Clifton hill funpass. and SAVE$ I'm a very large 60yo man with bad feet and back. I was visiting with my wife and teen daughter. I've done/visited alot around Ontario over the years. I have always found it to be a very kind and intelligent society. I've tried to teach my daughter that. With that said, we just got in line at the wheel. It is a popular attraction with a que/corral. One of the workers saw me stretching my back and asked if I "was in pain". (It was obviuos to her). She moved us up to the next cars loaded. HOSPITALITY!!!!!!!!! Great view and a good amount of time "up". Buy the fun pass, it's a GREAT DEAL!!!!! (the other included attractions are also good!) THANK YOU lady at the wheel! Thanx Wheel! Thanx Canada!Written October 3, 2022
- Mike R0 contributionsRound and RoundOn Clifton Hill, the SkyWheel is a great enclosed cabin ride. We went up and around five times on one ticket! Spectacular views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls, as well as the whole of the Niagara Falls area. Well worth the price.Written September 27, 2022
- TMack820 contributionsGreat ViewsThe sky wheel offers great views of the falls as well as Clifton Hill. $15/adult $7/child when we were there today. You will go at least 3X around. The gondolas are climate controlled which is a great help.Written September 14, 2022
- Happiness565353823860 contributionsIncredible view! Worth the ticket price!Went on this with my son. No chance my wife was going on it! The view was incredible and absolutely worth the cost of the ticket. And the ride lasted quite a long time! Nice that the cars are covered in case of rain, too. Highly recommend it!Written September 11, 2022

I was a little hesitant at first due to the enormous height of the ferris wheel.
The amount of room in each pod is massive! The adrenalin feeling is amazing. Make sure you film the entire ride lol. Be surprised how all people react.
Once stopped at top to look around it was pretty spectacular. You can see for miles on a clear day.
On a foggy day i have been told that its like being in the clouds.
However i recommend a good clear day and by the family pass!! The sAvings is worth it for clifton hill.
Its probably the easiest ride to find. Parking is rough on the hill, but is across the street - be prepared to pay 20$ for ok parking during tourist season.
Have a blast!!!
Enjoy

Great view (we went at night). The cabin was relatively clean. The person behind the counter said it would be about a 5-10 minute wait in line but it was more like 30. With a busy toddler that can seem like an eternity.

Hi Yipiyak,
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the ride. It's hard to determine the wait time unfortunately due to depending where the ride is on the rotation before you, and in the case the cashier must have misjudged. We certainly hope to have you back again very soon.

We usually don't go for super touristy money grab attractions like the SkyWheel but thought we'd give it a try over the Family Day long weekend.
I thought I'd save a bit of money by purchasing tickets via GroupOn but it actually turned out to be MORE expensive as that was billed in US currency.
It was more of a hassle as I had to ask the hotel to PRINT the GroupOn tickets for us and we had to wait until the next day to use them. They won't accept the GroupOn on the same day of purchase. Just be aware of this if you're only planning to stay one day. Avoid the GroupOn, buy direct if you want to ride the SkyWheel.
The ride itself was pretty quick (10 min) and barely worth the $52 price tag for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). I think money would be better spent at the arcade as you would spend more time there. for your $50. Our kids were not that interested or excited by the ride.
I think we could have done with out. Won't ride it again. Wouldn't recommend it.

This is a great activity to do as a couple or family. The cost was $55 for 3 adults and 1 child (under 12).
The ride takes about 20 minutes and gives you the perfect opportunity to view the entire area including both falls.
The Ferris wheel carts are air conditioned and very stable if you have any concerns about heights.
This is a great attraction located right on Clifton hill in the heart of the tourist area.

We love the ferris wheels and use one everywhere we can. The Niagara Falls one didn't disappoint, providing us with a superb view of the Falls and all around. Prices are so reasonable, the cabins are comfy and heated and we enjoyed this trip as much as we have any other one around the world. Certainly to be recommended.

We had a fun time. Perfect views of the Falls. The enclosed ride made sure the wind was not a factor on this chilly afternoon. The wait in the lineup was brief. We had a few short stops as people got on and off. Then just a few cycles and it's over.
The attendants were pleasant, but I am not sure that a couple of quick sprays of disinfectant into mid-air into the cabin counts as disinfecting anything. He DID SAY that masks must be worn throughout the ride, so I have to congratulate him on that.
Overall, it was a fun time and I did tick off another item from my bucket list. Perfect.

We had time to spare before our coach left so we queued and went on the skywheel - so pleased we did. A great experience and the views of the falls are fabulous. Worth the money and the wait as it is very popular. The cabins are loaded as a group or as couples so you are not sitting with strangers. A great experience.

I’m a little afraid of heights and I’m SO GLAD I went on it.
It’s was incredible seeing the falls and the city from those heights and the unease about being so high-up just added to this experience.
We went on it a second time and was able to enjoy even more of the scenery.
The staff were pleasant.
The pods themselves are temp controlled and clean. You can opt out of the recorded message if you wish.

The day I visited this it was blazing hot, I thought I'd faint in the line, which was between 10-15 min long, but at least the line was under an awning and not in the sun. The cars hold around 6 people each and I was surprised so the line would move faster they didn't fill up each car, but they didn't. If you were solo like me, they put you in your own car, a couple would get their own car. So I was shocked I wasn't put in with others, it wouldn't have bothered me and it would have made the line go a lot faster. The cars are said to be air conditioned, but it was so horribly hot, they didn't feel like it.
Once it began to go around, my ride was four complete rotations, the views of the falls were beautiful. I made sure to face them so I'd see them, but for ones in full cars sat with their back to them, they wouldn't have seen them at all unless they really turned in their seats or stood up. I was glad there were seats, more like a bench on each side of the car, since as I said I was near fainting from the heat.

The booth is at the ticket counter right in front of the attraction. If you walk towards the Skywheel, you will not miss it. The process takes only a couple of minutes.

Is the SkyWheel located in the USA or in Canada? If it’s in Canada, I can’t get there due to the Canadian borders choosing to remain closed. Tsk tsk!
Written June 22, 2021
It’s located in Canada. If you are an American citizen fully vaccinated with your CDC immunization card, you’ll be able to enjoy the Skywheel as early as August 7th.

I'm planning out my itinerary for my family trip ... and this attraction shows up but it's on the Canadian side so before I purchase our tickets, Will my family and I need passport's? Or what's the procedure?
Written February 27, 2020
This is from the Govt. of Canada website.
I am an American citizen. What do I need to enter Canada?
American citizens, including American-Canadian citizens, must carry proper identification and meet the basic requirements to enter Canada. You do not need a Canadian passport, a Canadian visa or an eTA to enter Canada if you are travelling with a valid U.S. passport.
So, yes you will need a valid US passport to enter Canada. Come over, we are very friendly!
