The boardwalk leads to two observation areas at the edge of the river. The white water walk costs $8.50 for adults and $5.00 for children. Times vary depending on the season, but in the summer The White Water Walk in open from 9am until 8pm. A ride on the Whirlpool Aero Car is not for someone who is afraid of heights. If heights don’t bother you though, this ride is well worth the price of admission. It doesn’t last very long, but the view you get while riding 250 feet above the waters is truly spectacular. It is quite thrilling being dangled high above the swirling and crashing whirlpool rapids! The car holds 35 people at a time, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. The ride was originally opened in 1916, although it has had several updates since then! Prices are $11 for an adult and $6.50 for children. Hours during the summer usually run from 9am until 8pm.

Clifton Hill aka “The Street of Fun” Clifton Hill is the place in Niagara Falls that gives most people the impression that it is tacky. And maybe it is. But if you know that going in, if you know that it is all meant for fun and for stimuli, and mostly for children, then you won’t be disappointed. When you think of the falls, you think of this wonderful piece of nature, and Clifton Hill doesn’t seem to fit in properly with that. But yet, at the same time, it does fit. There is a noticeable shift when you get to the bottom of Clifton Hill and you get closer to the falls. It gets quieter, more peaceful. Clifton Hill is far enough away from the actual falls to not encroach on its beauty. That being said, Clifton Hill is an awfully fun place to walk around. There are tons of things to do, and even if you don’t want to pay for any of the attractions, it is a great place to just people watch. Clifton Hill is filled with rides and games, lots of souvenir shops, tacky museums, fun houses, haunted houses, mazes, restaurants, you name it, it is probably there. You would probably go broke if you tried to do everything that is on Clifton Hill, and what you chose to do is just a matter of personal preference, but here are some recommendations if the whole thing just seems to overwhelming.
Niagara Skywheel: it is pricey, but it does provide a spectacular view of the Falls and surrounding area, that you can’t really get anywhere else. The skywheel is 53 metres tall. The ride lasts approximately 10 minutes, and the booths are temperature controlled. The price for adults if $9.99 and the price for children is $5.99 (plus taxes). The ride is wheelchair accessible.
Bird Kingdom at the Niagara Falls Aviary is a relatively new addition to the list of attractions in the falls. The aviary consists of 50, 000 square feet of indoor aviary with over 500 free flying birds. This is a great place to take the family and learn a little something about many different kinds of birds. There is even an area where you are able to feed the birds. The bird aviary is in a tropical atmosphere, so it would be best to wear lighter clothing to avoid getting overheated! You can learn more about the aviary by visiting www.birdkingdom.com Niagara Fury is the newest, multi million dollar attraction in Niagara Falls. This ride takes visitors on a multi sensory ride through the creation of Niagara Falls. Snow, hail, floods, torrential rains, thunder, lightening…it all happens on Niagara Fury. Experience all of these forces of nature while being surrounded by a 3D screen which will provide you with views of the falls that most people have never seen before. The previous is what has been said about this new ride, but if you believe all that, you’ll likely be disappointed with the actual ride. What they are charging for the ride is slightly ridiculous, given what the ride actually encompasses. This ride is appropriate from small children, but honestly, there are much better attractions out there that give you a little more value and fun for your money.
