Niagara Falls Skywheel
The Niagara SkyWheel is a 175 feet (53 m) tall Ferris wheel
located in the middle of Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It has 42
gondolas, which are heated in the winter and air conditioned in the warmer
months, each able to hold six passengers. The ride is approximately ten minutes
long, giving the passengers views of the Niagara River, and both the Horseshoe
and American Falls, and is open all year.
The Sky Wheel is Niagara Falls own version of the Millennium Wheel. At 53 meters
tall each ride on the Sky Wheel lasts 10 exciting minutes. The 42 gondolas
slowly rise to the top and the view provided on a clear day is absolutely
magnificent. The view of the Falls on a clear day is breathtaking from the top
of the Wheel.
A camera is a must to bring on the ride. At the very top, both the Horseshoe and
American Falls are seen in their majestic splendor. On a clear day, one can see
the Niagara parks and surrounding landmarks for miles.
The ride is best taken in the evening to capture the glitter of the Niagara
Skyline and the illumination of the Falls. The wheel turns surprisingly slowly-
it takes about 10 minutes to go round, so one has plenty of time take photos to
scenic landmarks.
All Gondolas are fully equipped to provide either heat or air conditioning. The
Sky Wheel does offer access for the handicapped
The Sky Wheel is located on Clifton Hill. the entrance is $ 9.99 for adults and
$ 5.99 for children.
