I do not like ferris wheels but I bravely stepped on the Sky Wheel and found it offered a smoother ride than a typical ferris wheel, for which I was grateful. At the top, you are 175 feet in the air. The trip lasts 8 mins and gives you no less than four trips to the top in which you... More

We went at night and the views were alright, all you could really see though were the twinkling lights of the city. It was almost impossible to see the falls with the glare in the glass enclosed pod.

The view is super!. The Wheel has closed cabins, very well-maintained. Can be a little hot Inside if the weather is hot..

This is a great way to get a view from up high if you have no other way to get it. Otherwise, it's just "eh"

Although I am afraid of heights, I knew we couldn't miss this attraction. Very cool! After 9 p.m. the falls are lit up and very beautiful! Such a cool view from above! I was scared, but overall I enjoyed it! I knew it went around 3 times, so I just kept telling myself 2 more...1 more. But then it didn't... More

The SkyWheel is worth it, but probably best bundled in package with minigolf, wax museum, etc. We were surprised at how many trips around we made, but it wasn't too busy when we were there.

If you're travelling to Niagara this is something you need to try at least once. I've done it once during the day at once at night and if you can get on it at night when the falls are lit up it's truly amazing. Each "pod" is enclosed so even in the winter it's warm enough that you can still... More

If you are trying to experience everything Niagara Falls has to offer, then definitely check this out. The views from the SkyWheel give you a completely different perspective of the falls and surrounding area. We went before it got too crowded and waited 15-20 minutes. I'm sure it gets much busier once tourist season starts. Definitely recommend this.

My boyfriend and I are definitely afraid of heights, but we were talked into riding the SkyWheel. It was a little scary the first time around because we kept stopping every two seconds. Once it started going round and round- it was beautiful. We went at night time when the falls were lit up! We would definitely recommend doing this... More

Being there during the off-season definitely has it's advantages! We walked right up and got on the wheel. Still being somewhat cool that evening, we were glad the temperature inside was comfortable. The night view was great and we even had a coupon for the ride.
