Have you every wondered what it would be like to walk on water? Well you can come close by floating over the top - actually you can ride a cable car through the air above the raging Niagara River if you take a trip on the Whirlpool Aero Car.

You will be given the chance to see the amazing Niagara Whirlpool and rapids from directly above it. It is a wondrous feeling of intrigue and excitement.

Your breathtaking ride will last approximately 10 minutes for the round trip and allows a capacity of 35 people who will be required to stand for the duration. It is a seasonal attraction and will only be able to run in agreeable weather.

The Aero car is an antique cable car. The cable car ride was built in 1913 and it opened in Aug. 1916. It has been upgraded throughout the years to maintain its function and improve its design.

It is also a stimulating place to visit even if you don’t take the ride across. You can still experience the wonder of the whirlpool by watching from the side.

This ride is wonderful attraction you can do alone or with your whole family, but those who may be afraid of heights may need to sit this one out. Having done it personally, it is a great trip that I would intend to take again on my next visit. It is extremely beautiful.
