Reviews of Niagara SkyWheel (Museum)

RP (RP)

This is by far the best aspect of going to Niagara. If you’ve never been on here it’s quite an experience. Going all the way and feeling like your in the clouds. You get a chance to see the falls, the Niagara strip, and a city view. The wheel gives you around 3-4 cycles (10-15min) of ride time. Worth every penny!

Was a fun, if slightly terrifying, ride. I didn't think I was afraid of heights until I rode the Skywheel. We still had a great time, the tickets seem reasonably priced and the line moved faster than I expected. I think we went around 3 full times, so there's lots of time to look around and take pictures if you're into it. I tried taking pictures to distract myself. I appreciated that they only let households or groups together in the pods considering COVID protocols.

Lively and lit place. I loved the funnel cake around the corner. The lights are beautiful around. Skywheel is a good place to have a look at the niagra falls. I totally adore the ambience and it looks like a play area, good for adults as well as kids.

Worth trying in Clear weather ???? ???? not in rain or snow cause it'll block the view of outside. Still i enjoyed it a lot.

I've done this several times both in the day and evening. The wheel at night is best for a romantic experience. The day is better if you want to take in the sites. I would say limit your expectations though it's simply a ferris wheel. If all you want is a good view the more cost effective option would be to go to one of the many restaurants with a view of the falls which are higher than the wheel. That being said there is something fun about it that's not captured in the restaurant experience.

Nice view, but the windows were foggy, cannot take clear pictures

Colin Dickie

Great view of the falls. Very clean. Very relaxing. I highly recommend this. I will be back.

We loved the sky wheel! It’s now $7 for kids & $14 for adults or usually cheaper via the fun pass but with covid that’s no longer available. The views are amazing! If you’re scared of heights lol just enjoy the ground-view but it’s a really fun experience for those who are up to it!

Spectacular experience and view!!! Reasonable pricing…Here are some pics from day and night time.

Alen Tomy

A good experience to be on the skywheel. You would be able to see the lighted falls from the top. Long queue during peak but worth trying it once.

Tania Bakshi

Staff was nice and well organized. The loading and unloading was quick. They cleaned the box after each person left. The view is amazing at night! The falls and Clifton Hills looks spectacular!

Justin Shaw

Nice relaxing ride with AMAZING views. Ride does 3 full revolutions. You can clearly see both the Horshoe and American falls. Niagara skyline and Clifton Hills. It can be on the pricey side but it's worth it. Especially at night, when the falls are lit up, a long with the skyline. The skywhell itself is fully illuminated, and has it's own wild light show.

Great ferris wheel with beautiful view of US And Canadian Niagara falls. Also provides great view of the Clifton hill area! They have stroller parking available at the bottom of the ferris wheel, which is so helpful and greatly appreciated. Friendly staff and very affordable ticket prices…definitely recommended!

A unique experience of height. It run very slow but you enjoy it, specially when you are reaching to the top. A must do thing in Niagara. Don't think what's your age and how sober you are.

Great views of both sides of Niagara Falls (US & CAN) all around. The air conditioning and tinted plexiglass windows are an A+, because it makes the ride more comfortable during hot Summer days.

Saurabha Deshpande

Decent experience, this gives the view to the Niagara falls from US and Canada side and runs for around 8 min. It was not too crowded on Wednesday night. This is an experience but nothing really fascinating tbh. I am views are good but not good pic taking points and the glass reflects so hard to take pic. Great attraction for kids and they will definitely love it with all the lights.

Agha Faraz Khan

Was an awesome experience. The ride is smooth and pleasing. The staff is nice and friendly. Although they've stopped selling the fun pass which used to include mutiple rides/ games. However, I'm so glad things opened up after COVID. Would highly recommend this place.

Chimbu Kumar

Worth visiting in Niagara. You can get a complete view of the city and falls. It goes on for couple of rounds for you to see the entire falls from top view! Definitely worth the money.

Webster Mwenye

Best way to view for viewing the area. The ride is approximately 8 minutes and goes around about 3 times. Very affordable as well.

Wonderful experience we had with sky wheels in niagara city. The terrible view of Niagara city and falls view is amazing. It is so thrilled to look down from the top, but the safety is well measured. We were inside a glass room as usual how we are sitting in normal room. They took us 3 full rounds in the wheel which costs 14$ for adults and 7 $ for kids.

Chihiro S

It was fun and I had great time :) we had 4 round, so good enough time to take pictures/videoes and enjoy the view!

Andrew Lowes

Great attraction in Niagara Falls Clifton Hill area. Should really have holy @@@@ handles for those of us taking loved ones on the pods but not being a fan of heights. That aside- super friendly staff and really well maintained attraction.

Neelakshi Gupta

My second time at/on the Niagara Skywheel and it gets better every time! You do get the best view of the Niagara Falls from up the Skywheel! Though my pictures' quality is not up to mark. I need a better phone and a better camera! Lol. Looking forward to being back yet again!

Vijay Thakar

It was not excellent experience with skywheel, as it takes around $15 And you'll get 3 rounds in those three rounds first one is the slowest one, and remaining are little faster. Glasses aren't clean to you cannot take good photos at night, but it has good view from top like you can see both falls and near by area from top.

Vanessa C

A great way to get a view of Niagara Falls! This was my first time on the SkyWheel. It was $23 for me and my daughter to ride. The wheel went around 5 or 6 times so I felt it was worth the price. It's big too and high. I was a little freaked out the first time around ???? at how high it was but there was no rocking or anything and it was comfortable in the sky pod. Everyone wore their masks inside and it was well ventilated. They cleaned the pod as soon as we got off too. The line was fast, maybe a 2 minute wait to get on. We really enjoyed this as part of our stay in Niagara.

William J Bertin

Great Experience, Especially If It's Your First Time. Lots Of Room In The Cabs. They Have Information Audio Playing And They're Air Conditioned. Awesome Falls View. Especially At Night. Price Was Fair As Well.

Kira Uchiha

If you want to get a nice view of Niagara Falls and the surrounding area then this is the place! I don't do well with heights but I still wanted to try this ferries wheel. It was $12 per person in August 2020. You get around 4-5 rounds and can see the entire amusement area and Niagara Falls.

Joe Benforte

Really takes you high, has a short informational audio recording that is nice but too short. Takes you around about 3-4 times with some pauses for pictures. Gives a nice view of the area, would recommend it first to get a look around.

Mo

Very affordable experience to enjoy for you and your family. The wheel goes so high up that you can see the gorgeous Niagara falls. You can also see the karting track,hotels, dinosaur themed golf course and many more beautiful places to see from up high. The cabin itself is nicely equipped with air conditioning, a emergency call button in case something happens and most importantly you feel very safe thanks to the sliding doors that can be only opened by outside. I loved the view and I would recommend it to you! (Photos taken from skywheel)

Went with a family. Waiting in line can feel like forever but once you get into the cart and your ride begins you understand why it takes so long. Honestly the view is worth it you can see everything from the top great for pictures but after the second lap around it gets boring. The trip is unnecessary long because you just keep seeing the same view so max 3 laps is enough. Ticket prices are worth it though.

Julian Mendez

Completely recommended if it’s your first time in Niagara. It gives you a great idea of what this city has to offer. The view is amazing and makes the trip worth it. Ride isn’t expensive either. $14 for 10 min approx isn’t too bad for the experience lived.

Niagara Falls has a lot of fun things to do, of course aside from getting mesmerized by the beauty of this world wonder. The Skywheel is one of the many great things to do here. I have been to Niagara Falls three times since I arrived in the Country (Toronto-based) last July 2021 and it is my first time to try this exciting experience. I went here with my long time friend who came all the way from Indiana. We bought the tickets at the street-side booth and walked a few steps to the skywheel. We waited in line as there are a lot who are also interested in getting that best-view experience. Our tickets were scanned and we were sent to our sanitized gondola that is also climate-controlled. The view started with the dinosaurs at the adventure park right next to the observation wheel. Then, the breathtaking panoramic view of the Falls (American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and that of Horseshoe Falls). We had to change positions so that we would be able to enjoy the different views from above. You can also see the river atop the falls and the US side of it. Apart from that, you can see the other attractions in the area and the surrounding parks. It was an amazing experience that lasted for about three complete turns. Make sure you have your cameras ready for some photos and video capturing. And most importantly, take the time to be amazed and refreshed by the view from one of Canada's largest observation wheels. Being a blogger, I have visited some observation wheels in Asia but this Skywheel is one for the books. You will definitely enjoy the scenery of nature and man-made. The bustling city-life that there is for Clifton Hill and the green, eye-rejuvenating parks and the waters that nourishes the soul are just some that makes this attraction worth trying.

We enjoyed the SkyWheel so much that my child requested a second ride on day 2 of our stay! Staff was very nice, lines moved quickly, and we got about 5 rounds each time which was amazing as it gave us enough time to really check out the surroundings. I'm usually afraid of heights but I felt completely safe on the wheel. Will definitely do this again when we visit the next time!

Blair B

Enjoyed the Skywheel, great way to see the sights from above

Mohi

A great way to get a view of Niagara Falls! This was my first time on the SkyWheel. It was $14 for an adult.

Rhys Thorpe

For you and your family, this is a very affordable experience. The wheel rises to such a height that you can glimpse the magnificent Niagara Falls. The ride lasts around 8 minutes and goes around three times. This was very incredible. It was a lot of fun. It is suitable for people of all ages. There are a lot of positive sentiments. The best area for kids to hang out late at night! I strongly advise you to give it a shot.

Campbell Beaton

Worth the money and a nice warm view of the falls in winter.

Amber Rozsa

I couldn't use the pass or coupons which was a let down but it was still really fun the views are amazing and the music was nice it took us around 3 times.

Stanton Brown

Price is amazing, and it allows you to not only see a very good view of the falls, however lets you see how amazing Clifton Hill is. You can see a mini-golf course and a go-kart track, along with many other attractions in Niagra Falls, including a better view of the US side of it. Definitely worth it, the time you are allowed on is pretty good, and gives you an incredible view of Niagra Falls from above.

Great views. Very crowded but was expected on labor day long weekend Monday. We called ahead of time and lady on phone was very friendly, advised us to come and buy ticket in person and even guided us to park car. Was very helpful. Lady at kiosk was very rude and prejudice, we bought ticket in front kiosk and asked her politely to let us know if she knows how long is wait time, or where to head to after buying ticket, she mumbled something under her breath and pointed her thumbs to back. My wife confronted her that its not very polite and as we are coming first time we were inquiring. Thanks to her we waited in line infront of ferris wheel ticket window for another 30 minutes before we realized that once we have tickets we can head to line on side. May be we didn't not see signs properly but thats why they have associates to answer questions specially at ticket window. Thank you for wasting our time. May be she was having bad day but definitely something to look into. Skywheel gives amazing views of Niagara falls, town, rainbow Bridge and both falls. Cleaned after each ride,
