Reviews of White Water Walk (Park)

Randy Marion

Beautiful. Exhilarating. Raw, powerful water, deep down in the escarpment.

Antony Bellerive-Cossette

The walk itself is short but the view is incredible. Must see!

CHRIS BALL

Amazing experience! Prepare to be blown away by the sheer power of the water at the white water walk! The walk itself is not very long but it makes up with the wonder of the green water rushing through this narrow passage of the Niagara River which boasts to have the highest standing waves in North America! An elevator will bring you from the gift shop down to the tunnel that leads to the walk! From the walk there are still more stairs leading to a platform even closer to the raging waves! Along all the other sight seeing places in Niagara this is a MUST SEE! Don’t miss it when you’re visiting!

An elevator takes you down to walkways and viewing viewing platforms along the Niagara River’s Class 6 whitewater rapids. Amazing to see where tightrope walkers, swimmers and other daredevils have challenged the river. Many times the river took their lives. Self-Guided, good signage. Park in lot across street, included in admission. If you have Niagara Parks Parking pass, that also is veiled. Admission is included in both Niagara Falls Adventure Pass and Niagara Falls Pass or can be purchased separately.

Great little outing, appeared to be wheelchair and stroller accessible. Its fairly quick, taking our time and stopping for lots of pictures we were done in under an hour - feels a bit expensive given this (hence my 4 star rating). Because of higher water levels 2 of the lower observation decks were closed today - a bit of a bummer. But you can't beat the views!

Guillaume Bolduc

Very impressive rapids, worth the experience even if it's a bit pricey for an elevator ride

Alex Nielsen

Pretty expensive for a short walk beside the rapids. Other than the price, the view isn’t bad. The rapids are grand and majestic and the path is easygoing.

Kathy Micallef

We go to the Falls all the time and this was an excursion we had never been on! We absolutely loved it. Very powerful being so close to the rapids. Nice easy boardwalk, very clean, lots of interesting signage along the way. Would definately recommend this!!

It needs a ticket to walk on this little White Water Walk. It is maintained well by Niagara Parks. Great Rapids and the Sound of water will wash your mind. Its fun short walk but its worth it. Tip: Niagara Park offers a Combo Pass which includes this walk so if you’re doing 4 activities its worth to get a Pass. 67 $ + Tax ( free WEGO bus ride throughout destinations for 48 hours )

Long Le

Amazing close up view where you can see river and waves in front of you. Short distance walk, approx 300 meters. You can buy tickets online in advance to avoid the line up on site. I believe you dont have to pay for parking if you are a patron ( double check ). Even in summer, it is slippery and wet so wear accordingly. Strongly recommended not to go when it rains as it could ruin the experiences

Hugo Lopez

Unbelievable! Totally different angle of the falls river. Good angle to see the power of that current. It's not a long walk, but definitely something you'll enjoy if you have the patience to appreciate it. There's toilettes at the parking lot. Parking is free if you purchase the tickets there and ask for a voucher, then you drop the voucher on your car's dashboard. I wouldn't miss it if I go back.

…In this attraction, you will see closely the rushing water of Niagara River…there’s a walking platform or bridge where facts and history are written for quiet a learning experience…Amazing!!!

Vivek Sharma

A awesome place to visit they take u 230 feet down in 30 sec. Advice: book ur tickets in advance. Lady on the counter seems little rude.

Syed Ahmed

Must visit, one of the best attraction in Niagara Falls Canada. 23 story down via high speed elevator ride and walk through the tunnel will take you to the breathtaking scenery of Niagara river. Great hiking, well secure walk along the river. Open till November 3rd. Highly recommended, enjoy some of my Collection.

Azi JA

Great place to walk right alongside the water and really see and feel the power of the falls. You take an elevator down and walk a relatively short tunnel to get to the riverside boardwalk. Tickets are $16 for adults and $10 for kids (6-12 yrs). Alternatively, if you have an adventure pass, they are included in your multi attraction pass. Visit the Niagara Parks site for more info, if you plan a visit. Definitely a very col experience!

Jill McCrie

This is such an unexpectedly amazing sight and a must on the to do list! I’m sure it’s a pain during high season with a long wait but we had a great time and got right in in September! The tickets are only $17/adult and they offer free parking, which is amazing for Niagara! There’s an elevator that takes you down to a tunnel that takes you out to a platform and boardwalk along the water’s edge for amazing views of CRAZY rapids and high waves! Truly an amazing sight and there are lots of great views all along the way with informative plaques as well as some lookout areas with steps down to the water level for an even closer look at the impressive power of these rapids! Definitely check them out, best to do it early or off season to spend as long as you’d like with fewer people!

Stephanie Dion

Lovely walk by the whirlpool rapids which are class 6 rapids (the most dangerous type of rapids). The boardwalk is lovely and informative.

E Choo

Gorgeous place to short walk. Easy to access. All level to walk. Board covered. Recommended. Admin fee cad$17. Pay Parking nearby.

Sandy T

Loved it. An amazing short walk. The only downside was the fact that some do not respect social distance and covid. We enjoyed this very much. Make sure you read all the info along the way! Strongly recommend

Anastasia

A beautiful and easy walk to do over an hour or two. A tad expensive but super pretty and highly recommend. The rapids are amazing to see and lots of boards explaining the rivers history

Faraz Shoukat

It's a really relaxing experience. Worth a visit. I recommend going in the morning or early afternoon. Also, if you're going in rainy season, the boardwalk can be slippery so take special care if going with little ones or seniors. If you're purchasing tickets online, you get free parking right next to White Water Walk so don't worry about parking. They don't mention that so keep that in mind.

Lulu Huang

Never seen rapids like this before. Breathtaking! Interesting stories about stunt performers at the start of the path as well.

Farrukh Salim Khan

First times visited this amazing place. And observed the power of the nature. It's have some of the strongest Rapids in the world. First an elevator took us down then passed through a tunnel. (seemed a tunnel from WWII era????) As came out from the tunnel, we found ourselves in beautiful Niagara Gorge, blue green water, crashing waves, roaring sound of river. A boardwalk beside the river, there are several viewing platforms and lot of informations displayed for visitors.

Dannica Franco

This is part of our Niagara Fall Classic Pass but it's normally $17 per person to get in this attraction. We were greeted by staff joyfully, so that was nice and then we were directed to an elevator that leads lower to the water. This is a very nice self-guided walk and to see how fast and high the water goes here. There are some great photo spots and bench to just enjoy the water flowing. Overall, the park wasn't busy and lots of space to move, the walkthrough is also nice and sturdy. A MUST to see during your visit. Best to go here using the bus as there is no parking lots around

Paul Li

I always want to see the rapids up close and be safe. I must have passed by this place hundreds time. Now I know about it, I had to go. "White Water Walk" is the place where you can immerse yourself into it. We went down the elevator; 70m …

Mariana Rocha

Beautiful place!! Amazing view of the power of the nature. I felt very impressed with the rapids and the color of the water. Amazing to know more about local history as well. Calm and resending adventure.

rhon de guzman

- INSTA and FB friendly place - The whole experience was amazing! The fee was worth it, make sure to pay attention to the parking sign, IT'S FREE when you are going to get the White Water Walk Ticket. Short but sweet????

Andrew Lowes

Excellent walk along the Niagara river and very enjoyable. Good spot for kids and families to enjoy sights and sounds of Niagara a little bit down from the packed tourist areas.

Family Room

Cool experience... Those rapids are aggressive!! FUN FACT: waves in some parts of the rapids can be as high as 6 meters. Takes about 30 minutes to do the walk. It’s not physically demanding (at all) and accessible for all (thanks to a well maintained boardwalk). Also parking on the street is free - simply register your car with security. On that note: the Security guard is very strict about physical distancing - and that was very appreciated ???????? Highly recommend this experience!

While most will rave on about how mighty and strong Niagara Falls itself is, if there was ever a place to witness the raw power of the Niagara River's rapids, this is the place. This attraction is not to be missed. The walkway allows visitors the opportunity to get up close and personal with otherwise dangerous off-the-chart rapids. Standing near the roaring water will literally suck the air out of your lungs. Prepare to be exhilarated, and probably get splashed with water. There are photo opportunities galore. You can walk at your own pace, and go as long (or short) as you/your group prefers. Again, this experience is NOT to be missed. In my experience, there's nothing else like this in the Niagara region or anywhere else! Visited in August 2012

harsha bindu

We purchased a package deal that also included this attraction. This is a very beautiful spot and the most underrated attraction ever. You can catch the beauty of the glorious foam like water. There are a couple of spots where the water actually hits the rocks and flows into the viewing area. It looks fiercely beautiful.

Shaniece Degazon

Great clean trail with cement sidewalks that you can walk right along the class 6 rapids and just zone out. I suggest you pay for the daily parking pass in advance so u can not have to worry about that. Fantastic educating experience.

Philip Weild

This has got to be one of the best Niagara experiences.... It is a great up-close experience of the Niagara white water rapids, that is very truly a one-of-a-kind experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world up-close to some of the world's fastest water rapids. This is a MUST SEE!!! It is one of the best attractions in Niagara Falls, though it's not a Falls attraction but a Class A White Water Rapids attraction. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Erica Morin

Great walk, awesome to view the white water rapids up close

Cathy Miles

One of my favourite Niagara attractions! You can get a real sense for the force of the water as it makes it's way through the Category 5 rapids. It is peaceful in the gorge and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the sites near the falls. This attraction is easily accessible with the people mover bus. If arriving by vehicle, you can park in the lot across the street and pay by meter or obtain a complimentary parking pass from the attraction desk which is valid while you're in the gorge.

Shom T

Its okay. Wooden pathway beside the rapids is about 30 mins roundtrip including stops at several location to take photo and enjoy the view. 17$ fee per adult, 2.5$ parking for 60 mins. Path is flat 250-300m max, several spot with stairs to get close to rapid. Line up for elevator to get down is long. Temple Namo Amitabha is closed which was my main interest to go there.

Lakhwinder Singh

walk is awesome, but money is an issue here. these kind of things should be free for everyone and the other complaint I have is that its too short. I would have loved it if I could walk around for a longer stretch.

Girish Borkar

It is a well maintained walkway, very beautiful and gives an amazing view of the rapids with information plaques giving a variety of information for the tourists. The sound of the river flowing, the thunder as it makes its way over the rocks is fascinating and unforgettable. It is a must visit for tourists. We were lucky to have warm and sunny weather during our walk as later in the afternoon it started raining.

Marta Shevchuk

That’s even better than Journey behind the falls ????

Jay R

This has to be the biggest hidden Jem in Niagara. This was the best money we spent. There is so much history associated with this attraction. But also a great way to view the water up close and personal. We were able to meet with a.staff member who had been there since the 80s he was so knowledgable and friendly he had alot of stories to share with alot of history of the American side and Canadian side! Will def return in the spring!!!

Abiodun Fagbuaro

Picked up the Adventure Pass at the Welcome Centre. This pass gets you into the White Water Walk, Niagara's Fury, behind the Falls and a 2 day bus pass on the WeGo bus. It's a straight forward site, you walk down the damp cool tunnels to get to the bridge that runs parallel to the water. It's a relaxing walk with a few stops to get closer to the water and get some nice shots. Nothing spectacular but relaxing and worth checking off your list. I'd recommend you save this site as one of your last stops as there are more interesting activities like the boat cruise that takes you right to the base of the falls.

Mark L

Awesome spot to check out the amazing Niagara rapids! This is a quarter mile boardwalk along side a class 6 rapids, it's a beautiful and amazing sight to see the color and power of the rapids. It's definitely a spot to see while visiting Niagara. The only caution is to note the wait to descend the elevator to reach the boardwalk as well as the line to take the elevator back up once you are done, so be prepared for the extra time necessary. Also, there is a free parking lot across the street from the entrance with paid admission to the rapids, so don't pay for street parking!

Scott Lynch

One of our favorites! Great view like no other. So worth getting the 2 day visit package.

Kyle Kiss

Such a beautiful place and experience - totally worth the trip! However, the trail is quite short and I do find it a bit expensive to pay $17/person. If you're planning on making a day of it - I would recommend looking into purchasing …

Vincent

It is a nice place, easy to park your car and it’s free, just ask them to get the park ticket. beautiful place.

Ken C

Great experience, you get to wander a long boardwalk at your own pace, right up against the thunderous power of the rapids. Seeing it in person is very different than watching a video: you appreciate the magnitude of the power. Some of the lower deck enclosures were off limits when we went which was a bit sad, but hopefully they open up again soon. Very Instagram worthy photos and videos to be had here. Great little placard signs along the way give interesting historical and geological information. One quibble: the angled parking on-site makes backing out blindly into a live lane of north-bound traffic kind of scary, and those drivers are not going the speed limit. Nice gift shop on-site.

vidyut banerjee

What an amazing, unmissable activity. Please do not skip this if you take the Niagara Pass. The walk next to the foaming rushing majestic river in the gorge will make your day. Start early ( 10 to 11 am) for a non busy experience

Jeff Roos

The views are great, we'll maintained boardwalk. I wish it was a bit longer, otherwise, good fun out in nature.

Linda N

Relaxing walk close with a sturdy wooden walkway and steep foliage on one side and the waters on the other! You can really see and hear the rapids up close with occaisional viewing platforms closer to the water edge and interesting little facts on signs sprinkled throughout

Divya Patel

You can purchase tickets online or from the counter. They give you parking pass for the time you are there. So don’t make the mistake we did. And go directly here. This is a little far from the original niagra falls!! The walk is wonderful and the water was mesmerizing!! I really enjoyed being there. You can finish this within one hour. You can also get a day pass which includes journey behind the falls and many more things.
