Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The scenery is beautiful, but that’s about it. There are no signs or educational displays that I saw. Worth a stop for a photo on your way to somewhere else.

While visiting some Canadian friends with some of my friends from home in the Niagara Falls area, our hosts looked into getting a ride on the Whirlpool Aero Car that goes over the Niagara Whirlpool.
Meanwhile, we went to the overlook to see the Whirlpool Aero Car in motion as it crossed the Niagara River above the Niagara Whirlpool. One can a really good view of the whirlpool there.
The Niagara Whirlpool was formed naturally. It is 125 feet deep. The water there is very turbulent. The power of the Niagara River is very evident there.
The whirlpool can also be seen from the New York side on the river at Whirlpool State Park and from the nearby Niagara Glen Nature Reserve in Ontario. There is also a powerboat tour that goes near it.
Seeing the Niagara Whirlpool from the overlook at the Whirlpool Aero Car's parking lot is free,
We rate the Niagara Whirlpool at 4.50.

The viewing of the Niagra Whirlpool was awesome as you get a chance to see the water rapids below the cliff, I only wish we've gotten a chance to ride the aero car as it wasn't open as yet when our group visited on our way to the Falls.

I went on a Niagara Falls bus tour and didn’t know about the Whirlpool until we stopped there. Beautiful site to see, worth the stop.

The whirlpool is a few miles down stream from the falls. It is where the river circulates around a bend causing a whirlpool. You can ride a cable car across the river and pre-covid times you could walk along the banks. Not a patch on the falls but if in the area worth visiting to watch the power of the river.

I was here before and the whirlpool was very evident and concerning when going over it . This time there were rapids, but no whirlpool was visible. The rapids were very impressive especially when the jet boat tours came up the river. The whole area is an awesome sight!!! Check this place out for sure. Great observation sight behind the gift shop.

This is a beautiful place but not much around it. It more like an overlook with a tram you can take across. There is also a small gift shop. It is worth the stop if you are going that direction, not sure I would go out of my way for it however.
