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.

I strongly suggest you take the fun pass when you go to clifton hills, for $35 plus taxes you have 6 activities including the sky wheel.
Amazing view of the falls, try to be on the wheel for 10pm if you're lucky, because you get to watch the fireworks from in it, it's awesome.
2-3 non stop turns, then couple of stops at different heights to let ppl in and out.
All in all 8-10min ride , worth it with the pass, if not you will pay $18 plus taxes just for the wheel.
AC inside with music, it was clean and they disinfect with sprays between guests, thumbs up!!
Hope this was helpful

Hi studpuppy!

We hope to see you again!

For a high and tall point of view of Niagara Falls Canada you should try this attraction. For $14 an adult the wheel takes you around in a cab about 5 times and pauses at the top for about 3 minutes each time. This will give you many opportunities to take some photos to remember your visit to NF.

If you want to see Niagara Falls in 10-12 minutes, then this is the attraction.
Temperature controlled pods allow you to see all the beauty of Niagara. There is an audio portion you can listen to while in the pod. We felt very safe and secure at all times.
We noticed staff cleaning the touch points in the pod after each guest left and prior to a new guest entering.
Very good customer service. Grace at the ticket counter was very pleasant, polite and personable. Made small talk while processing our tickets. The gentlemen assisting guests on and off the attraction were pleasant, even waving to my son a couple of times as we passed them at the base every time.
I would recommend this attraction at least one time when you visit Niagara.

We visited during Covid restrictions. They did a great job with spacing and sanitizing. The lineup was minimal which was a bonus for sure especially waiting with a 5 year old.
The view was great from way up top. It was 34C that day so having air conditioning in your car was excellent.
We noticed that people were never placed in a car that was just occupied. They were cleaning the cars in between visitors.

We used our Clifton Hills pass to get a ride on this wheel. It was a bitter cold evening but the view up there was better than expected and the ride itself lasted a lot longer than we thought it would. It was freezing in the little cabin and I don't think any heating was on so dress well. A beautiful evening well spent.

On Clifton Hill, the SkyWheel is a great enclosed cabin ride. We went up and around five times on one ticket! Spectacular views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls, as well as the whole of the Niagara Falls area. Well worth the price.

Went round 3 times one evening and it was a nice view however struggled with photos due to the lights from the cabin. Would probably recommend this in the day if your wanting to capture photos. Would only do this as part of the pass.

Hi jamie-leed90m

The SkyWheel does provide some good Falls Views. However, it also provides some views to other unremarkable areas in the Niagara town. It would be better if it was located elsewhere in a park, see something else other than 2nd class buildings.

We went on the ride during the daytime so we could look around the whole area and find places to walk.
The pictures of the Falls are great.
We were surprised at how long they left us on the ride. It was well worth the money.
You won’t regret doing this ride.

Staff is nice. Gondola's themselves are solid. Went around 3 times. If you've done everything you want to do and time left / have extra money in your budget, go for it. Otherwise, I recommend prioritizing something else.

Can you tell me the duration in minutes for one full rotation without stops
Written 31 May 2022
The whole ride is 8-12 minutes with loading and unloading. So roughly 3 minutes per full rotation. You get 3 revolutions total.
