We went to Canada (this time we had our passports!) to the Whirlpool Aero Car. This is a Cable Car Ride over the Niagara River (their website: https://www.niagaraparks.com › visit › attractions › w…) The website said: “Witness spectacular views of the swirling Niagara Whirlpool and the river’s Class 6 rapids as you soar 3,500 feet across the Niagara Gorge.”
What the website didn’t say was the entire ride was about 10 minutes but that is stretching it a bit. We had high hopes but instead we found ourselves at one of the bottom 10 attractions in 61 trips. The photos give you a good idea of what it is but don’t take the trip. The photos tell the entire story and save you from sitting in traffic waiting to get into Canada at the border.
"Just the facts."
The Aero Car docked at the station.
Off it goes.
You get the impression that it is going to the other side.
You are only going half was across.
You stop in the middle.
Then you come back.
Looks nice from here but you will never know.
When it stops the right side moves to the left and vice versa.
"We're walking, we're walking..."
The station is behind us.
A lot of busses bring unsuspecting visitors.
The whirlpool is lower right.
The Niagara River.
If you don't want to ride the car you can take a boat.
