Very fun experience to fly over the river. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to look at the whirlpool from such angle. I enjoyed the feel of being detached from civilization during the ride. The mystical vibe of nature around you. It was a worthwhile experience.

We only did Maid of the Mist and the Aerocar when we were at the falls, and the Aerocar was just ok for me. I waver between 2 and 3 stars. When we went to buy tickets, the lady said she wasn't selling because it was windy and she wanted to wait to see what the operator thought about continuing. Ok, fine. We hung out and watched the rapids below. I went and stood by the ticket window to wait to see if there was going to be another ride or not. I waited and waited, and finally went to ask her. She said we were good to go. I was a little peeved because she was sitting there staring out and saw me sitting there, so why didn't she call me over when she found out that it was going to be ok? She wasn't working - she was just sitting there - so it would've been easy.
We were lucky enough to be on a car with only 1 other couple, so we were allowed to move around and see from different angles. Honestly, the viewing deck here gets you pretty much the same view. The operator didn't even tell us anything about the history of the whirlpool below, how it was formed, etc. I was disappointed at this and asked him, and he told me. Paying over $10 for this experience, I expect to get some kind of narration. In any case, I wouldn't pay for it if I were you - being suspended is cool but it's short and you can get a good view and photo of the whirlpool from the observation deck. -

The only problem I had was that they would not let me bring my wife's barrel on the Aerocar...just kidding. Great view and open air experience as you ride the cable car over the river!

Fun. Felt very safe on the 95-year-old car. The operator rotated the passengers so everyone could view both sides. Like everything else at Niagara Falls, it was a little overpriced.

Worth the 15min trip from to falls, this whirlpool is on steroids, very big and insane but beautiful.
There are boat tours available that go to the tips of the whirlpool, these boats have a couple of thousand horsepower to be stronger and faster then the whirlpool. -

I think we were expecting a little more excitement. The only thing exciting about this is wondering what would happen if the cable broke. I mean the view it kinda nice, but you aren't really that close to the water. And it's fun watching the speed boats, but not really worth standing in the hot sun waiting your turn.
