Niagara Freefall
& Interactive Centre
The main attraction at the place
is freefall in a vertical tunnel in which strong air
currents lift you in the air. The participants wear
special clothes that puff up when hit with the air
currents coming from the ground. At first you go through
training and explanations which take 25 minutes, then
you start flying. A fun experience for the whole family.
The Interactive centre has more attractions for people
who enjoy action: Riding a mechanical bull, laser tag, a
climbing wall, a simulator, and a video game arcade.
