The Niagara Falls are two enormous waterfalls in the
Niagara River, which straddles the border between the
state of New York in the US and Ontario in Canada.
The American falls are on the American side of the
border, and they make up only 10% of all the water in
the Niagara Falls. They are 55 metres high and 330
metres wide. To the right of these falls is a smaller
waterfall, separated from the others by the forces of
nature, called Bridal Veil Falls. Goat Island separates
the two parts of the American falls.
The Niagara Skywheel:
53 metres tall; offers a great
view of the Niagara Falls. As it is located on a hill
(Clifton Hill) you can see the Canadian and American
falls as well as the Niagara River. The ride on the
wheel is 12 minutes long – 6 rounds of two minutes each.
Since the ferris wheel’s cars are sealed and
air-conditioned, the ride is open every day of the year.
Niagara’s Fury:
A 4-D movie in which you will
experience for yourselves the creation of the Niagara
Falls. The adventure begins with an 8-minute animated
film in which you will learn how the waterfalls were
created during the ice age.
