As the leaves begin to change, there’s no better time to plan a fall leaf-peeping trip – and one experience just 90 minutes away from Toronto offers a new perspective that can’t be beat.
If you’re up for a scenic day trip, the epic Whirlpool Aero Car is a historic, must-see attraction that will bring you soaring high above the Niagara River’s colourful fall foliage.
From riding suspended 200 feet in the air to taking in panoramic views of the swirling, turquoise Class 6 rapids below, you’ll get to experience an unforgettable aerial adventure framed by red and gold autumn trees.
Glide through the air on a cable car that dates back to 1916, trace a path across the natural phenomenon of the Niagara Whirlpool, and technically cross the U.S. border four times without ever needing a passport! The ten-minute round trip offers unobstructed views of the river’s dramatic landscape at peak leaf-peeping season.
Tickets are priced at $25.00 for adults 13 and older, while children ages 3 to 12 can ride for $16.50. Little ones aged two and under can join for free! Grab your timed entry pass online before heading down the highway so you can skip the long queues on busy autumn weekends.
The Whirlpool Aero Car is located at 3850 Niagara Parkway in Niagara Falls, operating daily throughout the fall season until early November from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week, and 9 a.m. to 6p.m. on weekends.
