Now you can fly over Niagara Falls on a zipline

While visitors can get breathtaking views of Niagara Falls from both the US and Canada, there is now a third option that offers the most exhilarating view of this natural wonder.

Indeed, the company Wild Play Elements Parks has installed four ziplines across these falls for the season. You have to have a strong heart to try the experience! You will be at a height of 70 meters, to walk the 670 meters that connect the Grand View Marketplace of Niagara Parks to Ontario Power Company, at the base of the largest of the three waterfalls. All at a speed of about 65 km/h.

Obviously, the descent is fast. At cruising speed, the journey takes barely a minute. But the landscape as well as the adrenaline will make it memorable and above all unforgettable.

If you think you can cope with this trip, the zip lines are open until October. Hot sunny weather doesn't last forever! And you sure don't want to get stuck there when the whole area is frozen.

A zipline descent costs $50, or €42 per person. Thrills guaranteed!
