Since the 1930's, this classic destination has been taking visitors on an elevator ride down 230 feet to the edge of the mighty Niagara River. A well-constructed boardwalk allows you to stroll along at your own pace right next to the river with 2 opportunities to descend stairs to take you even closer.

The whole experience may take you about an hour to an hour and a half. The boardwalk is flat and shaded and wheelchair accessible.

Admission: $9 Adults, $5.85 Children (6-12). Children 5 and under are free!

Getn' There: Cross the Rainbow Bridge into Niagara Falls, Canada and follow river Road north. White water Walk is on your right with free parking across the street on your left.
