Best New Niagara Falls Attraction — Above the Roar vs. Niagara Takes Flight
Two new Niagara Falls attractions bring fresh thrills to both sides of the border. Here’s how to choose your adventure.
Above the Roar

• Located at the Ralph Wilson Welcome Center at Niagara Falls State Park in New York. Riders must be 7 or older. Cost is $18.
• Take a ride on Maid of the Mist, hike one of nine scenic trails ranging from .7 to 5.4 miles, take the trolley to the Aquarium of Niagara or dine at the Top of the Falls restaurant. niagarafallsstatepark.com
Niagara Takes Flight
• Motion-based seats and other special effects — like wind, mist and scent — come together to create the exhilarating illusion of free flight from the shores of Ontario to Horseshoe Falls.
• Located at Table Rock Centre on the Ontario side of Niagara Falls. Tickets are $33 for adults and $21.50 for children.
• Check out iconic attractions like Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara’s Fury, then dine at Table Rock House Restaurant or Table Rock Market. niagaraparks.com
