    A few friends and I did this for my birthday since it was open during part of the last lockdown (when you could only do outdoor activities). It was a lot of fun. We did find it pretty challenging surprisingly. A few of us had done other high ropes courses in the past, and we found it to be pretty difficult at time. Regardless, we got through it, and had a lot of fun doing it. We even paid for the expert course and the what’s to fear jump. The package was definitely worth it. We spent about 4-5 hours here. They didn’t really put a time constraint on us either, and let us move at our own pace which was super nice. I’d definitely recommend overall for those of any age. By the way, if you are thinking of going, you get parking for free. We didn’t know and ended up paying for the parking. Oh well, we now know for next time. We’ll be back to try the night climb next year!

    When we were booking we are not sure if we should just do classic course or the classic with extreme and 40ft jump as a triple play! I will help you out! Just do Classic!!! It is very intense! We were so tired by end of it! It has tons of thrills and great views! We booked with wet jet boat package to get discount on bundle! Highly recommend! You really get to conquer your fear of heights at your own pace! Pro tip! Before starting level 3, get water! We were so thirsty!!! Also take your phone with you!! You will get great pics of the Whirlpool! Also bring light weight gloves if you don’t want risk of splinters! ❤️

    Had a great time!!! The kids loved it. Was an extremely hot day and not much shade, free water bottle fill ups if you buy the small $10.00 water bottle 😞 The staff was friendly and helpful. Great explanation on how to use the equipment and very safe. Amazing views once you get to the 3rd Red level of the whirlpool waters. I would suggest you bring your own water bottle and go on a shady day!

    A super-fun adventure for the whole family. The staff is great and very helpful. The course we did was difficult, but rewarding. People with a fear of heights will definitely struggle at points, but the safety precautions should reassure you.

    Adrenaline rush!!!! Thats all I got from so many activities and few things which looked way simple and easy from ground seemed super adventurous when did myself. And what can I say about EXTREME!!! IT IS REALLY EXTREME. Must try for those who like adventure, if you've intense fear of height, you got to do this. One more tip: TRY TO START EARLY COLD MORNING, so by the time it is sunny or hot you're almost done rather than sweating and tired all the way when starting at 11 or 12. Best bet start at 9am or max 10am. We did both classic and extreme, completed at around 2.45pm when started at 10.30am. Best of luck. Totally worth it.

    A nice variety of courses and zip lines. I would recommend coming here with friends who are willing to take some risks and aren’t afraid of heights. It’s a great mini workout and fun way to enjoy the outdoors. I would recommend coming here on a nice, not too hot day during the summer. Come around 4 pm so you can be up top for the sunset. It’s truly a beautiful view - you see the sunset at one end and the Niagara water on another - all with the thrill and excitement of the rope course. Downside: it’s a bit pricy and you have to be focused, and quickly understand how to operate the course after being taught only once. Lots of independent here.

    My daughter and her friends enjoyed their afternoon at Wildplay Niagara. She celebrated her 12th birthday with a group of friends. The booking and check-in process was easy and fairly efficient. All of the girls found the course to be fun and physically enjoyable, acouple of the spots caused abit of confusion but they overcame them. The afternoon took about and hour including the fitting and safety brief and cost approximately $35.00 each. The ropes course only took the girls about 30 minutes though, so paying for the extra $10 for another lap could be a viable option. We started at 4pm and were one of the last groups so it was not overly busy. The girls enjoyed a photo over looking the Niagara gorge and the whirlpool rapids which was just steps from the entrance. The only downside was staffing, as with every business it appears they are running short on staff. We would definately return for another afternoon of fun.

    Awesome view / Mental & Physical Challenge If you are an outdoor challenge lover, please try it! My husband and I really love this place, and we got seasoning passes which was really good deal. We can enjoy it whenever we are free! Try the classic course first, to see if you are like it! If want to have more challenges and enjoy really beautiful mountain & river landscape, please try the hard course! Especially when the fall comes, the leaves are all painted colorfully🍁

    FUN! & a lil exhausting but in a fun way. If you've never done a ropes course beware this 1 could kick your butt. Overall great time.

  • 5/5 Electronik 10 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    This was our best adventure in Canada. $60 CAD per person for 2-3 hours of fun - totally worth spending. Not easy. If not trained your body will soar for 3-4 days after. But unforgettable emotions.

  • 5/5 Bhanu Pratap S. 9 months ago on Google • 65 reviews
    Good weekend getaway experience. The courses are moderate and you will have most fun during the zipline. Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared for a light workout.

    A visit to Whirlpool Table Rock is an unforgettable experience, where untouched nature combines with the mesmerizing beauty of the fall season. The colorful trees that line the area create a breathtaking backdrop, with vibrant autumn hues that seem to paint the landscape. What truly sets this place apart is the powerful presence of the roaring river, which adds an element of grandeur to the natural setting. Whether you're a nature lover or simply seeking a moment of awe-inspiring beauty, Whirlpool Table Rock is a must-visit destination. It's a perfect spot to immerse yourself in the wonders of the great outdoors.

    This is about my 5th or 6th visit to this beautiful reserve. There are a few trails below where you can get an even closer view of the water. I have explored different trails, and one thing i recommend is to wear proper shoes. The paths are very rocky down below. These pictures are taken from the lookout across the Whirpool Center, where you can purchase tickets for the tree top trekking in the area.

  • 5/5 M P. 10 months ago on Google
    It was a blast. Definitely not too strenuous or difficult, but a great way to push ones nerves if heights give you a scare. Well designed for safety, definitely a safe experience. This was a great way to enjoy good weather and a good view of the area. I definitely recommend strong sunscreen though, you can be stuck in the sun for quite a while.

  • 1/5 Sandy A. 9 months ago on Google
    Disappointed with the kids course. We had 2 kids do it (age 9 & 10) and they completed it in only 20 minutes. And that's with them going slow. The course was not busy so it would have been nice for them to go another round to get our money's worth. Wished our kids were taller to do the regular course. I'm sure that experience would have been worth it for the money.

  • 5/5 Quintyn S. 9 months ago on Google
    This was an amazing experience, my girlfriend and I did the full experience where we did the classic course, the extreme course and the what to fear jump. The classic course was great getting more and more difficult as you progress though it. At the halfway point of classic and before extreme they will have you take a break and go grab some water which is a really good idea because after that you ascend to a higher level with harder challenges. The next part is extreme and they mean it, it will challenge the limits of your strength and endurance especially if you just did the other courses. But the views on these courses are totally worth the workout. As you progress though the classic and the extreme you'll get better and better views of the whirlpool and the gorge. Make sure to have some way to carry and secure a phone or camera because these are some views you'll want to remember and show off to your friends. The one thing I would say was not worth the experience was the what's to fear jump. If you get the package with it, make sure to do it first. The rope ladder is hard work to climb and the jump didn't really feel like the "freefall" that was advertised. The jump at the end of the extreme course is significantly better so since we did the courses first that jump was no big deal. Also, don't forget sunscreen as you'll be out in direct sunlight on the courses for a couple hours at least. It is also a great workout so expect some muscle soreness if climbing is not something you do regularly.

  • 5/5 Thérèse W. 9 months ago on Google
    Fun for those not afraid of heights (or trying to conquer it) and reasonable fit. Nice area. Walking/biking trails near by if not doing the course.

  • 5/5 Zolinda M. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Have been several times here with family. Very fun! The only thing is the wait to get briefed and get gear is a little to long. 45-60mins. I’d recommend to make smaller groups this will reduce customer’s wait and will give more time for kids to enjoy the course.

  • 3/5 Jess N. 11 months ago on Google
    It was a good time as usual but we had to do our gearing up and training with everyone which really slowed down our timing! Would appreciate going back to just doing that with the group you came with

  • 5/5 Ruchie R. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing experience! Must visit. Caution - not as easy as it looks. This activity does require a lot physical strength. Would not recommend for kids or elders. Avoid if you have any current or past injuries.

  • 5/5 Douglas R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience and really challenging. I had a great time. The ladders are the worst ;)

  • 5/5 Gregan W. 1 year ago on Google
    3 or 4 courses for all abilities, our 12 and 14yr old loved the extreme course. Pricey like all Niagra attractions but kids get much more back from this one. Great view over the whirlpool. Plenty of zip lines.

  • 5/5 Gigi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing area. Did not participate in any activities but still awesome and powerful river current to look at! Buy tickets ahead of time, but given the secluded area not many visitors know of this place, our are too enthralled with the Falls. Picture of our awesome tour guide Khalid with my kids enjoying the view

  • 5/5 Gerson P. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the classic course and it was a blast! Highly recommend if you're in the Niagara region.

  • 5/5 KR M (. 1 year ago on Google
    Magnificent, enormous, challenging course nearby the beautiful Niagara Whirlpool. I didn't do the course. I saw it while others were doing it. I went with a tour group to see the Whirlpool.

  • 5/5 Furman W. 2 years ago on Google
    We experienced the zip lining at the falls and it was a great experience from start to finish. All the employees were very professional and ready to answer any of our questions. If you’re visiting the falls you definitely want to do the zip line experience.

  • 5/5 Alen T. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Should try it once completely worth it. Anyone can try it but not people afraid of heights. But its safe. You can really have a good time with your friends and family. Moreover, you will get a good aerial view of the area. If you book the admission the parking is included.

  • 5/5 DIY with 3. 2 years ago on Google
    The kids loved it and great place to enjoy as a family .Give yourselves ample time (3hrs min) so you & your kids can have fun ! One thing we didn’t know was that you can actually book online ( we didn’t know our ETA due to traffic from GTA) so if you’re staying over in Niagara better you book ahead . If you go there you get free parking as well that many don’t know !

  • 5/5 Anthony T. 2 years ago on Google
    My kids enjoy the adventure course built for 12 and under. If you visit Great Wolf Lodge or Niagara Falls area, it's great to bring kids here for a little challenges to burn off their energy.

  • 5/5 Ach P. 2 years ago on Google
    Did the Classic adventure - 90-120 mins for obstacles and zip lining. Definitely challenging and worth the admission price! Also, staff were super friendly and always around to assist.

  • 5/5 Mason V. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    This place was amazing, such a fun course!! Staff was super friendly and patient while we were figuring out how to use the equipment. This was the best obstacle/treetop trekking course I’ve ever done with an added bonus of the Niagara whirlpool view!!! Definitely worth every penny.
