The Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster consists of over 100 metres of track that runs throughout the mountain terrain and you get to control the speed. You can take it slow and steady, and really take in all the sights. Or you can ramp it up to 42 km/hr for a more exhilarating ride. The Ridge Runner has been a fan favourite for years and it’s open all year round.

Niagara’s Whirlpool Aero car has reopened for the seaso, whisking you high above the rushing Niagara River in an antique cable car. As you glide through the air, you’ll have a perfect view of the fascinating phenomenon that is the Niagara Whirlpool.

The experience is described as “sometimes frightening and always unforgettable,” so consider this your warning! Don’t worry, the cable car is held up by six sturdy cables to keep you safe during your airborne adventure.

Zipline to the Falls

WildPlay’s Zipline to the Falls is an amazing rush that soars high above the gorge from Grand View Marketplace toward the breathtaking natural phenomenon of Niagara Falls. You’ll travel down 670 metres (2,200 feet), past the American Falls and land at the base of the Horseshoe Falls on the observation deck. It doesn’t matter if you are 7 or 97, this experience is fun for everyone.

Scenic Caves Nature Adventures Bridge

Did you know Southern Ontario’s longest suspension bridge is about two hours away from Toronto? Located at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures, the suspension footbridge is accessible year-round (weather dependent) and makes for a true adventure in any season.

“For 420 feet, you’re suspended high above the snowy forest floor with expansive views surrounding you 360 degrees. On a clear day, you can see 10,000 square kilometres – to the far side of Georgian Bay and beyond,” states their website.
