Downriver from the Falls, visitors make their way over the river in this suspended cable car, which made its premiere in 1916. Its half-mile journey takes about ten minutes to complete, during which time passengers are afforded incredible views of the Niagara Whirlpool. This intriguing phenomenon is formed where river currents meet with a solid obstacle and turn sharply counterclockwise, creating a magnificent whirlpool. The car's high vantage point also promises other terrific views of the surrounding landscape. A discount coupon for the Whirlpool Aero Car is included with the purchase of the Niagara Falls & Great Gorge Adventure Pass.
