Ziplining to the Falls: WildPlay Niagara Falls set to open by Summer 2016

WildPlay Niagara Falls is bringing ziplining and adventure to Niagara Falls with two exciting adventure courses!
The first attraction is a zip line which operates at the Niagara Park Commission’s Grand View Marketplace. The WildPlay’s MistRider Zipline to the Falls is an amazing rush that soars high and fast above the gorge from the Grand View Marketplace toward the Niagara Falls. It’s a guided, human-powered Element that’s suitable to ages seven and older. It includes four high-speed, side-by-side lines that will descend a distance of 670 metres (2200 feet) from the Grand View Marketplace into the Niagara Gorge below.
The second attraction is Wildplay’s Whirlpool Adventure Course which is a fun and thrilling experience of suspended obstacles and ziplines in the midst of nature. Three self-paced courses include dozens of climbing, ziplining, log ladders, monkey bars, jumping, and swinging aerial games for guests aged five and older. It will be located at the north side of the Whirlpool at Thompson Point.  As the course moves on, the level of intensity gets more difficult.

“Our goal is to provide both adventure and educational opportunities as guests explore nature within the Parks. It’s a thrilling opportunity to be working with The Niagara Parks Commission and WildPlay Element Parks to bring these new human-powered, eco-adventure attractions to Niagara Falls,” says Lindsay DiCosimo, Marketing Manager for WildPlay Niagara Falls.
