The Niagara Adventure Theatre
Experience the magic of cinema that helped recreate the stories of the daredevils who dared to see Niagara Falls as something to be conquered. Plunge over the falls with Annie Edson Taylor with her cat in a barrel, take a bumpy ride to Lake Ontario on the Maid of the Mist with Captain Joel Robinson, and walk the high wire round trip, with Charles Blondin. The Niagara: Miracles, Myths & Magic Movie offers guests a window into Niagara Falls’ sensational true stories including the death-defying daredevils that attempted to challenge the roaring and treacherous waters. In its new location, the theatre offers a comfortable, intimate, and fully accessible setting to enjoy the film, available in multiple languages. We combine education and entertainment in one film, showcasing the Falls and many awe-inspiring stories over its storied history. Convenient and accessible, this wildly informative and entertaining movie is your absolute first stop during your Niagara Falls visit. For over 35 years, Niagara Adventure Theatre, formerly known as IMAX Niagara, has engaged visitors and enriched their Niagara experience through an informative and entertaining introduction to the mighty Falls. Free parking makes the Niagara Adventure Theatre a convenient first stop before exploring other nearby attractions. We are located a short walk from Clifton Hill, various additional attractions, dining, shopping, and the Falls themselves. The theatre uses a 4K resolution and 24, 500 lumens projector to project onto a large 40′ wide by 20′ high screen. The projector delivers razor-sharp, high contrast digital images that brings Niagara’s human history to life.

Niagara Falls Scenic Helicopter Tour
It's clear why our helicopter tours are so popular among Niagara Falls attractions-they combine adventure and spectacular views for family vacation memories to last a lifetime. As the helicopter gently lifts off from our Victoria Avenue location, the awe-inspiring views of the Niagara Region begin to appear below. We wouldn't want any picture-taking opportunity to be missed so cameras should be ready to go right from the start! Beginning with the Sir Adam Beck Generating plant and the Niagara Parks Commission School of Horticulture, the tour follows the Niagara River from the Whirlpool area (look for the Spanish Aero Car crossing the gorge), over the Whirlpool Rapids and the Rainbow Bridge. The green grass and floral beauty of Queen Victoria Park stretches below as the helicopter passes by the American Falls and the Skylon Tower. Just when it looks as if you will reach the Fallsview area, your Niagara Falls helicopter tour begins to change direction following the curve of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Rainbows appear and disappear from all directions. The helicopter levels off and continues along the route back to base. There is one thing our clients all agree on - the images you will capture on our Niagara Falls Scenic Flightseeing Tour are absolutely breathtaking but they still do not do the experience justice. Seeing the Falls from above gives you a perspective like no other. On a clear day you will see the outline of Toronto to the North and the shores of Lake Erie to the South. The path the Falls travelled over centuries is clear and awe-inspiring but watching the water travelling from Lake Erie and tumbling over the edge of the Niagara Gorge and on to Lake Ontario is nearly impossible to describe - even with a photograph. You just have to see ¡t to believe it. Flights depart daily from 9 a.m. until dusk, weather permitting. Duration: 12 minutes (including boarding time). Our fleet includes the Airbus H130 is a single engine light helicopter which seats one pilot and up to seven passengers. This modern helicopter, one of the most popular single engine helicopters in the world, started flying tours at Niagara Helicopters in June
