Niagara Falls has long been a popular honeymoon and vacation destination, and it just got even better in a huge way!
WildPlay Element Parks has just set up four zip lines across the falls, meaning you can actually zip line over Niagara Falls!
The first zip line was set up in 2016, and only the brave should attempt to do it. The zip line has riders going at about 40 miles per hour across 2,200 feet from 220 feet up in the air, and it takes just 30 seconds from start to finish.
The zip lines are open until October, and they only cost $50 to do. Children must be 7 years-old to do the zip line, and those 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Though some have argued that putting a zip line in a place like Niagara Falls is an affront to nature, the company that is doing it says that it’s just a sign of modern times.
“We can’t make these into museums,” said Tom Benson, co-founder and chief experience officer at WildPlay Element Parks. “We have to keep the general public — the folks that these places have been set aside for — we have to keep them motivated to get out there.”
“How do you take a teenager and get them away from a game console to something that is going to capture their imagination?” he asked.
I will definitely have to try this during my next Niagara Falls trip!
