Best Public, Airport and Downtown Transportation in Fort Erie

"The Whirlpool Aero Car is a cable car that takes visitors over the Niagara Whirlpool, named for its whirling, raging waters. Six sturdy cables support the antique cable car, which transports 35 passengers across a one-kilometer section of the river, providing an exhilarating experience of floating high above the swirling whirlpool below. If being airborne is not for you, then head to the White Water Walk, which is a wooden boardwalk winds alongside the raging rapids of the river, offering nearly as spectacular views."

"See the Great Gorge and the churning Niagara Whirlpool on a trip from one bank of the Niagara to the other, suspended in a historic cable car that’s in operation since 1916. (Don’t worry: it’s been updated since!) www.niagaraparks.com/niagara-falls-attractions/whirlpool-aero-car.html"

"If you want an aerial shot of the magnificent whirlpool and the surrounding ferocious rapids, the vintage Aerocar is the way to go about it. You’ll be suspended directly above Niagara River for a once-in-a-lifetime shot. What’s your favourite photography location?"

"Take a helicopter tour and soar above the turbulent rapids and cascading waterfalls. Niagara Helicopters has a fleet of five Bell 407 helicopters that have been exciting people from around the world with the highest, most scenic sightseeing experience in the Niagara Region for over 40 years. The tour is 9 minutes long that includes on-board commentary in many different languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, so no one will be left out throughout the journey."

"For an experience your kids will be talking about for years, take a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls with Niagara Helicopters. It’s way less scary than it sounds, and there’s no minimum age to ride. The flight takes 12 minutes, and six passengers can ride at once."

"3731 Victoria AveNiagara Falls, ON L2E 6V5, Canada(905) 357-5672. For over 50 years, this adventure operator has been captivating travelers with its thrilling 12-minute aerial tours."

"Explore more from the comfort of the state-of-the-art WEGO Shuttle System. The new shuttle connects the tourist district with the rest of the City of Niagara Falls so guests can see more of what the city has to offer. WEGO is fully accessible and operates year-round."

"If you’re looking to try some local craft beer in Niagara Falls, stop by Taps Brewhouse. They brew their craft beer in small batches using only 4 ingredients, and they’re all available on-tap in the restaurant. You can sample 4 different beers with their Tasting Flight, which is around $7 CAD!"

"The granddad of Buffalo’s craft breweries, Flying Bison opened in 2000 and was the first to do so in the city since the Iroquois Brewing Company closed in 1972. It’s helmed by Tim Herzog, who has over 30 years of brewing experience and covers many of the basics. You’ll find brews like the toffee-tinged Rusty Chain, an amber lager-ale hybrid; the smooth Blackbird Stout, made with oats; and the cloudy and citrusy Juice Caboose, a New England-style IPA. The taproom is open for drinking Wednesday through Saturday, and tours and tastings are offered."

"A past winner of the best craft brewery award at TAP New York, the state’s largest and longest-running beer festival, Big Ditch pays homage to the Erie Canal. The brewery, which opened downtown in 2014, has built its foundation on well-executed beers referencing the historic commercial waterway that forever altered the trajectory of Buffalo and offered the first direct connection between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes, thus opening up America to westward expansion. This includes the Low Bridge golden ale; Excavator, a brown ale with rye; and Hayburner, an award-winning IPA that accounts for 70 percent of total production from the 20-barrel operation (its success has spawned several variants, including one with an obscene amount of Citra hops)."

"The name “Big Ditch” may not necessarily conjure up images of a delighted palate. It’s actually meant to reference the Erie Canal and its world-changing effect on both Buffalo and Western New York. Big Ditch Brewing is seeking to do the same thing in their own way, showcasing the strength, pride and ingenuity that fueled both Buffalo’s early boom and its current renaissance."

"This beloved kitchen was started by Ruth Anne Schriefer nearly 20 years ago. Today, her daughter Maddy is in charge of the changing plates and cocktails. But her breads and pastries are the main attractions here, often selling out within an hour of opening (and even earlier on the weekends)."

"Down Lundy’s Lane is La Farina, a relatively young bakery and deli (opened in 2000) that also offers handmade frozen pasta, imported Italian groceries and an array of cafeteria-style hot prepared meals. But since the subject here is bakery, we’d be remiss not to focus on the simple staple that fuels this spot: bread. La Farina rivals Portage for the best Italian loaves in the city, with a soft, chewy crumb and sharp golden crust."
