Above the Roar Virtual Reality
Rise Above Niagara Falls
You’ve stood at the edge of Niagara Falls. Now experience it from above, below, and everywhere in between.
Above the Roar is a fully immersive, multi-sensory virtual reality experience inside the Ralph Wilson Welcome Center that takes you on a thrilling journey around the most powerful waterfall in North America.
Through exclusive aerial footage, motion-enhanced seating, and immersive sound, you will soar above the Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil Falls, glide through the gorge, and plunge into the depths below.
Drone flights are not permitted over Niagara Falls. This is a perspective few have ever seen.
Double the Wonder and Save!
Two unforgettable Niagara Falls experiences. One great price.
Why choose one adventure when you can experience both? This winter and spring, bundle Above the Roar with Cave of the Winds for just $24 per person, saving $5 on regular adult admission.
Soar above Niagara Falls with immersive VR, then get closer to the power of the Falls at Cave of the Winds. Two incredible perspectives, one convenient ticket, and more wonder for less!
