Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Niagara Falls

plan to stay for at least 2-3 hours if you want to do multiple races. i tried to squeeze it into an hour and ended up wishing i had more time!

If you can, visit during the weekdays, especially in the morning; you’ll avoid the crowds and spend less time waiting. I went on a Saturday, and it was packed!

Don’t forget to wear closed-toe shoes; I saw some people turned away for wearing flip-flops. Trust me, you’ll want to be comfortable while racing!

If racing for the first time, I suggest doing some practice laps before hitting the fast lane. They let you have fun, but you'll want a little warm-up!

Bring your own gloves. You can rent them there, but it’s a bit pricey and actually kinda dirty. My advice is, better safe than sorry!

Check the weather beforehand. It was a bit rainy when we went, which makes the track a lot more slippery and unpredictable. I think I preferred the sunny days for more fun!

I suggest going on a weekday if you can. We went on Saturday and the lines were super long. We wasted a lot of time just waiting to get onto the track.

If you have a GoPro or something similar, take it with you! I didn’t, and I regretted not capturing the experience while racing – the track is a blast!

If you want the best aerial views, try to sit at the front or on the left side of the helicopter. I was on the right and saw a lot of backs of heads instead of the falls

I recommend bringing your own water bottle. They have a concession stand, but the prices are a bit high for drinks.

I think it’s worth visiting during the summer months when the outdoor section is open. It really adds to the experience with the nice weather and cool dinosaur decorations

My advice is to check for any packages that combine activities, like mini-golf and a meal deal. It saved me some cash compared to paying separately!
