The WildPlay Niagara Falls Whirlpool Adventure Course has just had its official unveiling on May 19th, 2017, and it is a fun, challenging, and unique way to experience your choice of three self-paced suspended obstacles that include ziplines, climbing, jumping, and swinging aerial games. Of course, the setting can’t be beat with the backdrop being the Niagara Whirlpool and Niagara Gorge.
