Big Disappointment. Don't waste your money. Although the viewing platform gives you a decent view of the falls, the 2 behind the falls portals leave a lot to be desired. You don't really see anything…Full review by MapleLeaf1867

Q:
Has this tour been effected. By the air quality? I’m due to travel in a week and half.
A:
As of today, the air quality is at 3 ("low risk"). I don't think the venue itself is a problem. It's the long lineups upstairs for tickets and downstairs for the elevator. If we're talking 10+ …

As of today, the air quality is at 3 ("low risk"). I don't think the venue itself is a problem. It's the long lineups upstairs for tickets and downstairs for the elevator. If we're talking 10+ ("extreme") like early last week, then I might be concerned. Just bring along an N95 mask and keep a eye on Environment Canada, just in case things go smoky again.

I'm not sure if you can rent a wheelchair there but I'm pretty sure the experience is handicapped accessible at a wheelchair level. If she were to walk she would need to be able to enter the building and walk through a long queue. Then she would talk an elevator down to the falls and the tunnels are flat and all on one level to view the falls. Each tunnel is probably 200 feet long (I'm speculating). Hope this helps!
