Itinerary:

We will go to the Niagara Whirlpool (where the Niagara River turns and causes a whirlpool effect), near the Falls Gorge Aero Car. We will take the trail down to the river, and spend a couple of hours scrambling among the rocks and following the river, exploring other trails, etc. We will also have lunch down there, so bring some food with you.

Then we will drive to the indoor "skydiving" place here, that features a wind tunnel and we will experience the sensation of freefall that hooks skydivers and leaves the rest of us wondering.

Attending the Indoor freefall is optional but you may have to wait around watching others have fun. Better bring a book.

The cost is $70 per person but if we have 12 people, we can pay $700 for the group (for a discounted price of $58.00/person.
