JOURNEY BEHIND THE FALLS
Visitors to Niagara Falls can enjoy the thunder of the waters from a completely different perspective by visiting The Journey Behind The Falls attraction, located in the Table Rock House Plaza beside the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The observation platform at the base of the falls is easily reached by elevators and a network of tunnels.
Two other tunnels provide a close-up view of the Falls from behind. The tunnels extend only 46 metres(150 feet) behind the waterfall, so there is not a lot of walking. And you can explore it all at your leisure: the excursion is completely self-guided.
Protective rain gear is included in the cost of admission
For current pricing, Group Rates, contact information please visit
The official Journey Behind the Falls Website or e-mail at npinfo@niagaraparks. com
FALLS TOWER RIDE
A guided tour of the Falls. When you reach the top, enjoy a 360 degree panaromic view of the Falls and area parks. Clifton Hills, Canada
