Journey Behind the Falls

Reached from the Table Rock Centre beside the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, Journey Behind the Falls sends visitors down by elevator to a network of century-old rock tunnels cut into the gorge wall. Two portals open onto the back of the falling water itself, while a lower observation deck places guests at the base of the cascade where the spray and vibration are impossible to ignore. Operated year-round by the Niagara Parks Commission, the attraction reopened with refreshed exhibits and interpretation in recent years, and it remains one of the most immersive ways to experience the Canadian falls up close.
