Find Hotels Near Journey Behind the Falls Niagara Falls

Journey Behind the Falls is one of the most popular attractions in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Visitors can experience firsthand the thundering power and beauty of Niagara Falls as they explore a 130-year-old series of underground tunnels that bring them behind the cascading water. As you journey behind the thunderous falls, you can feel the misty spray on your face and marvel at the immense power of this natural wonder.

The Journey Behind the Falls attraction begins with an elevator ride down 125 feet into a tunnel system that was built into the bedrock under The Table Rock Complex. Here, visitors can get up close to two of Niagara’s three famous falls, Horseshoe Falls and American Falls. Along both sides of these tunnels are observation windows where one can stand and watch as millions of gallons of water surge over the brink from above. For those brave enough, glass floor panels provide views directly below into a raging mist filled cavern filled with churning whitewater!

In addition to providing a thrilling view of nature’s powerful cascades, visitors also learn about how these majestic falls were formed over 12,000 years ago during the last Ice Age when melting glaciers created rivers which flowed to Lake Erie and then out through Niagara Gorge. They also gain an insight into how people have been awed by these spectacular falls for centuries; whether it be Native Americans who believed it to be a place of supernatural power or daredevil tightrope walkers who’ve crossed its roaring rapids.

The Journey Behind The Falls is more than just an incredible spectacle; it's also an educational experience, offering guests information on conservation efforts dedicated to preserving Niagara’s splendour while respecting and protecting its fragile ecosystem. It’s truly a unique adventure that offers something for everyone – families, couples or groups – so why not come see what all the fuss is about?
