Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara Falls
Facts and practical information
Journey Behind the Falls is a captivating experience nestled in the heart of Niagara Falls, Canada. This unique attraction provides visitors with an exceptional vantage point of one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders from below and behind the waterfalls themselves. Situated within the Niagara Parks, it offers a rare glimpse into the raw power and beauty of the Horseshoe Falls.
Descending 125 feet through bedrock, guests are led to a series of tunnels that open up to observation decks and portals, providing an up-close and personal encounter with the thunderous falls. The sound is deafening, the sight is awe-inspiring, and the sensation of the mist on your face is unforgettable. This park feature allows you to witness the sheer volume of water plummeting down at 65 kilometers per hour, and to truly understand the magnitude of the Niagara River's flow.
The Journey Behind the Falls is more than just a viewing experience; it is an immersive adventure that allows you to feel the force of nature. The observation deck at the foot of the Falls puts you so close to the cascading water that you can almost reach out and touch it. It's a year-round attraction, though the decks and lower observation areas can be closed during icy winter conditions due to safety concerns.
The attraction is open to visitors throughout the year, with extended hours during the summer months. Rain ponchos are provided to help keep you dry from the mist, but expect to feel the spray of the falls as a natural part of the experience. It's advisable to wear waterproof shoes and bring a change of clothes if you plan to explore more of the park afterwards.
