Journey Behind the Falls, A Roaring Adventure!


A wonderful thundering wet adventure where you get to see the falls closer than you had ever dared. This attraction takes you where it claims to, BEHIND the falls. You get to feel the spray of mist across your face and take fascinating pictures from behind the falls that will be the envy of your friends. This journey takes only 30-45 minutes and you get to see the falls rushing before you at 65 km/h (40 mph).

Entering through the Table Rock House you get a bio-degradable raincoat for everyone that is going. There are two caves that run behind the Horseshoe Falls that guests get to walk around in and the waterfall is visible through the cave entrances.

Tickets for Journey Behind the Falls (April – December):
Adults (13+): $14.95
Children (6-12): $9.95
Children under 5 are Free!

  1. Niagara Is catagorized is among the safest locations on the globe to see this type of potent along with dangerous part of nature being a tourist. Nik Wallenda is just not arriving at Niagara Falls as a traveler, he's returning your daredevil culture. It is really an crucial part of getting back the feeling of journey and also genuine a feeling of threat which has been steadily melting over the years. It is welcome reports in which Nik Wallenda offers to create his / her turn to Niagara Falls Is catagorized permanent, being a citizen he'll be an element of the increasing number of entertainers which journey the earth and judge in the future the place to find Niagara.
