Journey Behind the Falls

We visited during the winter, so most of the falls were frozen. It was still amazing to see and definitely worth the trip, but I’m sure the view is even more impressive during the warmer months. Parts of the tunnel were covered with snow, yet the observation deck still offered a fantastic experience.

We came in the winter (Valentine's Day weekend to be exact) to see the falls frozen and enjoy the cold weather. And we were not disappointed! The portals underground were frozen and the lower observation deck was closed, but we assumed this would be the case going into the journey, so we weren't disappointed. Reading the history in advance was nice as well. The winter frozen falls is something to see. Niagara falls in all the seasons is a lovely place to visit... Especially on the Canadian side. 😍

It was really great to be able to experience this and the falls so close. But it was a pretty quick and short experience. I expected much more out of the tunnels and to explore more but there really wasnt much else besides 3 different looking points (and one of the decks was frozen and closed). It was pretty and cool but don’t think it justified the price we paid.

Journey Behind the Falls is an absolutely incredible experience! 🌊 Being able to stand just behind the roaring waterfalls and feel the mist on your face is something you’ll never forget. The tunnels are well-maintained, safe, and give a unique perspective of the falls that you just can’t get anywhere else. The views from the observation decks are spectacular, and the sound of the water crashing down is both thrilling and mesmerizing. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or coming back to Niagara Falls, Journey Behind the Falls is a must-do – it’s up close, exhilarating, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for all ages!

Unbelievable! If you thought Niagara Falls was breath-taking from the shoreline, wait until you see it from the inside. The views from behind the falls are truly spectacular and unique. To be able to stand just a few meters from the raging waters of one of nature’s wonders is humbling. Feeling the mist hit your face is wild. You can look out across the Niagara River to see thousands of other tourists walking around Canada and the United States, enjoying a boat ride, or looking back at you from the observation deck. On the walls, there are some fun factoids and a brief history of Niagara Falls. The heaviest tourist season is during the summer and hotter months, but we went during the winter and it somehow got more amazing. Seeing the huge icicles and frozen mists in the air is truly a sight to behold. It also helped make the journey quick and painless, since there are huge lines during the warmer times and the only way up is by elevator. Journey Behind the Falls is something everyone should experience, as well as Niagara Falls itself. The area is modern, easy to traverse, and so stunning that it seems surreal at times. This is a big bucket list item.
