Journey Behind the Falls, Waterfall attraction at Niagara Falls, Canada
The tunnels extend 125 feet below ground level, leading visitors through bedrock passages to observation portals directly behind the rushing waters.
Engineers constructed the original tunnel system in 1892, creating passages through solid rock to enable visitors to experience the falls from behind.
The Table Rock Welcome Centre exhibits detail the formation of Niagara Falls and the traditions of Indigenous communities who first inhabited the region.
The attraction operates daily, providing biodegradable ponchos during summer months and offering reduced winter rates when the lower deck closes due to ice.
Two observation portals positioned one-third of the way behind the falls allow visitors to witness 2,800 cubic meters of water falling every second.
