About Journey Behind the Falls Tickets
Want to see what waterfalls look like up close? Come to world-famous Niagara Parks and journey behind the Falls! You’ll view mighty waterfalls from specially designed observation decks, enabling you to stand right next to the falls from behind - and experience the water’s full power.
Go behind the falls, stand on the observation decks, and stare at Horseshoe Falls’ overwhelming strength. As water crashes down with a thunderous roar, you’ll see stunning views of one of nature’s most beautiful creations.
Descend 125 feet and make your way through 130-year-old tunnels. As you wander the passageways, you’ll feel the mighty falls’ booming vibrations crashing onto the earth. You don’t need to see the water to experience its force!
Since purchased tickets are valid for the entire day, you can explore whenever you like. A host will help you enter the site and give you a poncho, so you don't have to worry about getting wet!

Niagara Falls are gorgeous! Seeing the falls from behind was the highlight, it's a unique experience! You get super near the rushing water and can genuinely feel the current’s strength. There were even underground vibrations! It really made me realize how powerful nature can be. I'm glad I went because you see the waterfalls from a new perspective!
It was great seeing Niagara Falls from the other side! I had only ever seen photos from above. The view from the deck was amazing, too. Our group was small. There wasn't a crowd so you could see everything and take photos. Host was friendly. All in all, great experience!

TRAVEL DEEP INTO NIAGARA FALLS’ BEDROCK
Your Journey Behind the Falls doesn’t actually start with falls - it starts with tunnels! Descend 125 feet, and wander around the hallways carved into the bedrock. You’ll be deep underneath Horseshoe Falls, and will be able to hear the water’s thunderous roar - and feel vibrations throughout the earth! As you walk around, you’ll also spot informational posters teaching visitors about the tunnels’ evolution. Read them to learn about the tunnels’ 130-year history!
SEE THE HORSESHOE FALLS FROM BEHIND THE WATER
Next, ascend from the tunnels and walk out to the observation decks at the base of the falls. Here you’ll have a breathtaking view of the falls - a cascading waterfall crashing down in torrents, beautifully merging with the still lakes. Before you get close to the falls, we’ll provide you with a complimentary Niagara Parks poncho. That way, you can still stay dry while near the mighty falls, and truly enjoy their beauty.
LOOK AT THE FALLS FROM YET ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE
Once you’ve walked up and down the observation decks, head back inside the rock of Horseshoe Falls. There, you’ll find viewing portals cut straight from the rock - another unique viewpoint of the powerful falls. Stare through the openings, and watch as the water tumbles down from a new, mid-waterfall perspective. To complete the experience, consider seeing the Falls from below with a Niagara Falls boat tour: it’s the perfect way to fully take in their size, sound, and power from the river itself.
