Journey Behind the Falls
Best time to visit
An early morning reduces the crowds, and the weather is often fresh and clear for better views and photos. Spring and summer months bring extra water from snow and rain melt.
Budget tips
Ticket prices are reasonable with discounts for children and seniors, and combination tickets with other Niagara attractions save money. Free admission on certain off-peak days can be found through the tourist office.

About
Quick facts: You can walk down into tunnels behind the waterfalls and feel the rush of over 2,800 cubic meters of water per second. It feels like standing in the middle of a natural concert of water's power and rumbling.
Highlights: Behind the waterfall there is a network of tunnels where you can see water spray and hear the thunder of the falls up close. The only way to get this close and gain this unique perspective of the cascades crashing down just a few meters in front of you.
Insider tips
- Bring waterproof clothing and shoes, as water often sprays close to the tunnels.
- Photograph early to avoid mist and crowds on the viewing platforms.
- Avoid weekends for a calmer experience.
- Plan the visit in spring to see extra large amounts of water.
