I loved the history and the roar we heard as we got as close to the falls as you possibly can. Really helps you to get in touch with the power that much water generates.

It's your option. You can stay in the tunnels and look out at the falls, or you can go out on the patio and look up at the falls. If you opt for the patio, you will need the raincoat. The power of the falls is AWESOME.

Makes a person proud to be Canadian and proud of what we have all accomplished. Its hard to describe the freight train sound that you will experience never mind the memorable scenes

Getting that close to the falls was awesome! We got to see how powerful the falls are from behind!! You walk through a cave to get a 'behind the scenes' view of the incredible rush of water. The view is great, and you get soaked!! It's fabulous, and a do not miss attraction!

This attraction gives you a different perspective...on the deck you are really close to the edge of the Horseshoe falls and you can stay as long as you wish.

Unless you are in a barrel going over the falls, I don't know how you could get any closer than by taking part in this attraction. After you are taken down via elevator, you will actually walk behind the Horseshoe Falls. There are two viewing portals where you can look out and see the falls coming down just a few... More

If I remember correctly, there are two overlooks and two peepholes. It cost around $30-$35 for two adults, which was a little pricey, cosidering the view was not much. From the two peepholes, you could see the water cascading down in a very small area (5 ft by 5 ft or so). The two observation decks were pretty cool, especially... More

If you can't stomach the boat ride and still want the experience of the falls then this is for you! Ride the elevators down and back up, step behind the falls and peer out of the portals or out on to the landing and get just as wet as in the boat trip! Photos can be a bit tricky to... More

For me it was about experiencing Niagara Falls from every angle I could. My Dad was visiting from Australia and as this may be the only time he ever gets to see Niagara Falls I didn't feel that this was a waste of money. You go down an elevator then through some tunnels, and viola.. you're right behind Niagara Falls.... More

My wife, my 4 yr old daughter and I visited this attraction as part of our Adventure passes. How some could say this was better than the Maid of the Mist I don't know. My first disappointment with this attraction was how unorganized it was. When I bought the Adventure pass, they made us make reservation to do this attraction.... More
