Plus you will need to walk the same distance and time from parking lot. If you look at displayed it will be a minimum of 2.5 hours!!! Great bathrooms! The walkway is mostly dry flat concrete with slight rise. T oday rain coats were not needed which was nice. Great views oh horseshoe falls from below. Ask for a wheelchair!!! They only have a few. Had no time left to visit welcome center or overlook. I rated down because they could provide a much better way to move people, especially us older folks. It is a scenic wonder of the world.

Journey Behind the Falls is an experience offered by Niagara Parks on the Canadian Side where you…read moredescend 125 feet through bedrock and explore century old tunnels directly behind the horseshoe falls. We purchased the wonder park pass that gave us access to various Niagara Park experiences including Journey Behind the Falls for a two day window. You are given a yellow poncho to wear and then you descend down some stairs where you can view an history exhibit of a journey through time, from the formation of the Falls to the first Indigenous inhabitants and the rise of Niagara Falls as a global tourism destination. After the history exhibit, you descend 125 feet and explore 130-year-old tunnels through the bedrock, where you can feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them. The cave-like portals that open behind the falling water, allow you to see, hear and feel the power of the falls up-close from a unique viewpoint. Then make your way to the lower observation deck at the foot of this 13-storey-tall wonder where you stand just feet away from the mighty Niagara Falls, surrounded by the ancient rock formations carved by centuries of flow. This was such an incredible experience to view Horseshoe falls from the perspective of both behind the bedrock and below the falls. Captures some amazing memories and photos of the experience.

Does not take long. Walk to platform is very short, a little bit longer to get to the two portals…read more In February both portals only showed solid ice. The lower platform was closed. The higher platform was so close to the waterfall!! The employee said he didn't think the ice at the portal views would thaw out til April. Tip- don't buy anything from the private tours, buy directly from Niagara parks and you will save with the Wonder pass. February 2026- Adult ticket for Behind the Falls is $28, wonder pass is $65 and includes power plant $33 and Take Flight $33 and two days of unlimited railway, plus others. So unless you are doing only one activity, get the Wonder pass.

This is time for something completely different! A couple of things - the walk starts at 8:30pm,…read morenot 7:45 or 8 like on an old picture that's posted. Additionally, it starts at 4337, not 4317 Queen St. prices remain the same, though. Our guide, Linda, was prompt at 8:30 for our small group of 8. Others who showed late decided to come another day. Linda is a history buff, but within her close to two-hour tour you learn she grew up in the area. As a young teen in the 70s, she would sneak out with her friends at night to get around the old buildings and spooky ghosts. She, later in life, would then cull a lot of public records and newspaper articles to learn the history of many of the old buildings and the stories about who owned them and who died in them. She then had something to say about each building we walked by. Some now owners don't want anything said, some have had tv shows feature them, and sometimes newer generation family members of those she had talked about on tour have been on the tour. There are some places she will not stand - she'll tell you on the tour why. Unfortunately, a lot of these formerly grand buildings have been abandoned for decades. Overall, Linda likes what she does, and knows what she is talking about. She tells her stories in a pleasant way and was very easygoing. She has been involved with séances, and has run overnight ghost haunts. I'm not so sure I'd be into that kind of thing. Maybe? So there are reported ghosts and sightings and feelings and haunts. Linda believes and will gladly tell you about it. It's cool. $65 Canadian including tip for 3 adults, 1 kid. Kids go to age 13.

Tour date was 6/15. Steve was fantastic, great energy, had a lot of history to share on the falls,…read moreand did a great job keeping the group together. I really like how the folks who organized the tour make it a point to talk to all the folks in the group to try and get to know where everyone is from and a little about the family. It felt personable and not like you're another body on their tour but that they genuinely want to know where their "guests " are from; not just another customer. I would recommend their tour to anyone looking to do one. Maid of the mist was the coolest experience! What a view of all the falls. Would recommend a camera with a handle of some sort. Horseshoe falls was windy and wet! I was worried about dropping my phone. A lot of people start pushing to get to the railing of the ship. Not everyone on the boat is from your tour group. We got on the boat and stood by the side rail of the boat to get the view. My son and I were standing there by ourselves and people start filling in. As you get close to the falls people push you out of the way to try and squeeze in to get their photo. We were literally pushed out of the way. Hence the reason I was worried about dropping my phone. Cave of the winds also an experience but not what I was expecting. Maybe I didn't do my research but, I thought it was something different. The staircase down to the falls was pretty cool, you really get a glimpse of how powerful the falls are. You're right up there next to the American fall, it was very wet and windy. I got a little nervous, if you drop anything, it's gone. Hard to take pictures with hurricane force winds and the amount of water coming at you. Definitely suggest a camera with some sort of a handle or something. Saw a certificate in a gift shop that said I survived the hurricane winds of cave of the winds...had I have known it was going to be what it was I might have chosen not to do this part of the tour. But at the same time it was a pretty cool experience. I have no regrets doing it, just wasn't expecting to get blasted and soaked by the falls!

If I could give a zero, I would!…read more I had the same experience as another customer with this company! When I presented my tickets, I was told that my tickets would not be honored and I would need to purchase new ones! The worst part is that the tickets I purchased by this scam company were $25 more! I paid this trash company almost twice as much! I booked them through Viator and Viator needs to do a better job of vetting their contractors. I have contacted my credit card company, disputing the charge! Do not use this company, at least for Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist boat ride.....go through Maid of the Midst directly!!!! Total disappointment with this company!

They charged $120.00 per person plus hidden gas fee which they did not disclose. The cost to go on the attractions they are getting you on is close to $60.00 per person (Maid of the mist and Cave of Winds). The other attractions on their list cost is $0.00. Also, They said they will give you a 3 to 3 1/2 hour tour, our tour guide left after 1 1/2 hours because the attractions they are taking us to is FREE. It is not worth it. Get to the falls early, get your tickets, enjoy the day and do not spend money on a wasteful expense.

I couldn't see when I was on the boat when it got near the falls because all the water mist was splashing at my eyes/face, it was that powerful. All I Could do was laugh and try to wipe my eyes.

Again one of those must do's while here in Niagara falls. Is…read moreit crowded? Yes but the lines move fast as there are plenty of boats. The provide a poncho (way better than the cave of the winds poncho, if you are doing both, save this one), the poncho of course is to protect you from the water, because that is what poncho's do. You have two choices here. 1) You can stay on the bottom deck of the boat, and I hear you can remain fairly dry, but I cannot attest to that as, you are at Niagara Falls, you should be on the top deck, getting wet! 2) The Top deck, the Upper decker, they have some seating up here, and great views. The boat navigates so that all sides of the boat get equal views of the falls and get to experience the massive mist generated, no it's not raining on you it's the falls. So, don't be one of those pushing into people/groups to get your shot, be patient you will get your turn. Yes there will be people taking selfies for the entire duration or groupies (not sure what its called if its more than 1), Yes they will claim part of the deck for the entire trip, this is easy resolved with a gentle nudge as they enjoy a small quick journey overboard and get the VIP experience. Wait no, don't actually do that, just ask people to move and/or take a picture of you with the falls in the background. Everyone was friendly!

This is a historic site often barely mentioned in passing in guidebooks and brochures for Niagara…read moreFalls, and apparently off the beaten path but not entirely hidden, it's well worth a visit (and free of charge!). Parking is not a concern since the power plant site is adjacent to the Niagara Gorge Discovery Centre/Niagara Gorge Trailhead Building and the parking lot for it. Entering the stone structure, there's a big lift ahead, which will take you right down to the ground level where you're free to explore whatever is left of the once-active power station. Walk a little further down and you'll also get a wide angle view of the Rainbow Bridge and, of course, the grand Niagara River. There are brochures, maps, coupons, and guidebooks for nearby attractions and businesses once you're back up on the upper ground level where you took the lift, and the booklet with black and white pictures about the history of the site and the disaster in 1956 is another treat.
