JOURNEY
BEHIND THE FALLS
In 1889, the Niagara Parks Commission decided to build
a tunnel through the rock to exit well behind the Falls.
Visitors were taken through the tunnel by guides carrying
lanterns. In 1951, work began on an observation plaza
located at the end of a branch of the old tunnel where
a small outlook had been located. In 1993/1994, major
renovations were carried out on the elevators and in
1994 to more graphically describe this attraction, the
name was changed from Table Rock Scenic Tunnels to Journey
Behind the Falls.
An elevator takes you down to a
thunderous up close view of Niagara Falls. Journey behind
the Falls now boasts two elevators that descend 125
ft. with about 46 metres (150 ft.) of tunnel burrowing
behind the great sheet of Niagara Falls. This behind
the scenes look at the Falls is an attraction not to
miss. Open Year Round.
