Viewing area outside nice and wet and you really get a sense of how big and powerfull the falls are. It's really the closest you can get to the falls. The peep holes are not worth the wait or the walk. You have to wait a while for elevators and the lady who was in charge of our elevator was... more

Journey Behind The Falls Ho, hum. If you miss the Journey Behind The Falls, don’t worry about it. The Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist on the American side are a much better value for your money. We decided to check this out anyway. The lines were long and after an elevator ride to the bottom,... more

This was a HUGE waste of time.for us and we didn't get to take the "journey" at all.. When we arrived at the entrance and attempted to exchange our Adventure Pass ticket for a Journey ticket we were informed that the attraction was closed because one of the elevators was not operating. They were still admitting people on the other... more

This attraction was included in our Niagara Parks Adventure Pass, and having read the reviews here prior to our trip, I wasn't expecting much. But, since it was included in the pass, we gave it a try. I'm happy to say, we really liked this, even though the lines were the longest we waited in at any Niagara attraction. If... more

Included in the combo pass, this attraction pleased our kids because they wanted to hear the Falls from behind and wanted to get wet. We wanted to do Cave of the Winds but the wait was two and a half hours! Like in other Niagara attractions, they process the crowds efficiently and courteously. But there was nothing but promotional videos... more

As other reviewers have noted, this is something of an (expensive) disappointment after other experiences in the Niagara region. Visitors descend in an elevator to a series of passageways that leads to portals behind the falls, and an outside area that's right next to one end of the Horseshoe Falls. Only the outside landing is worth spending any time on... more

I truly believe that no other attraction on the Canadian side of the Falls allows you to feel the power of the waterfall like Journey Behind the Falls. The last time I went was in April, and yes, parts of it were closed due to ice, but the photos I was able to get on the observation platform that I... more

I dont know why this attraction is getting such bad reviews. It is another perspective of the falls and we thought it was great. It is cold and a little wet but to be so close to the falls and hear the thundering roar of the water as it comes over the falls was great. The concrete hallways feel a... more

Upon entering the attraction we paid our fee and was put in a lift by friendly staff to begin our decent to the bottom of the falls. Upon getting to the bottom we had to walk down passages where we saw just two holes with water gushing past them. We felt a little disappointed as we was expecting a little... more

Don't waste your time! What a ripoff, we went in March and due to the weather they closed one section of the viewing area, so they lowered the price and took three dollars off... well what they should do is not charge anything, it's a waste of time, not much to see at all. You get to go through these... more
