Reviews of Journey Behind the Falls (Museum)

The Green Thumb Alliance

Great experience and well worth doing if you have the time well down at the falls. Best done on a warm sunny day as you will get wet but that's just part of the experience. Reasonably priced extra to add to your family's trip to the falls

Even though it’s been quite a while since last visited the falls, it definitely did not disappoint but rather enhanced the sense of wonder and extraordinary beauty! And after a brief sun shower, a timely rainbow covered the falls. Park at the Skylon $15/day with optional access to stairs leading to Fallsview Blvd (wooded footpath to street level but not suitable for strollers or young children unless you’re prepared to piggyback:)

It’s the beauty in tunnels.. you can sense the heaviness of water and rocks vibrating inside. The tickets are not so expensive.. adult 15 and kids 10 It’s about 30 min time you may take to spend inside and very much worth seeing. The goodness is this event is open in winters as well..

This was so much fun. We went on a rainy day so there were absolutely no lines and hardly any people nearby. We were able to see the falls from up top whole social distancing because of the rain and then were able to see everything down below with no one near us. The price is quite fair for what you are able to see. It is about a 45min - 1 hour experience and you do not need to pre-purchase tickets. The counter to purchase is inside the building at the falls and the entrance to Journey Behind the falls is right beside it. We travelled down to the main level where you are behind the falls and were amazed at how close we were to the water. The barriers clearly have been moved back due to erosion, but it still is exhilarating. Down on the lower level, you can go outside and see the falls. You will get soaked from the spray the falls give off, so make sure to have the complimentary poncho on and have shoes for getting wet. Afterwards you are able to purchase a photo of your group, which we did. It was relatively reasonable considering you get a digital file. The only thing missing was specific Journey Behind the Falls merchandise in the gift shop. I'd love a Journey Behind the Falls magnet or keychain.

Great experience. The best part was the look out point just before going into the tunnel underneath the falls. Also i would suggest taking the time to read the history on the walls. That was worth the cost of a ticket right there.

There’s really only one thing to do there but see the falls up close but let’s be real, the view is well worth it. Directions: On the east end of the building you’ll find a kiosk that will lead you down to the elevators where you’re given your ponchos. Once behind the falls you have the option to walk around the tunnels and see through the waterfall or head right to the observation deck. The falls spray mist but you won’t get too, too wet.

Awesome views of the Niagara Falls. I definitely recommend you visit the Canada side rather than the U.S because it gives you more to do and better views. I enjoyed going down to the tunnels that take you directly behind the waterfalls for a great view right next to the waterfall.

I honestly Love Love Love this place. Went in December 2020. Best experience and due the virus not much ppl were there. I would love to return soon. …

Moses Gonsalves

Amazing experience! You got to really feel the power behind the falls and take in its full beauty up close. Be prepared to get wet tho, luckily they give you rain coat to help with your clothes but your shoes are gonna get wet for sure!

Hugo Lopez

Incredible! Must do if you want to experience Niagara from all possible angles, the power of the falls is felt in a totally different way from here. We bought the tickets online, made it quicker. There's toilettes at the entrance and a gift shop at the exit. You get there through the Welcome Center. The photo they took of us is great and you get a digital copy as well.

Camil Noun-Poisson

Beautiful and super worth it. You take an elevator going down leading you to tunnels that were built to show you the "inside" of the falls. The observatory on the outside has an amazing view of the falls. Highly recommend going through this attraction if you're visiting the falls.

Larissa Lio

Absolutely amazing experience! Tickets are pricey but was worth the experience. MAKE SURE you have water proof shoes on (like Vessi’s) you will get soaked, your shoes will be drenched, you will look like you took a shower, but you will be super happy.

Justin Shaw

THE BEST way to see the falls. Right up close and feel and really feel the mist, and truly hear the might of the fall. I was able to grab some of the best, most picturesque shots here. Would definitely recommend this as your 2nd stop after seeing the falls from up top.

Sean Faison

Very cool to get this view of the falls. On this day the falls really drenched us. They provide ponchos but they will do nothing if you are wearing pants. I recommend wearing shorts and shoes that can handle puddles and heavy rain. The …

Milad Mokhtari

Going to Niagara and not trying this would be such a vain. Spectacular view either from the tunnels beneath the falls or from the its side. The drops of water from the fall tickling your skin is just priceless.

Vỹ Nguyễn

The two tunnels extend approximately 46 metres behind the waterfall and allow visitors to view water cascading in front of the open cave entrances. Earlier in the attraction's history visitors were permitted far closer to the portals' edge, …

Sarvarth Bhatnagar

Must go! I had a baby carrier and used one poncho to cover both of us by stretching it a little bit. However I got an extra poncho from them just in case. Guess, it was a good call!! I wrapped that poncho on him like a 'dhoti'.He had so much fun after that and was still all dry after we came back. Also, if possible go in slippers or bare foot. I parked my shoe in a small side cave before entering! It's a rain dance in there so be prepared ????

You feel the power of the water as it spills over you!

Rebecca Pinto

Such a beautiful experience. Definitely something to do that's worth while.

Matthew Shutt

Such a great experience! The sound of the falls travels through the stone into the tunnels. You can feel the power of the falls right above you. Seeing the falls from back side is surreal. When you go to the lower viewing platform you can’t help but be in awe of the majesty. Makes sense why they call it a great wonder of the world!!

Kushal Agarwal

The journey behind the falls was an amazing experience, it is so spectacular to see the falls up close (the edge of the falls is just about 10ft from the observation area). Due to COVID restrictions, there were only a handful of people at a time, so it was awesome opportunity to really enjoy the view. You really can't see much from the 2 portals, but rather they provide a glimpse of the raw power of the falls. Definitely worth the visit.

Charles Kaiser

This is a great adventure for families with kids. You actually get to venture down and behind Niagara Falls. There is a bit of walking involved, and the going can be slippery. A brilliant diversion on a hot day, and if it is windy you will …

Steven

How have I not done this before? I’ve been going to Niagara for 25 years and just finally done it. If you are in the area don’t miss it

Kavita Ram

This was a pretty incredible experience. The tunnels offer different bits of history and information about the falls. Seeing the falls upclose was amazing. Listening to and watching the power of the water was definitely an experience.

Jason Lessard

I have been to Niagara Falls numerous times and wanted to do this tour. Finally got a chance and it did not disappoint. With numerous facts on the wall while venturing through the tunnel and the observation deck at the end my son and I had a great time. Would definitely recommend trying this adventure if you have a chance.

Family Room

What a cool experience!!! We loved every minute of this experience. First, you get to walk through underground tunnels behind the falls, then you get to see the falls (from behind)... Then you can hear, see and feel the full roar of the falls from the observation deck below. Wow!!! We are definitely doing this again.

Rob Warkentin

An amazing place to see just how majestic the falls are. You will spend some time in line as the tunnels are small and the two viewpoint petals behind the falls are small but well worth it. There are plenty of signs to read in the tunnel that are very informative. Then there is the viewpoint at the edge of the falls. Wow!! So amazing. Definitely worth the waiting to see this in person

Disha Chhadva

An absolute must visit when you go to Niagara!! U buy the passes, they click a picture, give you the rain covers ( to protect you from getting wet). The observatory is amazing, experiencing the falls from so close, the massiveness of the …

Lorelei Petry

Just incredible to stand so close to Horseshoe Falls! It was nice going behind the Falls as well and feeling the force of the water crashing down. I can't imagine how the poor 7 year old boy that went over the falls and survived felt! …

Joseph “Joey” Donovan

An incredible experience! Tour deep behind the falls and explore tunnels and passageways while hearing the roar of the falls. There are a few viewing points to get a peek outside and then one platform where you can really get up close and personal. Be sure to keep your poncho on (it is wet)! The tunnels are wide but not huge so someone who is very claustrophobic might be uncomfortable. However, most should be okay.

Omer R

Definitely worth the visit. I live in Mississauga and can’t believe I had never done this before. You really feel the power of the falls when you stand next to it. Money spent well!

Philippe Gagné

For the price (25$/ person) Journey behind the fall is NOT a must according to me. It takes 20 minutes to complete and the view is not that impressive. I thought we had a better view of the fall up on the side walk. I don’t regret doing it but I would not recommend.

Tim O'Sullivan

We really enjoyed this attraction! There are tunnels that are behind the falls, and you get to see various 'portals' to see the millions of gallons of water flowing over. In addition to this is a viewing area which gets you about as close to the falls on dry land that you can get. From this vantage point, the roar of the falls is amazing! You do get a poncho as it can get very wet there! Highly recommended if you want to 'up close and personal' to the falls and get sea sick like me.

Yasmin Jimenez

This attraction was pretty cool. The actual behind the falls was just very surreal because at some point you have a sudden realization about the sheer force of water that is barreling down above the tunnel you’re standing in and you wonder …

Poutine Spots

Spectacular attraction hasn't missing at Niagara Falls !! Seeing the falls differently !! You will never be closer the falls like this place !!

Rabbiha Alagabi

Would totally recommend for everyone to do this at least once in their life! The experience is so amazing and allows you to appreciate the falls to a higher extent. Great opportunity for very nice pictures. Can be cold but still worth it if you are dressed warmly.

Silvi E

What an amazing experience!! You can see and feel the the power of falls.The thunderous roar of the falls is overwhelming. It's the money. Being right behind the falls and directly next to them is incredible. This is yet another way to experience is amazing wonder of the world

L Cla

Fantastic way to see the falls. Up close and personal. The tunnel has panels for more information about the tunnel and the falls. If you were expecting to see the back, back of the falls... You might be disappointed but at the same time, how much would you really see. I believe the "behind"/side is perfectly acceptable. The platform decks are in a way the best view compared to the back. Plus you get to see where you were standing "behind the falls". It's a thing to experience and not one to describe. Worth the trip and worth to get wet for.

Vraj Savalia

Best ever experience of Niagra falls. Better view than top and more closeup to the falls.

AZ

The idea of walking behind the falls is cool but it’s not worth the money. The tunnel walk is short and you don’t actually get to see anything from the two windows! The only enjoyable part is the side view of the waterfalls since you’re very close to the water but definitely not worth the money.

KATS Online

Such an amazing experience. Everyone should try this at least once during your visit to Niagara Falls, ON

Kelly Burke

I'd gone to Niagara Falls several times and was interested in taking this excursion. It was such a lovely experience. There's definitely something worthwhile to do.

Steven Lamothe

It’s a fun experience but it’s also quite pricey to just walk around closer to the falls. You don’t get that wet unless it’s a windy day and you can stay as long as you’d like. The views are spectacular but the two tunnels on the right side don’t offer much of a view.

ryley bauer

Put up a sign that says we need to go downstairs to the front desk to print off our online passes that say "redeem AT any attraction." We waited 25 mins in line literally second in line, only for the staff to stare at us without lanyards the whole time and THEN told us we needed them once they declined us entry for the Showtime once they opened the gate.

Amber Rozsa

The wait was long but it was worth it. You get a great view and get misted on as well. The tunnel was a little sketchy but it had facts on the wall about Niagara falls.

Tiffani Blevins

This is literally a journey behind Niagara Falls. It is like being in a cave. Very cool information on the falls and how it came to be. There was a lot of signs with the history of the falls and how it came to be. the walkway is a little …

Mo Mo

A unique magical slightly misty experience directly behind one of the most magnificent falls in the world. The experience starts indoors with an illustrated history and old photos. You then take a lift down and walk along about 100-200m to the open part of the experience where you can see the falls drop right next to you. It is very wet so wear very sensible shoes. You'll also have the chance to go down a flight of stairs to get closer. There is a large tunnel which takes you to two spots directly behind the falls where you can see it gush in front of you. Superb and fun experience

April Begley

Loved this experience... only problem was it felt rushed going through the tunnel ... but the views were amazing

joshua lopez

Breathtaking scenery and a wonderful experience. Buy your pass online and save more money. You have the opportunity buy a wonder pass for $25 and you'll have access to three attractions. Journey behind the falls, butterfly conservatory, fury of the falls.

Selina Schmidt

The walk down the tunnels was not the highlight. There are some cool facts along the way way, but you really cant see anything outside the windows down there, just a wall of water. The highlight is definitely the lookout just to the side of the falls. Great views, really a "have to experience it for yourself" location!
