Absolutely beautiful.  The views are breathtaking.  The river is unbelievably fast and powerful.
The price is reasonable, the elevator is pretty quick, and the tunnel to the river is not too long.
There is a snack cart at the base and 2 vending machines.
There are a good number of photos and signs with historic facts, geography info, water details, etc.  There is I formation on wildlife, fish, daredevils, and the train that used to go through the canyon.

We came here at the end of October and got to see the fall colors🤩 This was included in our 2 day pass at Niagara Falls. The walk was beautiful and the river was mesmerizing. I found the information about the history of the river to be insightful.

I found this a great way to experience the power of the falls close-up in a relaxing setting with a nice boardwalk to walk down. There are other free ways of getting a great view of the whirlpools but they all involve a hike. Parking is free with admission which is great.

Great, it's so nice and offers some good views of the falls from low. also very misty

It was one of our adventures while in Niagara for my wife’s birthday and it was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn’t already tried it.

So much fun! Depends on the company you bring and the time of year you come, but it was an amazing experience! It was so nice to get so close to the falls and well worth the long wait in line and the far travel you have to go to get to it!

Niagara City Cruises

Departing from Niagara Falls, Canada - on the Hornblower you will ride into the mist of Niagara Falls on this unforgettable boat ride experience and get as close as possible to the rushing waterfalls. 

A trip to Niagara Falls is not complete without a signature ride on the Niagara City Cruises boat cruise (formerly operated by Maid of the Mist). Whether you’re traveling with family, your significant other or with friends, this famous Niagara Falls boat ride is a “must do” while visiting the area. Experience the refreshing mist on your skin as you take a  20-minute magical ride along the Niagara River. Niagara City Cruises departs from the Canadian side of the Falls and passes by the American Falls, Canadian Horseshoe Falls and Great Gorge. Thanks to our classic Canadian winters, this cruise operates seasonally. While exact dates vary annually, it typically runs from April or May until late November. 

Great activity. To do at least once. Very impressive to go so close to the falls.

As a family the adventure was a lot of fun. You get a true impression of how powerful the falls can be.

Avoid to visit in winter months because of foggy weather you can not enjoy fall's view.

Journey Behind the Falls

At Journey Behind the Falls, you’ll descend about 125 ft. (approximately 40 m) to explore cave-like tunnels leading to two observation decks that are over 130 years old behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

I didn't think I had to go up there, but when I did, it was nice. It was fun to go up by elevator, and the view was nice from there. If you do well, you can also see the CN Tower and Rogers Center Dome.

You may be able to purchase tickets on site. The ticket that went up but came back was $19 + tax.

Quite possibly the most iconic tower in the Niagara area. It’s been years since I’ve been up there but it’s on my to do list the next time I visit.

Reserved dinner at the revolving restaurant, so the observation deck was included in the price.
Beautiful dinner with fabulous staff.
June and Georgio were our servers for the evening and we're a pleasure to have.
Thank you.

Went to the observation deck. You’ll see Niagara Falls ,  the city and surrounding area . Not sure if it worth it or not but I was not amazed . Anyways I recliner if you still want to go to visit during nighttime, nicer view with the lights .  Also it’s better if you have binoculars to see around the city and the falls . The observation deck has outdoor deck too .

Great views but the location is rundown and definitely needs a renovation. Felt like a tourist trap which is sad because it offers an amazing view to both water falls

Niagara Falls Skylon Tower

Skylon Tower

The Skylon Tower offers an impressive birds-eye-view of both the American and Canadian sides of Niagara Falls and surrounding areas. 
Skylon Tower stands at 520 ft. (160m) above street level and 775 ft. (236m) above the base of the Falls. Talk about a bird’s eye view, eh?! To get to the top, guests will ride in their iconic “yellow bug” glass elevators to take in a view of the falls while heading up the tower. From the tower’s Observation Deck, you’ll be able to get an outstanding view of the Falls, admire the beautiful cityscape around the Niagara Gorge as well as take in the picturesque skyline. If you choose one of the tours that provides lunch at the Skylon, during the winter months you’ll enjoy a meal at the Summit Suite Buffet. During the summer months you’ll enjoy a meal in the Revolving Dining Room Restaurant. Both experiences offer a variety of delicious food options and a spectacular view of the Falls while you dine. In addition to the restaurants and observation decks, the Skylon Tower features gift shops, souvenir photos and even has an arcade in the basement.
