In the winter we make a special itinerary that includes the options of one or both of the Journey Behind the Falls or Niagara's Fury attractions. Journey Behind the Falls lets you experience the 130-year-old tunnels beneath the bedrock of the Falls and get a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s freshwater crashing down in front of you. With Niagara's Fury, you'll step inside a 4D motion theatre and discover the ancient story of Niagara Falls in this multi-sensory simulation of the last Ice Age.
