Enjoying just one Horseshoe Falls experience is a common mistake among Niagara Falls newbies. While there’s no doubt that taking in the view of the largest and most powerful of the three Niagara Falls from the sidewalk above and walking through its mist is absolutely a must-do activity, that’s just a drop in the bucket! Here are some other can’t-miss Niagara Falls experiences to add to your list.
Niagara City Cruises’ Voyage To The Falls and Falls Fireworks Cruise both take riders on a float to the base of the powerful Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The Falls Fireworks Cruise is a longer, 40-minute experience that takes riders to the base of the illuminated Canadian Horseshoe Falls and allows extra time to take in panoramic views of the nightly Niagara Falls fireworks display from the water.
Journey Behind The Falls treats guests to a backstage view of the bedrock tunnels behind the Horseshoe Falls. After taking an elevator ride 45 metres down, guests can follow the tunnels to viewing portals and observation decks that provide a whole new perspective on the volume of water thundering over the brink!
The Tunnel at The Niagara Parks Power Station boasts yet another truly unique way to take in the splendour of the Horseshoe Falls. After descending 180 feet in a glass-panelled elevator, guests make their way along a 2,200-foot-long tunnel that was originally excavated with only lanterns, rudimentary dynamite, pickaxes and shovels. At the end of the tunnel, guests can step out onto a new observation deck at the edge of the Niagara River, offering a truly incredible view of The Falls.
