The two outdoor observation decks and two portals placed right behind the Falls are accessible after descending 45 metres (150 feet) by lift to a location where a brief tunnel is located. One-fifth of the world's pure water pours down to the basin below in an amazing display at Journey Behind the Falls. Every second during the summertime, at a speed of 65 kilometres per hour, more than 2,800 cubic metres of water thunder over the edge!

Located on the Niagara River, which empties Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America with a vertical drop of more than 50 metres (160 feet). You can walk right up to one of North America's most impressive waterfalls and feel the spray of the river on your face.

Your Niagara Helicopters flight is a singular and breathtaking experience, from the thrill of lift-off to the adrenaline of soaring above the furious rapids and tumbling waterfalls. You get an exciting perspective of Niagara's natural and man-made treasures during the entire scenic trip.

Fresh baguettes, mixed garden salads, seafood salads, roast beef au jus, fresh salmon, poultry, roast potatoes, fresh veggies, excellent cheese, fruit salads, cakes, pastries, and much more are available with a view of the falls.
