What to expect
The Skylon Tower: Niagara from 775 feet
You'll start at the top, riding the Skylon Tower to a deck 775 feet above the falls. From here both the Canadian and American Falls open out below, with the Niagara River winding away and, on a clear day, the Toronto skyline on the horizon. Your guide points out the landmarks and the engineering that shaped the whole gorge.
Daredevils and the walk to the water
Back at ground level, the 2025 Daredevils Exhibit tells the stories of the people who went over the falls, with the real barrels they used on display. Then you'll walk about a kilometer of boardwalk with your guide, past Queen Victoria Place and its royal ties and the Illumination Tower that lights the falls each night. The stories, including how Niagara made its name for ice wine, fill the walk between photo stops.
From the Skylon deck you see how big this all is. Three hours later you're standing behind the water feeling it in your chest. That contrast is the whole tour.

"People line up an hour for Journey Behind the Falls. I hand them a timed ticket and we walk right in. Their faces when they realize we're skipping it all."
