Niagara's Fury

Right near the Canadian Horseshoe Falls is Table Rock, which is the main tourist building for all things Niagara Falls related.  In the building itself, a new attraction built in 2008 allows visitors to "experience" the creation of Niagara Falls.

To start the show, you'll meet some woodland characters who teach you in a humorous way how Niagara Falls was created started in the last Ice Age.  From there, you'll walk into a 360 degree theater where you witness the creation of the falls reduced to a few minutes.  You'll feel the wind, power and water during the show and a poncho is definitely needed (and freely provided!).  

We really didn't know what to expect heading into this unique experience, but we came out of it with smiles on our face and our ponchos thoroughly drenched!

If you're considering doing this attraction as well as the other popular ones in the area, I'd highly recommend getting the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass to save a few bucks.  It combines the price of this attraction, the Maid of the Mist, the White Water Walk and Journey Behind The Falls all into one.

Journey Behind The Falls

Want to experience the true power of Niagara Falls?  Well, this is about as close as you can get.  The "Journey Behind The Falls" attraction allows you to enter into caves with exits that go right behind the falls.  The sheer power you'll feel is quite extraordinary.  However, the best views are had when you walk just to the side of the falls.  

From here, you'll get a great view, as shown below, of the Canadian Horseshoe falls.  From the second you exit the doorway, you'll feel the mist hitting you, and as you get closer to the falls, it'll feel more like you're in a storm than anything else.  

The free ponchos that are provided are a must-need (unless you want to get soaked).  You should also make sure you take either a water proof camera or secure it in a way so that it won't get wet if you want to continue taking photos on your trip.

If you're considering doing this attraction as well as the other popular ones in the area, I'd highly recommend getting the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass to save a few bucks.  It combines the price of this attraction, the Maid of the Mist, the White Water Walk and Niagara's Fury all into one.
