Journey Behind the Falls

Parks on both sides of the border offer views of the Falls, but the Canadian side lets kids literally walk into them. A series of tunnels that were originally built in 1889 have been upgraded and reinforced with concrete to create a one-of-a-kind Falls viewing experience that allows visitors to hear and "feel" the thunderous waters through viewing portals and open-air (but safety-bar barricaded) lookout spots inside the tunnels.

Your kids will tell you "It's so awesome!" but the roar is so loud underground you probably won't hear them -- judge by the awe-filled stare they'll sport instead.
