Once you've seen the falls from below and behind, consider seeing them from above at the Skylon Tower. Visiting the attraction with a guided tour group is another way to avoid the constant congestion.
To avoid crowds and enjoy the view in peace, reviewers suggest getting to the attraction when it opens at 10 a.m. Recent visitors highly recommended the Journey Behind the Falls, even if you've already gone on a Maid of the Mist tour, as this attraction offers yet another interesting perspective of the falls. However, be prepared for crowds – Journey Behind the Falls is one of the most popular ways to see the falls, so you may find that the tunnels are rather cramped. From there, follow the caverns and enjoy the roaring curtain of the falls from a different perspective. The tour begins with an elevator ride to an observation deck where you can take in the view of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the Niagara River. On the Journey Behind the Falls, you'll be able to stand directly behind the roaring sheet of water and get a literal behind-the-scenes peek at this magnificent natural attraction.
