Niagara Parks is investing in significant improvements at its flagship attraction, Journey Behind the Falls, to transform the site into a year-round guest experience.

The phased updates will include restoring a historic tunnel to expand the tunnel network, building a new, year‑round viewing platform and replacing the existing Rainbow viewing platform.

Phase one of the redevelopment introduces a new stabilized, fully accessible tunnel leading to a brand-new heated and covered viewing platform that will expand capacity, reduce congestion and deliver an elevated year-round experience for guests.

Crews will mobilize to the site on March 23, and a crane will be placed just north of Table Rock Centre to facilitate construction within the gorge. The crane will be in place until April 2027.

Additionally, the current Rainbow Platform, a key viewing area at Journey Behind the Falls that offers guests the experience of standing at the base of the falls is nearing the end of its life cycle.

Phase two of the redevelopment includes a complete reconstruction of the platform to meet modern safety standards. The restored tunnel and new secondary viewing platform from Phase 1 will allow the attraction to remain open during construction on the Rainbow Platform.

Phase 2 is expected to be completed by May 2028.
