Our first trip on the Skywheel was Summer 07. One thing to say was - WOW what a view! This wheel is very large so if you are afraid of heights, this is not the thing for you.
My wife, who is not usually afraid of heights wanted to get off.

Maybe it was the fact that we were moving and not stationary, I dont know. Give it a whirl, it is a lot of fun! I’ll be adding pictures of the wheel that we toook soon.

Be ready to feel your heart pound with awe as you hear and feel the thunder of the falls while you stand so close you can feel the amazing rush as the falls roar and the mist hits your face.

A trip to the falls during the winter months can be a magical journey as well, as you we be able to view the ice formations caused by the falls freezing in certain areas. It is so beautiful it can’t be described.

The Journey Behind the Falls is open all year long excluding Christmas Day. During spring and summer the fees are: $12 per adult,$7.20 per child. Winter rates are lower as the lower observation deck is unaccessible due to ice. The fees are: $9 per Adult, $7.20. An adults is anyone 13 years and up. The fee for children 5 and under is FREE. Jouney Behind the Falls is located in Niagara Falls Canada at the Table Rock area near the horseshoe falls.

The fee for your journey pays for a 30-45 tour and a complimentary poncho to take as a souvenir after keeping you partially dry from the mist of the falls. The ponchos are only supplied in the summer and spring tours.

Another experience the power project offers is learning about how water is diverted from the Niagara River and used to produce electricity. You can take a break on the Observation Deck to get a look for yourself after viewing the demonstration terrain map.

The Power Vista offers group presentations for grades Pre-K – 12TH. They offer information on geology, history, electricity, and technology. There are specific grade level presentations also available.

At the end of all programs you are “shocked” by taking part in a demonstration using the Van De Graaf generator making your hair stand straight up!

Many people like to view the newly restored 7ft high mural of a scene from the 17th century of the Priest known as Father Lois Hennepin viewing the Niagara Falls with a group of Native Americans.

So stop by to be electrified and enjoy the Power Vista - the power project is open daily year round 9am to 5pm during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
