• Cave of the Winds
  

  
  The Cave of the Winds was a natural cave behind Bridal Veil Falls. It was obliterated in a massive 1954 rockfall. Today, the "Cave of the Winds" is a tourist attraction near the same site. An elevator takes people down to the level of the Niagara River at the base of the American Falls. A series of redwood decks and platforms allow sightseers to walk right up to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls with water crashing down right on them and flowing beneath the decking.
  
  

• Journey Behind the Falls
  

  
  Journey consists of an observation platform and series of tunnels near the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side. The two tunnels extend approximately 45 m (150 ft) behind the waterfall and allow visitors to view water cascading in front of the open cave entrances.

• Niagara Daredevil Exhibit
  

  
  The Daredevil gallery at IMAX is the only collection of the original daredevil barrels. Be amazed at the fragility of the contraptions that actually took people over the brink. See and touch the actual barrels, spheres and chambers of death that carried the 16 daredevils who have challenged the falls. The first one, in 1901, was a woman, 63-year-old Annie Taylor. She went over the falls in a barrel as a publicity stunt; she survived, bleeding, but virtually unharmed.
