Why you should go…

An elevator drops you deep into 130-year-old tunnels that open directly behind the crashing wall of Horseshoe Falls, with observation decks at its very base. Feeling one-fifth of the world's fresh water pound past you is a bucket-list rush no photo prepares you for. It's open year-round, the frozen winter version is pure magic.
