About this experience
Experience the lesser known stories of daredevils and criminals who've come to the Falls for fame and fortune. 16 times since 1901 people have challenged Niagara in barrels, boats, balls and all kinds of contraptions. Some made it, some did not...but all their fascinating stories are brought to life right here where it happened!
We also will explore some true crime stories exposing the true life crime stories of mobsters who once ran the Falls with an iron fist (and a pinky ring!).
This interactive and fun tour culminates with a fireworks display over Niagara Falls. This tour is perfect for couples and families who are looking for a unique and entertaining way to experience the illumination and fireworks at Niagara.
