Overview
- Phase 1, running to spring 2027, will restore a stabilized, fully accessible tunnel leading to a new heated, covered year-round viewing platform.
- The crane will be placed north of Table Rock Centre on March 23 and is scheduled to remain until April 2027, temporarily altering skyline views.
- Phase 2 will fully reconstruct the aging Rainbow viewing platform to meet modern safety standards, with overall project completion targeted for May 2028.
- Niagara Parks says the restored tunnel and secondary platform will allow Journey Behind the Falls to remain open during the Rainbow platform rebuild.
- The redevelopment repurposes hydroelectric infrastructure and aligns with Ontario’s Destination Niagara Strategy to strengthen tourism.
