About the Location

"If you build it, they will come"

The Table Rock Welcome Centre is the welcoming location of Niagara Parks and is well-known for its close proximity to the Niagara Falls. This building has been a prominent location for visitors of Niagara Falls for decades. This historical building has undergone many renovations and transformed to attract more visitors each year. Table Rock offers fast casual food, gift shops, the Journey Behind the Falls attraction, the Niagara's Fury attraction, and the famous restaurant overlooking the Niagara Falls. This heritage building continues to be a welcoming location for many and leave visitors in awe by the views of the Niagara Falls.

Movies filmed in this location include Niagara (1953), Superman II (1980), and Fever Pitch (2005). Niagara stars Marilyn Monroe, which is a noir-thriller film about a couple who visit Niagara Falls and experience tensions that lead to murder. Monroe's famous 'walk scene' was shot in Niagara Falls at Table Rock. Superman II stars Christopher Reed, Margot Kidder, and Gene Heckman. The Table Rock Welcome Center was the location where majority of the Superman II movie was filmed. Fever Pitch stars Drew Barrymore and Late-Night host, Jimmy Fallon. The two are spotted along the Niagara Parkway at Table Rock admiring the waterfall and being playful while taking photographs of one another.

Recreational Features

The Table Rock Welcome Centre is steps away from the Niagara Parkway and overlooks the Niagara Falls.
