The Table Rock Welcome Centre (also known as Table Rock Center and, previously, Table Rock House) is a retail and observation complex located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada at the brink of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, several hundred feet south of the former rock formation which bears its name. The complex consists of two buildings connected by a indoor pedestrian mall and anchored by "The Grand Hall", a multi-level indoor observation complex, completed in 2008.

The north building, originally constructed in 1926, houses a first-floor retail store and the Welcome Centre, Niagara's Fury, a whitewater simulation, plus the ticket offices for the Journey Behind the Falls attraction. The upper level contains multiple specialty stores, a currency exchange, and additional outdoor observation plaza. The south building, constructed in 1974, has a first-floor fast food snack bar, additional retail space, and a second-floor, semi-formal restaurant overlooking the Horseshoe Falls and the upper Niagara River.

Owned and operated by the Niagara Parks Commission, Table Rock Centre provides the best direct path from the Horseshoe Falls observation area to the Falls Incline Railway (courtesy of a new bridge constructed in 2008 spanning the Niagara Parkway), which transports passengers to the Fallsview Tourist area above the Niagara Escarpment.

  • Um, does this mall have a name? ~Sacred Silver Sharpener
  • It's called "Table Rock", named after the slab of rock that once jutted out over the edge, but which has long since crumbled away.
