The Niagara Parks Power Station + The Tunnel is a masterfully restored industrial landmark that blends history, science, and breathtaking scenery. Located in the Falls View neighborhood, this century-old station invites guests to explore the massive generator hall, where interactive exhibits and audio tours detail the genius of Nikola Tesla and the evolution of hydroelectric power. A major highlight is descending 180 feet in a glass elevator to 'The Tunnel,' a 2,200-foot-long passage that leads to a viewing platform at the river's edge. Here, visitors can experience the roar of the water and the mist of the Horseshoe Falls from a perspective few ever see. Whether visiting during the day for the museum or at night for the 'Currents' light show, it offers an unforgettable experience for all ages.
