Niagara Parks: Falls Tunnel Experience & Power Station Entry
About This Experience
Niagara Parks' own admission to the Power Station, by day or at night: the generator hall and its exhibits, the glass elevator 180 feet down, the 2,200-foot tunnel and the observation deck at the river, with a poncho and the free audio guide.
Who It Suits and What to Know
Niagara Parks’ own admission to the Power Station and The Tunnel, sold through GetYourGuide: you walk the restored generator hall, ride a glass-panelled elevator 180 feet down, follow the 2,200-foot tailrace tunnel and step out onto the observation deck at the river’s edge below the Horseshoe Falls. Rated 4.7 from 302 reviews. It is self-guided, with a free audio guide, and about two hours is enough for the hall and the tunnel.
Who it suits: anyone on the Canadian side who wants the station and the tunnel at their own pace, by day, or by night if you pick the nighttime option with the Currents show. Who should look elsewhere: visitors who want a guide to tell the story, who are better served by the Skylon and Power Station guided walk, and anyone set on the boat or Journey Behind the Falls, which this ticket does not include.
