Who It Suits and What to Know
A three-hour guided walking tour by Walks Canada that starts at the Skylon Tower and ends at the Niagara Parks Power Station: the tower’s observation deck, the daredevil barrels exhibit, the Illumination Tower and the Tesla statue on the way, then an hour in the station and an hour in The Tunnel. Rated 4.5 from 124 reviews. Your guide carries the tickets, so you skip both ticket lines.
Who it suits: visitors who want the hydro story told, from Edison and Tesla’s War of the Currents to the station’s tunnel, and who want the tower and the station on one ticket. Who should look elsewhere: wheelchair users and families with strollers, since the walk is not suitable for either, and anyone who only wants the station, which costs less on its own.
