About This Experience

Explore the power station’s 2,200-foot-long underground tunnel before witnessing the breathtaking Horseshoe Falls illuminated at night from an observation platform …

Who It Suits and What to Know

Niagara Parks’ evening admission, sold through GetYourGuide: the generator hall lit after dark, the Currents light and sound show running on a loop, the 2,200-foot tunnel and the illuminated Horseshoe Falls from the observation platform at the river’s edge. Rated 4.5 from 177 reviews. You enter at the time you choose and explore at your own pace; about an hour and a half covers the show, the hall and the tunnel.

The night ticket is the one to pick when the falls lit up matter more than daylight on the gorge.

Who it suits: couples and families who have seen the falls by day and want something for the evening, and anyone who prefers the hall with the show and the lighting. Who should look elsewhere: visitors who want daylight on the falls from the tunnel deck, which the day ticket gives, and anyone wanting dinner and transport arranged, which the evening dinner tour covers.

What to know before you book:

  • Included. Night entry to the Power Station, the Currents show in the generator hall, the tunnel and the river-level platform.

  • Not included. A guided tour, food and drink.
  • Children. 2 and under go free with a paying adult.
  • Bring. ID, comfortable shoes and clothes for the weather; the deck at the river catches spray.
