Niagara Falls: more than just a waterfall!
Kick off your Niagara Falls tour begins atop the Skylon Tower and the sky-deck with a bird’s-eye view of the waterfalls. Observe the Niagara Parks Power Station humming below and the International Control Dam guiding the fall waters to a sharp 180 feet drop, down the Niagara Gorge. Walk out of the 2200 foot-long Tailrace Tunnel to unique views of the Horseshoe Falls on the observation deck. Don’t forget to stop at the Illumination Tower offering a glittering light show every night, as you move ahead to the historic statue of Nikola Tesla.
Niagara Falls and hydroelectricity: a story for the ages
Gain insight into the story of Nikola Tesla and The Current War, and how Niagara Falls shaped the outcome. Next, approach the Niagara Parks Power Station – the first ever hydroelectric power plant, where you can now train hands-on with the original machinery! Descend 180 feet in glass to the base of Niagara Falls and marvel at the power plant structure excavated a 100 years ago with only dynamite and pickaxes. End the tour with a walk through the Tailrace Tunnel onto the viewing deck — the exit point for the water into the Niagara River for over a century! Your reward? — unparalleled views of both the Horseshoe and American Falls.
