Description

Book your official ticket to Niagara Park's Power Station & descend 180 feet below Niagara Falls in a glass elevator to the Tailrace Tunnel, a new 2,200-foot-long underground experience leading to unmissable views of the mighty Horseshoe Falls.
From the most towering turbine to the tiniest detail, uncover fascinating stories hidden within the historic Niagara Parks Power Station, a new must-see attraction. Explore the first major power plant on the Canadian side of the Niagara River with immersive exhibits, restored artifacts and interactive storytelling.

After exploring the Power Station halls, descend 180 feet in a glass-paneled elevator and explore the 2,200-foot long tunnel, leading to an observation deck at the river's edge. Find out how this remarkable tunnel was excavated with only lanterns, rudimentary dynamite, pickaxes and shovels. Then, step out onto a new observation deck at the river's edge.

This not-to-be-missed experience offers an opportunity to be part of a thrilling revival, and a chance to discover the incredible history and heritage of this celebrated building. Dive into the history of the visionaries behind it as well as the workers that kept it running for 100 years. Harnessing the powerful energy of the Horseshoe Falls, this pioneer of hydropower comes back to life with entertaining and educational experience that highlights both the remarkable history and unique architectural features of this 115-year-old engineering marvel. All generator hall exhibits are sponsored by Ontario Power Generation.

Repurposed artifacts, interactive exhibits and fascinating installations offer a first-hand look at how this hydropower pioneer harnessed the power of water to generate electricity for 100 years. You’ll “follow the flow” up close with a scale model of the plant, walk through a life-size penstock, test your hydropower knowledge at our interactive control panel, and more!

Please note that the tunnel is a self-guided experience only. Guests can explore the Power Station and Tunnel as long as they see fit within the opening hours of the attraction. There may be a line to access the elevator descending to the tunnel as it is accessible on a first come first serve basis. Please note it is roughly a 10-15 minute walk to reach the observation deck at the edge of the tunnel. We recommend planning for a two-hour experience if you wish to explore the Tunnel during your visit to the power station.
