  8. Midday

    Niagara Parks Power Station + The Tunnel

    $37.29

    The Tunnel is cold! The signs suggest it was about 15C, and that was in the middle of summer.

    There is a Tesla Coil that goes off every hour around the 0:50 mark and it is loud if you aren't expecting it.

    A now defunct Power Station, with exhibits such as a Tesla Coil demonstration, the Tunnel that leads to a platform with fantastic viewing of the falls, and a history on the science behind hydro delivered via self-guided audio. The first floor takes about an hour to go through, and the Tunnel takes less than 10 minutes to walk, without any stops, to the viewing platform.

    7005 Niagara Parkway, Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6T2
