For the first time, you can get so close to Niagara Falls, that you can actually feel them. A century-old tunnel, 180 feet below takes you to an underground world and a view like never before.

The Tunnel

The Tunnel is a new attraction beneath the historic Niagara Parks Power Station, 180 feet below. To get there, you'll descend nearly 200 feet in a glass-enclosed elevator. See views of the power station’s hidden decks as you go down. Exhibits are set up along the 2,200-foot-long tunnel showing how the tunnel was created in 1901 using only lanterns, dynamite, pickaxes, and shovels.

Exit Point

The tunnel was an exit point for the water used in generating hydropower for more than a century. Your journey will take you along the same path traveled by water and lead you to a viewing platform where the water emptied into the Niagara River.
