The 2200-foot-long tunnel under Niagara Power Station will open to the public on Canada Day.
Niagara Power Station which was completed in 1905, was the first major power plant on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. It was in operation until 2006.
In 2021, Niagara Parks transformed the decommissioned Power Station into an extraordinary multi-faceted experience for visitors showcasing the might of the Falls through immersive sound and light experience.
To augment the experience, you can now take a glass-enclosed elevator to the thrust deck level which is a level below the main floor. You will be able to walk .7 kilometres through a tunnel and see a fantastic view of the Niagara River and Niagara Falls.

During your visit, you can discover more about the incredible feat of engineering. You will be walking through the tunnel that once expelled waters into the lower Niagara River, right at the base of the Horseshoe Falls.
Niagara Parks has constructed a viewing platform at the end of the tunnel from where you can enjoy a new perspective of the lower Niagara River with unparalleled views of both the Horseshoe and American Falls.
The Tunnel experience is included with regular admission to the Niagara Parks Power Station.

I remember taking my grade 5 class to Niagara Falls 50 years ago my first year as a teacher. Our last stop was the power plant. Wow! So excited about what has been done now. Can hardly wait to see it. I am still teaching.
Would we be able to walk through the tunnel on June 30, if we purchase tickets for “after June 29”
