Niagara Falls is home to an engineering marvel - the Niagara Parks Power Station. Descend 180 feet underground to see the massive turbines that harnessed the power of the Falls and learn how this pioneering hydroelectric plant transformed the region into a hub of industry and progress. This 2,200-foot Tailrace tunnel experience leads to a never-before-seen view of the Falls.

Here’s everything about the Niagara Falls Power Station guided tour - inclusions, exhibits, and useful tips so you don’t miss this opportunity to explore this unique underground attraction.

What to expect on your Niagara Falls Power Station tour

Meet your guide at the Skylon Parking Lot B and begin your journey with sweeping views of Niagara Falls from atop Skylon Tower. Explore the history of this century-old hydroelectric power plant through repurposed artefacts, interactive displays, and original machinery, like the giant turbines designed by Nikola Tesla. Learn about  Ontario’s pioneering green energy project and get a glimpse of the early stages of power generation at Niagara Falls.

You will then go 180-feet down in a glass elevator to the historic half-mile tunnel. Walk to the end of the 100-year-old Tailrace tunnel to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Horseshoe Falls. The tour ends near The Tesla coil, where science, history, and technology converge to illuminate the Niagara Falls power station with impressive lightning arcs.

Our family is very happy with Steve, our tour guide. He did an incredible job; he was very kind, understanding, and fun. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the falls and interesting facts about the park. We 100% recommend the tour. And if Steve is your guide, you've earned a bonus. You're going to love it. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

We loved how our tour guide Brian showed us around the park and told us great stories about the area. We got a lot more out of our Cave of the Winds experience from having him lead us. Great fun!

The tour guide Stephen was really entertaining and informative. The Maid of The Mist boat ride was incredible. Even my 17 and 20 year old were in awe of Niagara Falls, and the shear power of the water, just amazing. The only negative was there wasn't clear instructions on where to meet the tour guide, my group along with 8 other people wandered around a few streets before we found where to meet!

Our tour and boat ride were awesome!! Billy, our tour guide had a great sense of humor and shared interesting historical tidbits. The boat ride itself was phenomenal. I booked it thinking it should be good, but wow was I glad that I did, it was so beautiful and exciting to see the falls right up close on the lake. Highly recommend doing this, I just with we had also booked the cave tour and trolley thing too, if the rest of this is anytime to go by I'm sure that would have been awesome too!
