Centrale électrique des parcs Niagara
The Niagara Parks Powerhouse, located near the Horseshoe Falls, offers a captivating adventure into the world of hydroelectricity. Visitors are invited to unravel the mysteries of this early 1900s building, which played a pioneering role in power generation. On the first level, exhibits reveal the secrets of this power station, offering an immersive experience for both guided tours and self-guided explorations.
The main attraction lies 180 feet underground, where a glass-paneled elevator descends into a 2,200-foot tunnel, culminating in a riverside observation platform. This historic tunnel, once used to carry water from the power station, offers visitors the opportunity to experience the ingenuity and power of hydroelectricity up close.
