Ribbon Cutting Ceremony This Morning to Officially Open 'The Tunnel'

Newest Niagara Parks feature will open to the public July 1st

A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held this morning to open The Tunnel at the Niagara Parks Power Station.

Starting July 1st, visitors to The Tunnel will descend 180 feet below the generator hall in a glass-enclosed elevator, observing the many underground floors of the station on their way down to the historic tunnel.

For over a century, the power station’s spent waters flowed through this engineering marvel as it made its way back to the Niagara River.

Guests then take a 2,200-foot-long journey through the enormous tunnel to a brand new viewing platform providing what the NPC calls "never-before-seen panoramic views of Niagara Falls and the lower Niagara Gorge."

Access to the Tunnel is included with all regular admissions to the Niagara Parks Power Station, beginning July 1st, with adult tickets starting at $28.

Additional information and tickets can be found at niagaraparks.com/power.
