Be sure to go late for night visit where you get to see a colorful, artistic, steamy, and musical visual art show take place inside the entire power plant. Somehow, by some miracle, and done by some geniuses whom somehow made show about history and a power plant very interesting and even enchanting. Somehow, learning about engineering and science was fascinating! The long tunnel walk sounds like chore, but its actually quite revitalizing and thrilling strolling through the vibrant colorful lights, and finally to the outside deck that is so crazy close Niagara Falls for some breathtaking beautiful views of waters. Again, go at night so you can see the waterfalls lit up by colorful lights. So magical! DO NOT DRIVE HERE! PARKING LOT IS $40!!!!! Take a uber/lyft or the bus.

What an incredible experience! We went at night, and parked in the adjacent parking lot. Sarah…read morehelped us buy the best ticket combination for parking and seeing the night show as well as tunnel. The night show inside the station was magical. It had moving pictures and music. We watched for awhile and then made our way to the elevator for the tunnel and viewing station. We went 180 feet down & it felt like 60° inside the tunnel, which is 1/2 mile long. It was freezing!! Upstairs it was in the high 80s. We took photos of the tunnel going in because it was so different. We loved looking at the multi colored lights on the falls which looked like the aurora borealis. On our walk through the tunnel going out I enjoyed the lights again. More photos! We did not take ponchos off. It was cold! They kept us warm. I took photo of rainbow in the tunnel. Got in the elevator to go up, and when we arrived upstairs it was warm!!! Ponchos off! Before leaving we went to the gift shop to purchase souvenirs. Best purchase? Tee shirt with BEST. DAY. EVER. on it. Because it was!

Take an elevator down to the shafts...walk through some narrow claustrophobic tunnels, wait in line to see Niagara Falls from behind through some small portals, which is interesting but disappointing at the same time. Finally walk out to the main balcony that is the very closest to the falls for some incredible and sensational views of the falls. Fortunately we were on a quiet weekday late afternoon, otherwise I think this would've been a disaster on a crowded weekend. $33CAD still seems steep for this experience, but it was included in my Niagara Falls Pass which makes it close to $20CAD, or $14USD, which I would say worth it.

Great view of horseshoe falls. The observation deck was a cool experience…read more They sell way too many tickets for each time frame and it was very crowded, which made the "behind the falls" experience a drag. Long lines everywhere, even before you get down there. Crowded elevators. Staff doesn't care if you're packed in like sardines. Also minus one star for forcing everyone to take a picture, printing them out, and just throwing them away unless you pay them money. At that point at least give out the examples. Ultimately, I think if you do one of the boat tours, you get a closer view of the falls, and this attraction isn't really needed.

This is time for something completely different! A couple of things - the walk starts at 8:30pm,…read morenot 7:45 or 8 like on an old picture that's posted. Additionally, it starts at 4337, not 4317 Queen St. prices remain the same, though. Our guide, Linda, was prompt at 8:30 for our small group of 8. Others who showed late decided to come another day. Linda is a history buff, but within her close to two-hour tour you learn she grew up in the area. As a young teen in the 70s, she would sneak out with her friends at night to get around the old buildings and spooky ghosts. She, later in life, would then cull a lot of public records and newspaper articles to learn the history of many of the old buildings and the stories about who owned them and who died in them. She then had something to say about each building we walked by. Some now owners don't want anything said, some have had tv shows feature them, and sometimes newer generation family members of those she had talked about on tour have been on the tour. There are some places she will not stand - she'll tell you on the tour why. Unfortunately, a lot of these formerly grand buildings have been abandoned for decades. Overall, Linda likes what she does, and knows what she is talking about. She tells her stories in a pleasant way and was very easygoing. She has been involved with séances, and has run overnight ghost haunts. I'm not so sure I'd be into that kind of thing. Maybe? So there are reported ghosts and sightings and feelings and haunts. Linda believes and will gladly tell you about it. It's cool. $65 Canadian including tip for 3 adults, 1 kid. Kids go to age 13.

I really like how the folks who organized the tour make it a point to talk to all the folks in the group to try and get to know where everyone is from and a little about the family. It felt personable and not like you're another body on their tour but that they genuinely want to know where their "guests " are from; not just another customer. I would recommend their tour to anyone looking to do one. Maid of the mist was the coolest experience! What a view of all the falls. Would recommend a camera with a handle of some sort. Horseshoe falls was windy and wet! I was worried about dropping my phone. A lot of people start pushing to get to the railing of the ship. Not everyone on the boat is from your tour group. We got on the boat and stood by the side rail of the boat to get the view. My son and I were standing there by ourselves and people start filling in. As you get close to the falls people push you out of the way to try and squeeze in to get their photo. We were literally pushed out of the way. Hence the reason I was worried about dropping my phone. Cave of the winds also an experience but not what I was expecting. Maybe I didn't do my research but, I thought it was something different. The staircase down to the falls was pretty cool, you really get a glimpse of how powerful the falls are. You're right up there next to the American fall, it was very wet and windy. I got a little nervous, if you drop anything, it's gone. Hard to take pictures with hurricane force winds and the amount of water coming at you. Definitely suggest a camera with some sort of a handle or something. Saw a certificate in a gift shop that said I survived the hurricane winds of cave of the winds...had I have known it was going to be what it was I might have chosen not to do this part of the tour. But at the same time it was a pretty cool experience. I have no regrets doing it, just wasn't expecting to get blasted and soaked by the falls!

They charged $120.00 per person plus hidden gas fee which they did not disclose. The cost to go on the attractions they are getting you on is close to $60.00 per person (Maid of the mist and Cave of Winds). The other attractions on their list cost is $0.00. Also, They said they will give you a 3 to 3 1/2 hour tour, our tour guide left after 1 1/2 hours because the attractions they are taking us to is FREE. It is not worth it.

Any grand illusions you had about maintaining a cute hairstyle or dry shoes will instantly evaporate into the blinding mist. The plastic protection only partially protects. The short and slowing moving boat slowly cruises past the American Falls, then onto the epic Horseshoe Falls and back in about 30 minutes...one of the best 30 minutes of my life. The America Falls is the foreplay, nice, gentler, and beautiful...but Horseshoe Falls is like a long lasting wet climax that shocks and electrifies your body soul. The sheer power of the water is undeniably humbling. By the time the boat turns around and brings you back to safety, you will emerge thoroughly soaked, wildly exhilarated, and oddly proud of surviving the world's wettest, slowest, and sexiest boat tour. $48 CAD / $35 USD isn't cheap, but worth every penny.

For CAD $48 (~$35 USD) you can sail to the heart of the Niagara Falls! Everyone is provided their signature red poncho to protect your belongings.

The views of the falls from up close were truly stunning and unforgettable! This is a must do when visiting the Niagara Falls! Don't miss out!
