What to See and Do in Niagara Falls

"Reopened in 2021 as an interactive museum, the former power plant traces a century of regional electrification and brings workers and machinery to life with projections in the turbine halls; I also took a hard-hat peek at the new experience that includes a glass elevator (opened July 2021) descending about 180 feet into the old Tailrace Tunnel so you can disembark at the bottom and stand on an outdoor platform for a striking new vantage point of the falls, and I returned later to experience Currents: Niagara’s Power Transformed, an immersive indoor light-and-sound show that further animates the site's history." - Heather Greenwood Davis Heather Greenwood Davis For more than 20 years, Heather Greenwood Davis has been sharing stories that connect travelers with the places they visit.
