Niagara Falls is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada and the United States.
And while its lush natural beauty has much to offer on its own, now it has an added experience. A 670-meter tunnel that is part of the old hydroelectric plant that used to work there.

The construction is more than a century old and just a few months ago in 2022 it opened its doors to receive visitors from the natural wonder.
This new attraction reveals an underground world never seen before and allows visitors to appreciate a panoramic view of the falls from the lookout located at the edge of the Niagara River.
For the first time, the newly constructed observation deck offers unprecedented access to a new perspective of the lower part of the niagara riverwith views of the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls.

”This is where the water from the tunnel empties into the river. It’s the best place to see the falls,” Marcelo Gruosso, senior director of engineering and operations for the Niagara Parks Commission, told CNN.
To enter, you must descend into the tunnel in a glass elevator 54 meters deep from the main generation floor.
There you will get an up-close look at the feat of engineering that was built in 1901 and was key to driving the progress of the United States and Canada.
