    A quick grab and go spot. We got the spinach and feta pastry and the maple pecan pastry which were delicious.

  5. Walk · 30 min·
  6. ~5 minutes

    A good spot to stop and turn around on your walk by the water.

  7. Walk · 15 min·
  8. ~2 hours

    The Tunnel is cold! The signs suggest it was about 15C, and that was in the middle of summer.

    There is a Tesla Coil that goes off every hour around the 0:50 mark and it is loud if you aren't expecting it.

    This activity is included in the Plus and Premium Niagara Falls Pass or can be purchased individually.

    A now defunct Power Station, with exhibits such as a Tesla Coil demonstration, the Tunnel that leads to a platform with fantastic viewing of the falls, and a history on the science behind hydro delivered via self-guided audio. The first floor takes about an hour to go through, and the Tunnel takes less than 10 minutes to walk, without any stops, to the viewing platform.
