Hornblower Niagara Cruise
Take a boat ride to the base of Horseshoe Falls for an up-close experience of the roaring Falls. You can choose between the daytime cruise, which showcases the natural beauty of the Falls, and the evening cruise, which features the illumination of the Falls along with seasonal fireworks.
Skylon Tower
Located on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, Skylon Tower is a renowned observation tower offering spectacular views of Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The building stands 775 feet tall and features an indoor and outdoor observation deck accessible through glass-enclosed elevators.
Niagara’s Fury
In Niagara Parks’ 4D motion theater, you can experience this immersive, multi-sensory attraction that takes you back 10,000 years to when the Falls were formed. Niagara's Fury simulates the creation of Niagara Falls with moving platforms, water sprays, temperature changes, and surround sound.
Niagara SkyWheel
This giant Ferris wheel, standing at a height of 175 feet, offers spectacular views of Niagara Falls and the surrounding area from its climate-controlled gondolas. You get 8 to 12 minutes in the gondolas per ride. Take the ride in the evening for aerial views of the illumination of the Falls and fireworks above.
Illumination Tower
Every evening, Niagara Falls is lit up with a magnificent visual display of colors. This illumination takes place courtesy of lights housed in the Illumination Tower on the roof of Table Rock Centre. The nightly illumination of the Falls has been taking place since 1925.
Niagara Underground Power Station
Take up the unique opportunity to explore one of the first major hydroelectric power plants on the Canadian side of the Niagara River at the Niagara Underground Power Station. Learn how the power station harnesses energy from the Horseshoe Falls.

A glass-paneled elevator will take you 180 feet below to a 2,200-foot-long tunnel that leads to an observation deck at the river’s edge. Listening to the thundering of the Falls as you walk through the tunnel shows you the majesty and power of the Niagara Falls.
