Niagara Power Vista

Operated by the New York Power Authority, the visitors center packs two levels of hands-on exhibits about hydropower into a free admission day. On entry, everyone gets a power card lanyard to scan at exhibits, track progress, and collect interactive pictures, with a kiosk that prints your photo onto a sticker. A short 4D ride adds moving seats and a light mist. The observation deck overlooks the Niagara River, and some visitors find it easy to spend half a day without seeing everything. It also hosts community events and festivals throughout the year.
