A tunnel offering visitors a completely new view of Niagara Falls was recently opened.

Walking through the tunnel allows visitors to stand on an eye-level observation platform to see both sides of the falls, the Canadian and the American.

To see the stunning view, the elevator takes visitors 180 feet down under the historic Niagara Parks Power Station to the tunnel located beneath the Niagara Power Cathedral.

Visitors can then walk through the 2200-foot-long tunnel and exit onto a viewing platform at the river’s edge with views of the falls.

Marcelo Grosso, the station's engineering manager, said in a social media post: "The tunnel is an engineering marvel."

"You can feel it, you can smell the water, you can basically touch it. This is what you experience when you are on this platform."

Parts of the power station were opened last year for a sound and light show. The tunnel is the newest feature opened this summer.

The Niagara Parks Power Station is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. The admission fee is $28 for adults and $18.25 for children, or $37 for adults and $24 for children for those who want a full guided tour.
