    Besides the Discovery Center there is an elevator where great, unique views await at the bottom. Taking the elevator down to the water and looking up at the remains of the old power plants that used to be along the Niagara River ages ago is really cool. The stone walls and intakes are still visible. The maid of the mist boats are stored on the platform at the base of the elevator in winter but in summer you're able to walk in that area and view the river and the Rainbow Bridge from below. There's a small hiking trail that takes you along the Niagara river a short distance. There's another much longer hiking trail from the bottom that takes you along the gorge to the top. Or you can just take the elevator back up top.

    Only 3$ admission but it is a small building. Great if you want to see the history of how the falls came to be, types of rocks, etc. Nice stop if you're exploring. Across from the aquarium via a bridge and about a mile walk to the falls and prospect point.

    Wow!!! You can use the discovery pass to enter the aquarium. They have tons of marine species, best marine life to watch is jelly fish, sea lion show and penguin feeding. Find the right appropriate times and watch the shows there. It’s amazing.

    Very neat to see the history! The people working here were very nice. Some updates would really make this place a five star attraction. The gorge was awesome. I loved going down the elevator and seeing it all.

    A must visit place. If you are a history buff this is a place you will enjoy. There are demonstrations that's a blast from the past. Musket firing was my favorite.

    The center has an administration fee. Free parking. Nice landscape and gardening. Has a short trail(1.2mile?) and the trial head looks very attractive (has a bridge!). Has public restroom. sells the trolley ticket here. Located at the South of the Whirlpool Park and North of the Goat Island. Good starting point.

    Boring. The front staff was not very friendly and everything was outdated. Skip it. Next to the gorge is a brick building and you can descend down to the gorge for free.....see pictures :)
