Named after a well-known New York city planner, the Robert Moses Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station was America's largest source of hydropower when it was opened in 1961, and it's still an incredible sight to see. Visitors are welcome to marvel at the exterior of the plant, but tours of the interior are not available because of safety reasons. However, if you want to learn more about hydroelectricity and how it works, you can head to the Visitor's Center above the power plant to enjoy the interactive exhibits, watch some short educational videos, and stand 350 feet above the river on a glass-enclosed walkway.
