We visited with 4 kids ranging in age from 7-15. Everyone had a good time. We planned to stay an hour and ended up staying a few hours. We could have stayed longer, but got hungry. Haha. The exhibits are interactive and modern. There is s great view of the gorge, a 4D simulator ride, and 3 floors of interactive exhibits including informational quizzes, exercise bikes, hand gears, etc. walk through a smart house, learn about electricity, see what it was like to build the power authority and learn about the area. Free admission includes a smart badge that loads your pictures and points which you can access at home.

Basilica Of The National Shrine Of Our Lady Of Fatima

Reviewed By JGM418 - Buffalo, United States

Viewing all the international Nativity scenes that were just spectacular and talking with Father Roy was such an entertaining evening. Plus walking around the Festival of Light s on the grounds was enjoyable. However, the fish fry they offer - well we never got served because after paying and waiting an hour and a half to be served we asked for our money back because we were told it would still be another half hour for our dinners! No one told us that and come to find out they only have a couple fryers and people cooking! Go for the lights but say out of the cafeteria!

Freedom Crossing Monument

Reviewed By ams928 - Lewiston, United States

Monument on the Lewiston Waterfront commemorating Underground Railroad Conductors Harriet “Moses” Tubman & local resident Josiah Tyran helping slaves escape across the river to freedom in Canada. Many Lewiston residents at the time helped people to freedom and our community is proud of their history of helping slaves escape. Those who assisted runaway slaves risked jail and having all their property & possessions confiscated if they were discovered. This is a great opportunity to teach young children about how regular citizens stepped forth to help their fellow man. A great spot for a photo at a historic spot. This place along the waterfront is scenic and beautiful with a nice view of Canada. Spend a few moments to admire the scenery and the bravery of those who came before us. Take a photo to remind yourself freedom is not free, it has been fought for and earned for us all.
