In 1884, construction on a new railroad station at Niagara Falls began. To pave the way, it was necessary to blow up the rocks that stood in the way.

The workers prepared dynamite: the first explosion, the second explosion. They began to explore the surroundings to make sure everything went well. One of them noticed a strange hole through which a person could crawl. First, one person descended into the cave, then another. And inside they found a surprise of incredible beauty! The Crystal Caves!

A huge number of crystals, covering all walls with a dense layer, created an unusual optical effect: you could see yourself as in refracted mirrors. At first, the workers were afraid that this was the work of evil forces. Then they invited more knowledgeable scientists, who found out that these were rock crystal deposits discovered by accident.

While the railway was being built, workers opened up more and more caves with such unusual walls. The result was a real maze. But since at that time, few people were interested in mining rock crystal, all the entrances to the cave were filled up immediately after the construction of the railway. This was done to ensure the safety of cargo and passenger transportation.

There was a big fire at this place a hundred years later. Part of the railway was completely destroyed. But at the same time, caves that were once filled with earth were discovered.

They were restored. And a fascinating attraction was created there: endless mazes, colorful corridors, unusual corners, and unexpected dead ends. All this is trimmed with rock crystal, which is still preserved in the caves. The indescribable refraction effect of the image makes the journey through this maze exciting and sometimes a little difficult for nerves: it is not clear when all these transitions, in which everything is reflected, will end. On the way, guests are greeted with working dolls, huge rats, and old carts with dynamite. These are probably the few landmarks that will help you complete the mirror maze.
