When I was there back in February, I was asking them about it as well since work was progressing well on the elevator for the tail races. It unfortunately comes down to OHSA and fire codes - the staff were telling me that whenever the engineers go down to the lower levels, they need to do full fall protection. And they can't get an occupancy permit for those lower levels as they can't bring it up to fire codes. Apparently it'll be viewable while riding the elevator. I'll probably check it out later this summer. They did say they intend to open up the control room as part of the museum, but no timeline on that yet.
| I went with my daughter last weekend and really enjoyed it, I've been waiting for the tunnel to open up so I could get the whole experience. Many parts of the plant are still off limits, such as the control room, board room and every single area beneath the main hall. The entire inner forebay area is now the gift shop and sitting areas, but they did preserve some of the gates and that green hue water. The elevator ride is cool, it moves nice and slow so you can see the different levels and there is a light that shines from one side so you can get a good look. The tunnel is absolutely incredible, they have paved the entire bottom and cleared away loose bricks, added string lights and educational/historic info along the 2,200 foot long tunnel. There's still leaking water in some parts which just adds to the experience in the tunnel. The observation deck provides a view of the falls like never seen before, they raised it well above the highest possible water levels so there should be no concerns of flooding. I absolutely recommend this for anyone who likes cool shit!!!!
