Reviews of Nikola Tesla Monument (Museum)

Predrag Cvetkovski

Small corner to honor the great mind

Dr. Shaunak Das

Nice monument. Pride of goat island and surrounding places. Just opposite to this memorial there is a way to terrapin point of Niagara falls. You can see the breathtaking view of horseshoe falls from this point.

Mrinal Singh

Forgot it was nikola fesla monument as i was busy watching the beautiful niagara galla.it should have been installed close to visitor center

Kelly Harris Johnson

Neat place rich in history. Beautiful views and clean facilities

Robert Summerfield

My favorite scientist ????

This is a beautiful tribute to a man who brought us so much. There is a QR code near by where visitors can learn about Nikola Tesla. I was sad to find out that they allow people to crawl and climb all over the statue. We were there for 10 minutes waiting patiently to take a picture of the statue while children climbed all over the statue. None of them knew anything about Tesla or bothered to read about him - neither did the parents we spoke with. Just a free time killer while they waited for the trolley to leave. It just made me sad. One of the guides at the park said that it was sad that they were allowed to climb all over the statue because of it the statue it wearing in spots.

A great place for pictures.

(Translated) The Nikola Tesla Bronze Monument, the work of sculptor Fran Krsinic, was erected in 1976 at Niagara Falls in New York State on the US side. The same monument is located in front of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade. (Original) Bronzani spomenik Nikoli Tesli, rad vajara Frana Kršinića, postavljen je 1976. godine na Nijagarinim vodopadima u državi Njujork, sa američke strane. Isti spomenik se nalazi ispred Elektrotehničkog fakulteta u Beogradu.

Ashley Teague

Love the view

N Bagga

The creator of Alternating current who helped design the first Hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls in collaboration with Westinghouse. Tesla was awesome. And people remember him with the all electric car company named after him.

Mahmoud Darwich

It is worth to drive to Niagara Falls

Dean Stobinski

It's a statue of Nikola Tesla. He just sat there. No dancing or anything. Did a great job being still. I looked for a tip jar but he didn't have one. What a great guy. 5 out of 5 stars would stare at the statue for hours again. I thought I saw him flinch but maybe not. I don't know. Drove from Ohio just to see it. Pretty cool. Oh and there's a cool waterfall nearby too.

Scott Bowman

Great photo opportunities. Worth a stop.to see.

Denny Piedra

(Translated) A beautiful place with a lot of history in between, it lacks a bit of information for the tourist but if someone knows about the history of Tesla he will know very well where he is standing. The statue is in my opinion not as impressive as the one in Canada but it also represents its value. (Original) Un bello lugar con mucha historia de por medio, carece un poco de información para el turista pero si alguien conoce de la historia de Tesla sabrá muy bien donde esta parado. La estatua es en mi criterio no es tan impresionante como la que esta en Canadá pero de igual manera representa su valor.

Beautiful memorial of an amazing man. Tesla doesn't get half the respect that he deserves. UNCLE GERRY'S TIP: Do yourself a favor my friends and google this man and learn as much as you can about him. You won't sorry, I promise!!!

Neil Pande

Respect to the man who changed the world forever…

Jeff Zingsheim

They removed the statue "for cleaning". No word on when it is expected to be returned. Very disappointed family!

Brett Doster

Incredible statue of the man that gifted us so much of modern life

Nick Politakis

Beautiful statue dedicated to someone that you don’t think of when you say Tesla these days.

Nikhil Madathil

Good memorial for the great Tesla

Jim Wellman

Another great view. If you came this far you might as well see the falls from every possible angle. Worth the short walk from the main visitor center.

Sean Malloy

An impressive large bronze statue of an impressive, not very large man...who was a giant. In the mid 1890’s, Nikola Tesla, a brilliant electrical engineer, developed a system of alternating current (AC) which enabled power from Niagara Falls to be transmitted great distances. The system was put into use on November 15,1896 when electric power was transmitted from Niagara Falls to Buffalo. Prior to Tesla’s discovery, electricity was sent by direct current (DC) no more than 100 yards, yielding only enough power to light a bulb. His invention of AC power changed the way electricity was used throughout the world!

A. S.

HE’S AWESOME!!! ????????????????????????????????

Joshua Beaulieu

Unbelievable statue of Nikola Tesla. I've never seen it's equal. Well deserved Monument for such a contributor to society

Vladimir Simić

A monument to one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. Thank you because you existed.

Ryan Cormack

How can you not like a monument like this.

Chris Bloomfield

Neat statue right by the Falls.

Jason Brewer

Tesla changed the world with his inventions.

BRANDON RESTAURO

stop clickbaiting people

Mr DaleyToYou

I look forward to going to Niagara Falls once per year. Everything we use today in technology and electronics was deigned and patented by Nikola Tesla

Valeria Riccardo

First - a brave genius, highly under recognized... OK he got to name an important unit. Second - a critical place in his quest to get AC going. Third - good location to place his statue, great views all around and you can feel the power of the water.

Cheng-Wei Wu

I good spot to overview American Falls

Trevor Whited

Beautiful Monument

Brandi Thornton

Nice monument. It was interesting learning some stuff.

James Strainer

This scientist/inventor needs more monuments and his achievements taught in school. Please read aloud the plaque to your kids and have them Google "alternating current" in the car on the way home.

Jan

The monument on the other side in Canada is a little bit "better" or more beautiful designed. They removed a big thing. Bad... :(

Tim Rambo

Excellent ????

Husky Wrestling

Fianlly get to say I sat in a tesla

This is an awesome statue for selfies

This is a surprisingly nice stop on Goat Island for Cave of the Winds with a good Tesla statue to meet up if anyone get lost!

Raghu Veer

The statue itself is great, however it would be nice if there was an explanation of who he actually and mention some of the things he did. Some people even confused him for Lincoln.

It was nice, I learned something new

David Borger Germann

Better than the band that shares his name.

It's a Cashtag not a hashtag... We are enjoying our hike of western NY ???? If it weren't for Nikola Tesla none of this electric stuff or cell phones would be possible.... Thanks DADDY! Traveling inspirational sign wavers... Living off of donations ~ $mileyourebeautiful

Edgar Munoz

Tesla, a man who is to be remembered as an important part of history and to many things we have today. Wonderful to find this statue and info at the park. Very inspiring. A must see for kids and adults who love history.

Joe Masters

Nikola Tesla looking out over the US side of the falls still longing to harness their power.

Tim O'Sullivan

A monument to a most important man who seems to get forgotten by the history books. Tesla is not just a car....

Ernesto suarez

Beautiful

(Translated) A monument in honor of Tesla for the years he worked in Niagara ... a highly deserved monument. (Original) Teslaren omenezko monumentu bat, Niagaran lan egin zuen urteengatik... oso merezitako monumentu bat.

E H

It's difficult to grade or rate such a thing as a monument, but the best way to judge the US side's Tesla sculpture is to compare it to the Canadian side's. The American side's is Tesla sitting with a book, thoughtful and pensive. The Canadian side has him in motion, with cane. Combined they honour the visionary that brought the 20th century to the Niagara region early, putting it on the map as much as the magnetic falls flanking these monuments.

Great place to visit,magnificent monument to one of the biggest scientist ever!!! So happy I had chance to visit it

Caleb Van Beck

Amazing monument and great views of the Falls. Some awesome history is explained here. There is a large tourist crowd but that is expected because Niagara Falls is a huge tourist attraction spot. Still a great place to go to view the Falls and take in some great scenery. Will definitely go back again!

Geeg Wiles

A hero to all!

The first alternating current power source which ran from Niagara Falls NY to Buffalo NY. BEFORE TESLA'S A.C. DESIGN EVERY THING WAS DIRECT CURRENT IN THE USA. HE MADE HISTORY.

Radha Padhy

Big fan of Nikola Tesla and seeing his famous statue was an amazing experience.

Unbanned

Well made monument of Nikola Tesla, with great views of the Naiagra Falls.

Ryan Grzes

A great monument to a great man with a great view of Niagara Falls on the American side! Thomas Edison can go pound salt!

James Schwartz

Great for pictures!

Josh Stucky

The legend!!! Perched atop the cliff between the American and Canadian falls looking out over his greatest achievement.

Jon Henderson

He needs a whole interactive museum but a monument is a start

James Wade

A nice tribute to someone who played a major role in the development of the early hydroelectric generators in the early Niagara dams. He seems to often be overlooked for his contributions to modern technology, so it's good that they at least have a statue of him here.

Thomas McGuire

Really enjoyed seeing the monument, but it doesn’t have any information or explanation of Tesla’s significants. I believe the monument in the Canadian side is a lot nicer, but you’ve got to have your passport to cross to see it.

Harish Prasanna

The man, the myth and the legend himself. Must see. Please don’t climb over the statue.

Erica Boyd

Absolutely beautiful

Luz Elena Baez Reyna

(Translated) Wonderful ... beautiful (Original) Maravilloso...bello

Nick S

A nice statue located near the American Falls just past the cave of the winds. It is near a great lookout point overlooking the falls and you can see the Canadian side on a clear day. It is easy to find via the maps located all over the park or just use your phone. A clean, well kept, well lit area that is worth a stop when visiting the falls given its proximity to viewing areas and attractions.

R G

Informative place and great place to Know about Niagara

William Shatt

It was shocking how good it was.

Bugs Bunny

Any monument to Tesla is a fabulous addition to society. However, in 1882 at the Munich Fair , which was dedicated to electricity, a hydro electric power station was built to provide power to the fair - so the claim on the notice about this being the worlds first hydro scheme appears a little inaccurate.

Victor HD

Pretty big statue it's really easy to climb up on to take a picture???? VHD

Ja Fe

We came here many times, just to worship the genius. Thank you for preparing the great statue.

JEREMY LEASURE

Loved this. Made my children and I research to learn more about Tesla's contributions.

Mary Motyka

It is wonderful to see so much emphasis on Tesla around Niagara. He frequently gets overlooked but contributed so much!!

John S

Great he was honored

S Norman

Nice monument of Nikola Tesla.

Chanchal

Nice park and viewing point for waterfalls. Relaxing place, having park benches.

Aaron D'Antona

A bit of a hike from lot 3 but worth it.

G W III

Cool statue smart guy

Robert Sekerak

It is a statue, if you are walking in the area, go see it!

Yannick X

Snd what a good idea to put a free charging station for electric car close to the monument. ????????

Mарија Радовић

Visited both! The one in Belgrade in front of the electrotechnical faculty and the one here.

Elizabeth Walterman

Left me wanting to see more. Crowded, it took a long time to get a photo because of all the kids climbing on it for person photos..

(Translated) A monument to a great man who contributed remarkably to us today using electric energy in all aspects of our lives. A person unknown to many. It is interesting to know his life and especially the rivalry he had with Edison. (Original) Un monumento a un grande que contribuyó notablemente a que hoy usemos la energía electrica en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas. Una persona desconocida por muchos. Es interesante conocer su vida y sobre todo la rivalidad que tuvo con Edison.

Jacob Blandford

It looks like he’s sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper but it’s still a fun fact to learn he helped design the hydroelectric power plant. A little extra info I wasn’t expecting to learn during my trip to Niagara Falls.

Cuando ella sea un poco mayor le diremos los grandes logros por los que Tesla es famosa. Hoy fue solo un día para ver las cataratas y los fuegos artificiales. Siempre nos encantan nuestros viajes a las cataratas.

Love the Tesla memorial located here.

Justin Tramber

Nice place to visit. This man was a great man to society. Without him we would not have what we have today in technology.

They moved it for construction reasons but their is no construction taking place where the statue was.
