The Niagara waterfall attraction
[Video 1: paste YouTube link of the waterfall here]
The main attraction is the waterfall setup. Water falls from a high structure onto a wide, sloping surface made of plastic tile sheets. Visitors try to climb part of the slope while the water pours down. Young people and kids love it, and it’s what the exhibition is built around.
Tip: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet, carry a change of clothes, and keep your phone and wallet safe. The slope is slippery, so hold children’s hands.
Kids’ play area and ride prices
The kids’ area has a trampoline, boat ride, giant wheel, merry-go-round and Columbus-style ride, a breakdance-style ride with moving seats, and a large inflated slide.

Tips before you go
- Go in the evening. The exhibition runs from 6 PM to 10 PM.
- It was very less crowded when I visited, so there was little waiting at the rides and stalls. Weekends will probably be busier.
- Carry cash in small notes, since rides, games and food are all extra beyond the ₹80 entry.
- Budget for rides: a child doing a few rides can spend ₹200–300 on top of entry.
- Plan for parking, as bike and car charges are extra.
- Watch children closely near the water slope and the rides.
Who should go?
The Niagara Exhibition is best for families with kids and young people who want an evening out in Kakinada. The waterfall climb is the main reason to go. [Add your own verdict: was it worth ₹80? What did you like most? Anything you’d skip?]
