Experience the thrill of Niagara Falls in Visakhapatnam
A slice of North America's natural wonder has made its way to RK Beach, as the Niagara Falls-themed exhibition at the Andhra University Grounds draws in crowds. Towering at 30 feet high and stretching 180 feet across, the artificial waterfall is the centrepiece of the month-long exhibition, offering visitors a chance to experience the thrill and majesty of the iconic falls right here in Visakhapatnam. Made at a cost of ₹40 lakhs, the elaborate set took nearly a month to construct. 'We use about four lakh litres of water every day, out of which 50,000 litres are recycled,' says Raja Reddy, proprietor of the exhibition. The flowing water, which falls into a four-feet-deep area, creates a continuous sprinkling and foam effect. On windy days, the foam gets carried into the air, adding to the excitement and offering a sensory experience to those standing nearby. The set has become a popular selfie point too. The waterfall isn't the only spectacle. A curated Mermaid Show featuring certified free divers from the Philippines has added a special touch to the exhibition. Dressed in mermaid costumes, the performers enchant audiences with their graceful underwater moves, capturing the imaginations of children and adults alike. In addition to this, a beautifully designed Kashmir set, complete with artificial snow, pine trees and scenic backdrops, offers a picturesque selfie spot for visitors. For thrill-seekers, the exhibition offers a variety of amusement rides that range from the heart-pounding to family-friendly. There are about 23 rides, including the Dropping Tower, Double Ranger, and Double Disc. 'Some of the rides use special equipment imported from Italy, which ensures both safety and enhanced performance,' says Rajay. More than 60 CCTV cameras have been installed to monitor crowd movement and ensure a safe environment for all visitors. The layout also includes ample walking space, shopping and snack stalls and resting areas for families looking to spend a leisurely evening by the seaside venue. The exhibition is open from 4pm to 10pm. Entry fee is ₹100.
