Hoover Dam

Included in the cost of your tour is an official Hoover Dam Power Plant tour provided by the Bureau of Reclamation that will bring you inside of the dam. On this 45 minute guided tour you will take a walk through the original construction tunnels, view a 10 minute movie about the history of the Hoover Dam, and visit a viewpoint overlooking a 30 foot (~9.14 meters) diameter penstock where you can feel the vibration created by water rushing through the pipe. After the power plant tour, we’ll give you an hour to visit the visitor center (included with your power plant tour ticket), gift shop, café, and explore the Hoover Dam. We’ll be nearby if you need anything while you take in everything that one of America’s Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders has to offer.
