Time of my visit: Noon
Total bill (with tax, but not including tip): $15.00
I must say, I was not expecting this! It was awesome!
As I arrived, there was a security check point, police, dogs and all, looking into my car, checking it out.
So, there were several options to park, one was for $10 in the garage (I should have done that, would have been an easy in and out, as well as would have saved me a lot of time!), another $10 parking down the road and free parking on the hill, in Arizona. Being cheap (on occasion), I opted out to park for free and make the walk down and take pictures.
Once, I arrived at the main building (where all the tours were starting from), there was another airport-like security check point. Once I got in, I had two tours options, one was just the Power Plant tour (the one I opted out for) and second one was more of a Full Tour with the access to the actual Dam ( for this one ,I would have had to wait for almost an hour).
First stop on the tour was a 10-minute viewing about the Dam. Once that was over, a tour guide took us down the elevator (about 30 stories down). We walked through the halls, as she was explaining how it was building. As we arrived to the Power Plant observation deck, I was impressed by the fact that those reactors were build some 80+ years ago and still were in excellent working condition!
After the tour, I went up to the observation deck to see the Dam from "up above". The view was memorizing!
My final stop was at the "Old Building", where there was another 10-minutes or so viewing.
Overall an A experience! Definitely worth checking out!
