Hoover Dam Tours — Las Vegas Water Activities

Spotlight-Zusammenfassung

Über diese Water Activity

Der Hoover-Staudamm bietet mehrere Tour-Optionen, von selbstgeführten Besuchen am Besucherzentrum bis hin zu intensiven geführten Touren durch die Innenbereiche der Tunnel und der Kraftwerke. Die Besucher können durch die originalen 1930er-Jahre-Bauwerke gehen, historische Aufzüge bis nach oben fahren, riesige Generatoren bewundern und von der Aussichtsplattform 360-Grad-Blicks genießen. Die meisten Touren sind familienfreundlich, allerdings haben einige altersbedingte Einschränkungen und körperliche Limitationen aufgrund der Aufzüge und geschlossenen Räume.
