Hoover Dam Tours — Las Vegas Water Activities

Riepilogo Spotlight

Informazioni su questo Water Activity

Il Hoover Dam offre diverse opzioni per le visite, che vanno da quelle autoguidate fino al Visitor Center, a tour guidati immersivi che esplorano i tunnel e la centrale elettrica all'interno del dam. I visitatori possono camminare nei tunnel originali costruiti negli anni '30, salire in cima con gli storici ascensori, ammirare i generatori giganteschi e godere di viste a 360 gradi dalla terrazza di osservazione. Il sito è adatto alle famiglie per la maggior parte dei tour, anche se alcuni hanno limitazioni d'età e fisiche a causa degli ascensori e degli spazi chiusi.
