What families say

Families rate this a solid outing—kids can walk around, take in the huge scale of the dam, and see real history come to life, especially with the guided tour down to the turbines and lower levels where you watch a short film and see the engineering up close. It's noted as accessible for strollers, pregnant visitors, and those with disabilities, but plan for heat and a $10 parking fee, and budget extra time if you add the plant tour or bridge walk. Reviewers consistently loved the views and educational value, making it a great fit for older kids studying engineering or American history, though very young children may find the more technical tour details less engaging.

Ages 7–18
