Was traveling with my 17 year old daughter this summer and we took the short detour off the main highway to Revelstoke Dam.
It was only 12.00 for both of us to tour the visitor information Center and go on the fast speed elevator ride to the top of the Dam. The views from the top were spectacular and we both enjoyed the information center.
In total everything took an hour, and we are glad we are 'detoured' for this pit- stop. Will recommended!
I have toured many dams so we skipped the tour but just driving up to the dam and walking around the parking lot was a real treat. A short ride for a very nice dam view.
Very much enjoyed the dam tour.... informative and interesting. Price is extremely reasonable! Tour guides and staff are knowledgeable and easy to understand. The outside tour portion is wonderful but not accessible to anyone who is in a wheelchair! Maybe Hydro can look at this issue, as we would love to bring our physically challenged son to experience the same as others who tour the dam! Otherwise it is a wonderful experience and worth the drive and admission!
Been many years since I had been to the Dam. One used to be able to tour deep inside to the turbines etc. Sadly this is no longer the case. General interest place but not someplace I would go out of my way to see again.
We visited the dam in the morning, spent about 1.5 hours, but we also did the guided tour which I highly recommend! The price is super cheap at $6 per adult and they offer a nice gift shop with a few items. The view from the dam is very nice and being right at it you get an impressive view of how big it actually is. Due to security reasons, purses and backpacks are not allowed but phones, cameras and tablets are.
