Hoover Dam was built during the Depression and completed in 1935. Hoover Dam is a multipurpose reclamation project on the Colorado River, controlling floods, storing water for irrigation and providing generation of hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife habitat. This world-renowned structure has been rated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders. For the Discovery Tour, the age limits are adults (17-61 years), seniors (62+) juniors (7-16 years), US Military (adults & seniors) and children (0-6 years). The Powerplant Tour is wheelchair accessible, however, the Dam tour is not.
