We are from Austria and stayed in Revelstoke 2 days on our private tour through British Columbia. Our B&B host had recommended us to visit Revelstoke Dam and it is really worthwhile visiting. In Austria we have large water power stations as well, so we appreciated very much all the construction done in the 1980's. The Visitor Center has very...

Great visitor center - don't miss the video on the procurement of the fifth turbine! And please, CONSERVE!!!
The dam itself is most impressive and worth the entry fee of the visit. The visitor centre itself is a little disappointing though.

Glad we went to see this. VERY well set up. VERY educational. Note: You go through a check point, you cannot take cameras or bags, purses into the facility. Noted that some tourists did have their dogs on the premises, so that was good to see they were allowed on a hot day. Recommend you see this.
