I really like the educational video that you get to watch and I really like the people working there the only only complaint is it’s kind of expensive for what it is. Definitely would do it again if I got a better deal maybe a Groupon.

We loved this tour. The docent was very knowledgeable and really nice. He happily (and easily) answered our barrage of questions. After driving by the wind farm on the 10 a million times it was fascinating to see the wind turbines up close - they are so much bigger than they seem from the freeway. We took the golf cart guided tour and it was well worth the time and cost. Learned a lot and have a much better appreciation for wind power.

Very informative and fun to see wind turbines up close! Plus a nice little store with dates and drinks and tee shirts.
