TOUR DETAILS The Hoover Dam stands as a tribute to US ingenuity and engineering during a time of adversity and hardship. On the Hoover Dam Classic Guided Tour, you’ll gain remarkable views on, around and above this National Civil Engineering Landmark. Your Certified Interpretive Guide will pick you up at your hotel in a custom Pink Adventure Tour Trekker vehicle, designed to provide comfort and unobstructed views. You’ll see Lake Mead, the country’s largest man-made reservoir, and historic Boulder City, built to house dam workers. A visit to the Boulder Dam Museum inside the Boulder Dam Hotel gives the first look at the Hoover Dam story. The Hoover Dam is the shining gem of our tour; standing over 700 feet tall, it has the capacity to irrigate two million acres and provides power to southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Built over 4 years during the Great Depression, its creation provided thousands of jobs. A short walk on the 900-feet-tall Michael O’Callaghan—Pat Tillman Bridge provides a bird’s-eye view of the Dam; this is a view of the mighty dam as it holds back Lake Mead. Your Tour Trekker will then take you to the Arizona side of the dam, where you’ll see a spillway so large a World War II battleship could float through it; each spillway can handle the flow of Niagara Falls. The Hoover Dam is a National Historic Landmark, and has been a filming location for Hollywood hits like “Superman” (1978, Warner Bros.), “Viva La Vegas” (1964, MGM) and “Transformers” (2007, DreamWorks). Then, you can even walk along the dam itself. Whether you enjoy our Hoover Dam Classic Guided Tour in the morning or afternoon, you’ll never forget a visit to this engineering marvel. Our luxurious transportation and knowledgeable guides make this a trip custom-made for photo ops and lasting memories.

Las visitas al museo y al tour suelen durar alrededor de dos horas y media, concretamente 90 minutos para el tour y una hora para el museo. Aspectos destacados del nuevo Museo: Fantástico Nuevo Cine Dentro de las paredes del nuevo Museo Wimbledon Lawn Tennis hay un cine destacable. El cine cuenta con una pantalla de 200° que sumerge al espectador en el mundo de los torneos, mostrando una película sobre la ciencia del tenis. El rodaje tuvo lugar en la pista central durante el torneo de 2005, concretamente en el enfrentamiento entre la rusa Maria Sharapova y la española Nuria Llagostera. Graham English Productions utilizó una plataforma panorámica especial que utiliza 5 cámaras al mismo tiempo, el resultado de la cual es una película que puede ser congelada y se hace girar alrededor del campo de acción en cualquier momento. Usando esta técnica, la película se centra en 20 aspectos diferentes del partido y muestra a los televidentes cómo los órganos y el equipamiento de los jugadores se ven afectados durante el transcurso de un partido de tenis profesional. El fantasma de McEnroe fue visto en el Nuevo Museo Al juntar una vieja técnica denominada 'El Fantasma de Pepper' con la nueva tecnología de proyección y de filmación, el museo es capaz de crear una emocionante manera de ver una escena del pasado de Wimbledon. En una recreación del vestidor de caballeros en la década de 1980, un holograma de John McEnroe aparece y le lleva a través de un recorrido por la zona más allá de los límites. McEnroe rememora viejos recuerdos sobre el vestuario, incluyendo la manera en que conoció a Jimmy Connors y cómo se preparaba psicológicamente a sí mismo para los partidos. Las Ropas de Wimbledon Las modas de Wimbledon siguen siendo un punto de atención e importancia en la historia del tenis y el nuevo Museo de Wimbledon albergará una amplia colección de atuendos. Podrá ver de todo, desde la ropa usada en la década de 1880 hasta los pantalones Dri-Fit 'piratas' de Rafael Nadal. También hay una exposición interactiva donde podrá notar la diferencia de peso entre la ropa masculina y femenina de 1884. Nueva Tecnología Extraordinaria Consolas interactivas con pantalla táctil están distribuidas a lo largo de los pasillos del museo. Estos puntos de acceso a la información forman parte de las nuevas y excitantes tecnologías que encontrará en el Museo. Otros equipamientos son la rueda de raquetas rotativa "Get a Grip"; el juego 'El Reactor' y un archivo de los grandes partidos en torneos pasados, todos lo cuales podrán ser disfrutados por los visitantes de cualquier edad. Tour Los visitantes también podrán disfrutar de un tour por los terrenos de juego, dirigido por los guías especialmente entrenados de Blue Badge, y tendrá acceso a las áreas restringidas que normalmente están cerradas al público. Se incluye: • Pista nº 1 • Los jardines (Henman Hill) • El Millennium Building • La sala de prensa • El estudio de televisión de la BBC (o la pista central, si los trabajos de construcción lo permiten) • Entrada al museo Horarios de visita: Varían al largo del año.

Do you offer assistance for guests that have difficulty walking? Yes, Scooterbug Mobility provides electric scooter rentals on first come/first served basis. Do you offer strollers? Yes, Scooterbug Mobility provides stroller rentals for parents of small children or infants. What are the height requirements? Height requirements for the rides are located on the park maps, which can be found in the Orlando or Kissimmee sections of the web site. How much does it cost if I'm not riding anything? Our Free Admission means that there is NO Cost to come in and watch others enjoying the rides. So if you are not riding, you are not paying. It is FREE! Do I need an armband if all I am doing is driving my child on the go-karts? If a child is not tall enough to drive themselves on a ride/go-kart, then someone over 18 may drive them IF the driver has either an Armband (54+) OR a Chauffeur Armband which is only permits you to drive a child and only drive a child on rides they could not do without an adult. The cost of a Chauffeur Armband is only $9.95. Is the arcade included in the armband? Because you can win prizes the more you play certain arcade games, we do not have any unlimited arcade. With our arcade you pay per game with a Fun-E-Card you purchase. Game prices vary from $.25 to $2.00. Is the SkyCoaster ride included in the armband? The SkyCoaster is a unique, one of a kind ride. To ride the SkyCoaster by yourself, it costs $40, BUT if you have already purchased an Armband, you may include the SkyCoaster for only an additional $20. What happens when it rains? Fun Spot has lots of options when it rains. First of all we can offer you a rain check, if you have had an Armband for less than 90 minutes. So you can go and come another day. OR keep your Armband and wait until the rain ends and return to the park to continue riding and racing. We are open until Midnight. OR ride in the rain. Many rides stay open in the rain. How heavy the rain is, and whether or not there is lightning will determine which rides remain open. If you choose to stay, get a poncho from us. We value price them to make it attractive for you to stay. Can I bring in my own food? We do allow you to bring in your own birthday Cake if you are having a birthday celebration. Other than that we ask for no outside food or drink in our park. We are free admission, it is easy to leave the park and return after eating. Of course, once you see our fun food options, we hope to tempt you into staying and recharging here. Can I leave and come back? With Free Admission you may come and go as often as you would like. Your armbands will be good until Midnight. So if you leave at 3 pm and want to return at 9 pm, as long as your Armbands are still on your arms there is no additional charge. How much is it for my baby? For anyone who is not doing the rides, we are a FREE admission park. We do not recommend our rides for any child under 24 months. If your two year old only wants to do one carousel ride, it is $3 a ride. Speak with a manager if your child needs you to ride with them on one of our pre-school rides. So your baby is free, but if your toddler chooses to ride then they are a customer. Where are the restrooms? This is our most common question. Please check the park maps or ask any employee. We know we need to answer that question often and in person. Fun Spot America Theme Parks Drone Policy All drones (Unmanned Aerial Systems) are prohibited at (in) all Fun Spot America Theme Parks.

Visit the Whitney Museum On May 1, 2015, the Whitney Museum of American Art flicked on the lights and opened its doors at its new home in the Meatpacking District, sandwiched between the Hudson River and High Line Park. It’s been a huge hit ever since. The 220,000-square-foot (20,000-square-meter) space, designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, is a work of art in and of itself. The nine-floor museum consists of exhibition spaces, an education center, a reading room, a theater and a conservation lab. After checking out the impressive contemporary works (more than 21,000 paintings, sculptures, photos, drawings, videos and new media created by more than 3,000 artists in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries), be sure to head to the top-floor cafe for outstanding views of the Manhattan skyline. Or dine at Untitled, the outstanding in-house restaurant from acclaimed chef Michael Anthony. The permanent collection consists of works by American artists like Louise Bourgeois, Man Ray, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. See such pieces as Study for Nighthawks by Edward Hopper, Four Darks in Red by Mark Rothko and Number 27, 1950 by Jackson Pollock. The museum also houses several temporary exhibitions at any given time, from photographs to performances, by artists both old and up-and-coming. It's a great way to discover new artists on their way to becoming the next American masters. ENTRANCE The accessible path to the Whitney’s main entrance at 99 Gansevoort Street runs from Washington Street along the south side of the building, past the Museum's restaurant on the ground floor.
