The tour is worth every penny, in my opinion. I have done the power plant tour 3 times, and every time I come away with something new.

We went a few years ago. It's hard to realize how big it is until you go inside and see a truck for scale.

Those pics are fantastic. Of all things. The first construction worker and the last construction worker to die while on the project were father and son. They both died on the same DAY thirteen years apart.

Really interesting stuff, and I wasted about 2 hours looking at all the articles at the bottom about neat stuff like the construction of the Statue of Liberty and the world's tallest man (was 8'11" when he died! WOW!)
