annapolis tidal generating station印象

We love visiting industrial attractions, and this one -- although small -- was a gem. There was an interpreter available, who gave a short explanation of the station and who was very knowledgeable about power generation and this technology in particular. There is a nice observation deck both for viewing parts of the power plant and just for views in general. A pair of ospreys was nesting nearby and the observation deck allowed us an excellent watching opportunity.The tourism personnel were also very helpful in suggesting attractions and restaurants in the area. This info centre is definitely worth the stop.

This was on our to do list as it something we feel strongly about having a suitable river estuary almost on our doorstep. However, this is not likely to happen because lack of money and it will disturb the wildlife found on the river banks.We did not expect to taken underground so that was an added bonus. We spent a long time looking at the displays on the upper floor of the Station and asking questions so it was lucky for us that we were the only visitors at the time we chose to visit. The scale model was excellent.

For scientific types, this is an interesting place, and the tour is very honest about the technology and its limits. The location is also interesting. Worth a stop.

Excellent interpretative staff - informative, fun and engaging. This is a must and we could have spent the whole day there.

What an awesome place to stop. At first, I thought this was just for the guys (we were travelling as 2 couples). Wow, was I wrong. The information guide was incredibly informative and took us down the elevator to the "inside" of the dam. I learned so much. The guide spoke in plain English, easy to understand, and I came away (2 hours later) very, very pleased. It's definitely worth the time and effort to stop in here. Interesting story about the teenaged whale that made its way through the dam and how they had to "coax" it back out to the ocean.

Very helpful... wonderful! The various individuals would call ahead so you could directly to the B&B, etc owner.

The doors were just closing but they opened up for us specially and gave us a mini-tour. Very interesting and informative.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the generating station and we found it interesting how the electricity is generated using the tides.

There is very little to see in the observation deck but fortunately there is a guide who does an excellent job in explaining how the generating facility works. The guide is well versed in the facility history and in all of the work being done world wide to harness the power of the tide. A supine was when we were offered to visit the actually generating room. Donning hardhats and safety glasses we took the elevator down into the working area of the generating station. Very interesting.Only comment would be that mockups and digrms should be on display in the observation deck.

I knew nothing about tidal power, and our 'tour' was wonderful. Les answered all my environmental concerns, explained tidal power and the turbines, and while I am still skeptical, at least I have information. We got to go down to above the turbine. That was interesting (scary). Also has a great view.
