Tour Melvin Price Lock & Dam

Cost: $5 (maybe? website says it is free, so I'm not sure where I got the $5 - maybe for a donation)
Last went: 2023
Will go again: 2033

I have separated the museum event from the Lock & Dam tour. The two events are same day - same place.

The National Great Rivers Museum is adjacent to the Melvin Price Lock & Dam. We will start at 10am with a look around the museum. I have scheduled a group tour for us at 11am of the Locks and Dam. Afterwards, if you need more time, you can spend more time at the museum. Any number can go to the museum; only 25 can go on the Lock and Dam tour.

In the Lock & Dam tour you may be lucky and see a barge go through the locks. This tour takes you up 80 feet to the top of the Lock.

If you are on the waitlist for the locks & dam tour, you can still visit the museum. If you don't get in to our private tour of the Locks & Dam at 11am, you can sign up to go on a public tour at noon.
