A unique, informative, self-guided tour

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a very well-designed audio tour. which you can customize to meet your group's need. We didn't have time to listen to all the details (and I was the only one who wanted to learn about the engineering, the RPMs, and the kilowatts), so we fast-forwarded through some parts of the audio. Fascinating to see how windmill technology has evolved. Some good photos. Some of the latest windmills resemble sculptures. Worth the money.

Take the PSP Windmill Tour! You'll love it

Published on Oct, 2024

Have wanted to do this tour for years and finally got around to it. Had the first appointment of the day and had the place all to ourselves, which was a real treat because we totally monopolized the staff with our questions. Spent a lot of time in the visitors' center looking at exhibits and photos. We really appreciated the knowledge of the staff and how patient they were with our questions. If you're at all curious about what all those windmills are doing and how they work, you won't be disappointed. Self-paced tour is nice because you can take all the time you want to look at things outside.
