The Dam Good Tour Prices & Hours

The Dam Good Tour is a 90-minute immersive bus tour through one of Austin's most dramatic yet least-known chapters. Aboard a climate-controlled bus equipped with surround-sound narration, riders experience the rise and fall of the Great Granite Dam: a massive 1893 structure that was supposed to turn Austin into an industrial powerhouse but instead collapsed under the Colorado River on April 7, 1900, resulting in catastrophic consequences.

Tours depart from Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill in downtown Austin, with private group bookings available for up to 30 people and extended run times of up to three hours. Here's what you need to know before you go.
