DAM cool!!! It is consider one of the wonders of the world 🏰 and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Absolutely massive once you are right there at the dam looking over. DO THE EXTENDED TOUR! I would recommend spending the extra money on the extended tour, where you can actually go into the dam itself and see the inner workings of the dam! 🙌😬

I had seen multiple pictures of this dam and thought it was big, but this thing is HUGE!!! We did the tour that took us down inside and that was very informative. It’s also very interesting looking around in the museum and seeing all things they used and how they built it. Definitely a cool place to visit!!

This place is really cool. I didn't get the scope and size until I went there. It's huge! There is plenty of free parking. You do have to pass a security checkpoint to make sure you don't have any fire arms or drones. There are trails that lead to all kinds of places. I just passed through and checked it out, but would have loved to hike the trails.

An incredible experience and a must-see! The Hoover Dam is not only a massive engineering marvel but also offers stunning views of the Colorado River and surrounding landscape. The tours are informative, and the history behind it is fascinating. Definitely worth the drive from Vegas bring a camera and enjoy the scenery!

Man made marvel to prosperity. Hoover dam powers so many cities. All the labor and resources put into a wonderful place. Hats off to all the workers behind it.

What an awesome experience. Parking was easy, but did cost $10. The garage was roomy for bigger vehicles. The tour we wanted was first come first serve and we didn't get to attend. But we did do the power plant tour, which was interesting, but not sure I would attend again. Lots of picture opportunities. The gift shop was nice and had lots of options. If you plan to eat there, plan to wait and stand. The restaurant gets busy. They did have some grab and go options. Staff was super friendly.

One of the great engineering feats of the modern world, Hoover Dam is a sight to behold. Now easily bypassed by a bridge over the canyon compared to bygone days when you actually had to drive on the dam to get over the Colorado Diver, you should do the last stop rather than just take pictures while driving 75 miles an hour on the freeway. You’ll have to park and walk a bit compared to when I was a kid, but I would at least take the short tour of the facility to get a scope of its immenseness.
