  • We loved this tour! Very awaking experience, the pure size of the dam and the tunnels. Started in 1931 and finished in 1936 two years ahead of schedule. The tour was great and learned many things...

  • I have lived in this town for many years and have honestly never been. It is a must for BC folks or visitors. I love the film down at The Hoover Dam Lodge, but this one is on sooo much of the visual building and numbers. Wonderful. The interior info and authentic artifacts are very cool. Take young children from ages 4 and ⬆️⬆️. They will be entertained. It's FREE, by the way. We gave a monetary contribution at the end, to keep up the maintenance.
  • Well worth the visit. Great to see the displays and read the stories about the construction of the dam before visiting it. Definitely recommend making the stop. Nice cafe’s and restaurants around the museum as well. Free entrance through the hotel and ample free parking on the streets around the museum.
  • It is worth checking out if in town. One thing, it's free...yay...but it also great and you learn a lot of history about the dam. I love the hotel. It is like going back in time
  • This was a really cool place to visit. A real nice look into the history of the Hoover Dam and Boulder City. Well worth a stop during a trip to the Hoover Dam. The old pictures and films are really neat to see and the museum provides perspective on an extraordinary human project that transformed the West!!
  • Very fascinating and interesting museum, the best part is that it is free! The museum showcases how the Hoover Dam was constructed, as well as the history of Boulder City and the surrounding area. We spent about 45 minutes here, but can spend longer depending on how much you read and watch. Check them out!!
