Hoover Dam is not Disneyland
I’m surprised from recent reviews about just what people were thinking when they visited Hoover Dam. My wife and I took our 3 children to Hoover Dam en route from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon in August 2005. At no time did we expect it to be other than a visit to a major engineering achievement. It is not Disney Land or Universal Studios and if you want that don’t bother visiting. We felt the film to start off the tour was helpful and gave our children a good idea of what happened in its construction. The lift to the bottom where we listened to the tour guide and took our photos of the generators etc was good. The viewing gallery before you go out to the separate museum area was a good viewpoint. We did not spend more than 2 hours in total at Hoover Dam but left with lots of great pictures and a realisation of how significant its construction was - nothing else.
We took advantage of the posed photo by a backdrop before we went in and had refreshments in the cafe but enjoyed the visit for what it is.
I would recommend you visit but only do so if you appreciate what it can offer and it will not then disappoint.
