There is no entrance fee to access the Hoover Dam itself; visitors can drive or walk onto the dam at no cost[1][3]. However, certain attractions and amenities require paid tickets:
- Visitor Center Admission: $15 per person. Children ages 3 and under are free[7].
- Guided Power Plant Tour: $25 for adults, $15 for ages 4-16, free for children 3 and under. This also includes access to the visitor center[7].
- Guided Dam Tour: $40 per person. This is the most comprehensive option and includes special behind-the-scenes areas; children 3 and under are free[7].
- Parking: $10 per vehicle in the main garage[3][7].
Visitors can choose among these options based on the level of access and experience they desire. The visitor center offers exhibits, a 3D model of the dam, and observation decks, while the various tours take you to areas such as the power plant, construction tunnels, and the interior sections of the dam[1][7]. Tickets can be purchased at the visitor center, and it is advisable to arrive early, as extended tour tickets may sell out[4].
