I would have killed to have lived close to an awesome park like this when my kids were little. Just huge - with tons of free parking. We saw: BMX track, 2 skate parks, duck ponds, water spouts for small kids, dog park, jungle gym, baseball fields, picnic tables, volleyball courts and I think a soccer field. All beautifully maintained. Tons of natural grass and beautiful trees. Way to go Boulder City!

This was a nice break 1/2 way between Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Artist did a great job with everything, our whole family had a good time. My only complaint is we went through it too quickly ????.

We took a round trip tour of Las Vegas, or if you are going to the Grand Canyon it is very worthwhile to know this gigantic and impressive dam is located between the states of Nevada and Arizona, in the city of Boulder City, about 50km from Las Vegas. , the size of the dam is huge, it dams the huge Lake Mead (Lake Mead National Recreation Area), the contrast between the water and the desert region is beautiful, these waters aided the development of the city of Las Vegas, you pass through this grand before arriving at Hoover Dam. And for those who enjoy cinema, it's worth mentioning that the movies Superman (1978), Transformers (2007) and Earthquake: The San Andreas Fault (2007) had scenes shot at Hoover Dam. We went by car, There are paid parking and free parking on site, to access the free parking, just go over the dam by car, and access the sites, before the dam has a paid parking building. Admission to the dam is free but controlled and the trick is to stop by the road to take pictures of the most beautiful spots on Lake Mead and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge until you reach the large parking pockets of Hoover Dam. Nevada-side, Arizona-side parking both cost $ 10 per vehicle, but those who don't mind walking a little further can go on to the smaller parking lots that are free. After parking your car, you can explore the Hoover Dam outside for free, or take one of the tours to visit the inner areas more deeply. Another attraction is crossing the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Bridge through the pedestrian platform: Be sure to cross the bridge (on foot and by car) the experiences are different and complementary. It was very interesting the tour, which yielded impressive photos.

Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum

The Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum is located in historic downtown Boulder City, inside the Boulder Dam Hotel. The Museum can be accessed on the first floor of the Hotel.

Reviewed By lisajK2101YO - Victoria, Canada

We stumbled upon this little free museum when we were exploring the city. It doesn't take a long time to walk through and it is just kind of a neat space to check out! I felt like it was actually a really cool extension of the hoover dam visit that we had just had. Would recommend stopping in if you're in Boulder City and would like a little more history or just a cool place to stop for something to do.

Came for the Santa Train. We got to see the model railroad set while we waited. Everything was decorated for Christmas! We got to meet Santa. There was hot chocolate and cookies. Such a memorable experience.
