What kind of tickets to you need to walk on top of the hoover dam?

I saw online 2 types of tickets-The Hoover Dam Tour which includes going under the hoover dam, looking at it’s turbines and such, and I saw an area for visitors center tickets. Do I need to purchase the tour tickets to gain access on top of the hoover dam to walk across it? That’s all I want to do, just walk across it and see the beautiful view.

  1. You need to pay the National Park Service to enter the area. There is a little toll both at the entry point. Like $25. Then if you do not care about the tour of the generators and stuff. Walking on the dam roadway is free. There’s a parking charge, if memory serves me. Was a few years back.
    It is a great day.
    Also the squirrles are so tame there, that they will take candy and snacks from your hand.
    It is a great day.

  6. There is a road and walkway across the top of Hoover Dam and there is no charge to walk across. Take a look at vegasnature.com and click on the hoover dam picture to see a video about the dam.
