It's only a $2 admission, so it's worth it to get a few snaps of the view of Stanford from above. There's a small little museum at the bottom. Maybe try to bring exact change as the person taking tickets when I was there was having a hard time breaking the $20s and $50s.
When you go up in Hoover Tower, one gets a nice view of the Campus. Its also one of the landmarks for the campus. There are also some historical museum displays.Parking can be an issue when you visit the campus. Its easier to take Cal Train and then take the Marguerite Shuttle to different areas of the campus.
Culture, heritage, view of the university .. there is a lot to see right from the top and well marked photos help place all the buildings together .. must see for everyone.
Interesting museum at the bottom amazing Bell "Organ" at the top!!!!And of course the view! To make the most of this trip up the tower ask your docent questions - They know lots!!! And if they don't have an answer they will find it for you! Be aware that back packs, food and drinks are not allowed up the tower and you will be asked to leave them at the bottom.
Love to take our visitors up there on a Clear Day for the overview of the Stanford University campus and surrounding area. Bargain!
Pay the $2 to take advantage of the views on top. On a clear day you not only get a good grasp of the campus but can see for miles I all directions.
A great view of Stanford campus and the surrounding area. On a clear day, you will see as far as San Francisco.
The Hoover Tower gives you a great view of the surrounding areas, but don't miss the Hoover museum room on the ground floor
For just one dollar you enter an extraordinary place with a library and elevator to the top of the campus. An iconic landmark visible from anywhere on campus, it offers a view of the campus that cannot be missed.
The view is unparalleled in the area, and the lobby is even more interesting. I feel for the folks who work on the tower's interim levels because there are few if any windows.
