- AMArea ManNov 17, 20255.0An incredible experience! Their new Fallout exhibit is very well done, and the scavenger hunt is fun! A can't miss location for any Atomic Tourist! Strongly recommend checking out the Ground Zero Theater! I only wish I could buy prints of some of these beautiful art pieces.
- SPStefanie PNov 16, 20251.0If I hadn’t seen the Lockheed Martin logo in the front of the museum I would have been so confused by the blatant propaganda, lack of context, and overall celebration of the many wrongs this country has committed with the nuclear program. Incredibly expensive for what it is as well. Do not waste your time or money. Glosses over or completely ignores important aspects of nuclear testing that need to be addressed.
- HJHeather JensenNov 15, 20255.0We visited during the 2025 Fallout Fan Celebration and the museum was definitely a highlight. They really leaned into the fandom being in town and created a great experience for fans of Fallout on top of the historical information. Would definitely recommend, fans of the franchise or not.
- EWEsther W.Nov 15, 20254.0Museum is interesting, but it’s actually very small. I don’t think it’s worth the money, but it was nice to have the staff there to explain things for us and if you do the game that you get a free drink at the end.
- DCDavid ColemanNov 12, 20255.0This is a fantastic place to visit. Lots of history and very well done. Tells the entire history of the nuclear program. If you like history - visit. If you take it all in it takes about 90 minutes to two hours to view. Oh, also - do NOT miss the video.
