- AMAbe Miller1 day ago5.0Well designed and very informative on the essentials of nuclear science and the (mostly) local history of atomic weapon development. Some current partnership with Bethesda games and their Fallout game franchise. (Fun)
- JKJesse Kosten1 day ago5.0Interesting collection of history and very grounding to reflect of the history of atomic power and the impact is has had. The shear amount of both creation of jobs / industry / scientific advancement and pure destruction is hard to contemplate.
- CNChase Nunes5 days ago5.0If you have always wanted to learn more about Atomic Testing? This is the place for you! Great exhibits on the history of testing and also the connections with Nevada, Las Vegas and the whole world! Really enjoyed it.
- JMJojo MichevJan 2, 20265.0Had a blast! Its super cool to see the history and real items from back then. And the new fallout attraction is cool. Little Easter eggs throughout the exhibits and then the photo op at the end with the store to buy stuff. They also have those penny press machines
- JRJamaal RobinsonDec 25, 20255.0J think I have 5 starts cause atomic history is awesome and I've seen the museum they have at the Nevada test site on the Test sites 50th anniversary where employers were able to bring 2 family members for a tour. We got to walk right up to the craters the bombs made (onc was almost a quarter mile wide and 300+ feet deep), and drive through survival city. I'll never forget that day as it was snowing too. Coolest stuff I've ever seen though. If this type of stuff interests you you'll love it.
