Great little museum.nnWe wanted to see the Manhattan Project museum but a local couple advised us to come here instead. We really enjoyed learning and the short movie was very informative.nnWe didn't have time to visit the other museums in Los Alamos, so can compare from personal experience.
I wanted to visit this museum, and I dragged my family. I promised that we would only visit for one hour. After an hour, everyone was interested in looking around. We ended up spending over four hours looking at the exhibits. I had to drag everyone out so we wouldn't be late for our next stop. The hands-on exhibits were the biggest hit. Most museums have broken exhibits. Everything worked here. We checked out the exhibits and learned a lot. If it wasn't on the other side of the country, we'd surely return.
Great museum with very interesting history and genuine displays. Haven't been there for awhile but always had a good time checking out the updated exhibits and information. Good place to bring family, friends, visitors, etc. to see part of history most will never see or hear about.
We enjoyed an excellent tour around town by Georgia and then spent a good deal of time at the museum proper. So much to see! The women at the information desk were very helpful and gave us directions for an alternative route off the Mesa when 502 closed for an accident, and they recommended a great gelato place too. We look forward to bringing our niece and nephew back for the interactive exhibits!
I wouldn't dissuade passersby from visiting (it's free!), but the museum is probably due for some TLC. There's a fair number of broken or dated exhibits, while other exhibits are new and expensive-looking. What I found most surprising was the variation in stance - some displays are blatantly jingoistic or industry-driven, others are surprisingly honest about problems with how atomic research has been conducted historically. All in all, you get the sense that the museum has competing interests managing its upkeep.
