National Museum of Nuclear Science & History

Could have spent a while day here, absorbing the displays!

We enjoyed the history section quite a bit, it 2as eye-opening to see the actual size of the WWII bombs. The Energy section was also very interesting, and informative. I would have loved to see a model demonstrating how the different energy sources create electricity. The two docents named Gary provided a lot of information and were fun to talk to. Thanks to them for adding to the experience

Lots of history of the atomic age. Inside and outside exibits.

Pretty cool. Takes a good hour and a half to two hours if you don't rush. The aircraft outside are an excellent bonus. They have a B-52 (which are still used even today), F-16 Falcon, and even Minuteman, Polaris - and several other - intercontinental ballistic missiles, in addition several other aircraft and shorter-ranged missiles. The sheer size of these things!

What a great museum. Not too big, easy to get through in a couple of hours. So much to learn about nuclear weapons, power, energy, etc. They currently have all interactive exhibits off limits due to covid-19. Whether or not you are in to science, it's a great place to check out.
