National Atomic Testing Museum Las Vegas reviews

This museum was amazing. The information displayed on the walls, as well as visuals such pictures or a bomb, was amazing. Interactive displays are available and you can watch mini videos that show the entire process of designing and testing. It is a must! !

This is a great way to get your hands on Nuclear Weapons.

Quit little museum. There is a lot to learn.

This museum is amazing. There are many hands-on exhibits. There are many movies. You can find a lot of historical information, such as the 1940s, 1950s, and other times. It taught me so many things that I did not know, and I lived it.

It is an oasis in the middle Vegas. It s well worth the trip if you like things such as this. Amazing display with lots of things to see and learn. It is part of Smithsonian so it is very well assembled. This gives you an excellent idea of the history behind the scenes from the 1940 s to the 1990 s.

It's very interesting. All you need to know about the atomic bombs. It was disappointing that the radiation effects on people were minimized by wind, which blew the radioactive fallout to states around the test sites. The unexpected consequences of testing should be acknowledged.

Lots of cool history and exhibits

Very informative

Excellent museum. Learned a lot about Manhattan Project, including the differences between different kinds of nuclear bombs and the timeframe of their development in America. It was also interesting to learn about international treaties.

This museum shows the history of and science behind the atomic bomb, which is quite different than the Atomic Bomb Museum of Hiroshima. Also underground and ocean experiments were performed and these tests had an enormous impact on the environment. The participants and their families were not listed much. It also featured interesting materials abou... see more

It was very interesting to learn about nuclear and atomic testing.

This is the place to be if you are a science lover.

This is interesting if you are interested. Not for everyone. But, good information was provided and the docents were extremely kind.

Atomic museum was amazing Plan on several hours Within the same building is an exhibit on area 51 and UFO Do not waste you time with this portion as it looks like it was faked

We paid half price with a Groupon 12 which definitely made it worth the value I m not even that interested in science for war or the history of Vegas but this was still interesting and all those aspects and more There is a countdown reenactment of an atomic bomb with a simulator of sounds and shake Pretty creepy Plus lots of atomic photos of ... see more

The museum has a lot of interesting exhibits but is let down by an extremely simplistic narrative Germany was trying to produce nuclear weapons and the US had to beat it to it The Japanese didn t surrender and needed to get nuked After the first nuking they still didn t surrender so they needed to be nuked again and then surrendered Voila Jo... see more

This was a very neat experience and very informative They had many displays They were interactive and a lot of videos to explain what we were doing during the Cold War etc i m a believer that if we don t learn from history we are bound to repeat it

We re the geeks who did the almost 2 mile walk from the Strip to wander through this museum for an hour and a half This place presents the science and history of the Atomic Age in a way that s approachable to most adults and older kids It is not a huge facility but they have many exhibits and videos to ponder Of course there s a gift shop at t... see more

There are several museums in the area and decided to give this one a try as it was the best rated overall There was plenty of free parking and we went on an off time so it wasn t too busy thankfully There is lots of information and some interactive displays Most of the information was things I ve already picked up over the years on the History ... see more

Very well designed and informative Definitely need at LEAST 2 hours there Amazing how much went into the nuclear program that nobody ever talked about

I expected this museum to be all about the initial atomic test but it turned out to be the entire history leading up to and including the Cold War I got to see a piece of the Berlin Wall I didn t even know it was there but I ve wanted to see one since the Wall came down Even very knowledgeable people are bound to learn some interesting t... see more

Outstanding exhibit superb customer service This is a nice balance between the past and the present This is a lesson in history while also showing us why peace is so important Free parking is offered in a very spacious one level parking lot Restrooms were extremely clean and well stocked This is an absolute must do if you are into intellectu... see more

We toured this museum as part of a conference in Las Vegas Cool but somewhat small museum They have several atomic bombs to look over and a plethora or information to look at We had a docent guide us through and he was informative and had plenty of stories It s certainly worth a visit

This museum is worth every penny. It offers a historical view of America's use of and development nuclear weapons.

It is a wonderful place. They have a wealth of data. You can spend hours looking through it. I had an amazing time and met very few people there.

This museum is interesting. I read a lot. I think I did more than expected. I also took pictures. I found it super fascinating and the museum has a great collection of Atomic and Nuclear artifacts and stuff.

You will find a lot of information at the national atomic test museum.

Nevada History: Very interesting pieces from the dawn of the Atomic Age. Native and early settler exhibits. A tour through the mid-century atomic testing and technology. Cool bomb replicas. Test sighting information and history. Multiple movie theatres. Interactive exhibits.
