Atomic Museum

I studied Nuclear Engineering in university and this museum was really cool to see. I was really surprised to see all of the history they had on display throughout the museum, along with the information they had documenting everything. Even if you're not into all-things-nuclear, I think you'd enjoy this museum. They make nuclear energy easy to understand and demonstrate in an interactive way how radiation works. We didn't need to buy tickets in advance and were able to go right into to see the exhibits. It's only a short distance away from the strip. I believe we spent just over an hour looking through all the exhibits and they have a nice gift shop at the end of the exhibit. Highly recommend if you're looking to do something off the strip!

This is one of the most amazing museums I have ever visited. It’s amazing how much information they have available about the process and history of the atom/hydrogen bomb. This is definitely worth visiting while in Las Vegas. It’s also a friendly family place. I thought I would be in and out in less then one hour but I ended spending about two hours reading and watching all of the information.

A very neat museum. It was neat to see recreations and training examples of atomic weapons including The Gadget, Fat Man, a B-57, a B-61, and even a backpack nuclear bomb. The museum is laid out in such a way that you walk through displays and galleries. There are lots of things to see and read. There are plenty of videos to watch. And there are many artifacts from the Nevada Test Site programs. There are two great galleries to see before going in. I highly recommend both, but the darker gallery which explores the elements, fission, fusion, and so forth is wonderful, especially for children. I was very pleased with this museum. And there was not a single slot machine in sight!

This place is always closed every time I go, and overpriced for what it offers. Closes for any kind of observed holiday, front door closes an hour early at 4pm even though the front door says 5. Also the cost of a ticket is WAY too high, 20$ even with promotion discount, for a one floor exhibit good for just 1-2 hours. It's short and not extremely interesting, mostly talks about the Nevada Testing site next to Area51, which you could just lookup yourself with an online search Been to museums that are more interesting, free and not driven by making a profit, go to those instead...

This place is the bomb! 💣 entertaining and historical review of atomic energy. Nevada played a huge role in our development of nuclear energy. Takes about 2 hours to view all of the exhibit. You will leave with a much greater respect for all those who were involved in the manhattan project. A fun afternoon nerd out after a few days on the strip 🤓 Thai restaurant across the street is the best in town, do make reservations as the restaurant is busy.
