This was our last stop out of town and we learned so much going through this tour. It can take a couple of hours to go through if you want to read everything because it is interesting. My teenagers really enjoyed it but I think young children would be bored. More

A lot of information if you are interested in the nuclear testing that was done in Nevada and the surrounding area. My husband and I both enjoyed it. It is a mixture of video clips and displays with information to read. Don't waste your money on the extra charge to see Area 51...it doesn't even belong in that museum!! More

As my wife worked at the test site in the mid 60's, we both found the information to be accurate and interesting and well worth the admission.
