National Atomic Testing Museum

During the 1950s, mushroom clouds from the atmospheric nuclear tests could be seen for 100 miles.Testing at the location stopped in 1992. To learn more about atomic testing watch this C-SPAN video. Read more

Great museum ! If you’re into history, and especially Cold War history, you’ll love visiting. It’s not expansive but I’ll keep you entertained for at least two hours.

Confirmed my theory that humans are petty to the point of being ridiculous. Even the best minds we've produced, the likes of Einstein, can suggest we make bombs so we can kill each other. Oh well .

Great and interesting experience. This is a part of the Las Vegas history. It’s highly recommendable to visit this place and get knowledge from the times when A-bombs was part of everyday culture.

Museums are in short supply in Vegas (you can't have a slot machine in one, I guess) but this is well worth the effort. Fascinating insight into Nevada 's recent dark history .

Very information-dense! If anything about the history of nuclear testing, especially U.S.-centric history, interests you, expect to spend several hours here.

Good museum . Lots of interesting info. Not for short attention spans or children ; not a hands on place. Skip the area 51 exhibit : beyond cheesy!

Interesting museum about Nevada 's dark history with nuclear power . Don't miss the simulated atmospheric bomb blast.

Great tours . Get the atomic fire balls in the gift shop . 25 for $2.50. Gave it to the campers I was with. Burned their tounges and they couldn't talk. Best $2.50 ive ever spent.

It ways laid out well and very informative. Gave a great overall view of the history and current events of the test site .

Such a fascinating subject. Great exhibits , and detailed history.

An excellent overview of the Nevada Test Site , with artifacts and equipment dating back to the earliest experiments.

Since you’re near the Atomic Testing Museum , be sure to visit its Ground Zero Theatre , which gives you the chance to watch a simulated atmospheric nuclear test .

Follow up your visit here with a trip to Area 51!!

It was cool informative, big surprisingly for Vegas

The Area 51 exhibit has creepy, fascinating displays of ancient petroglyphs.

You can pause gambling now and experience the history and science here.

Great museum exploring the history of atomic testing in the USA. Far better than you'd expect a museum in Vegas to be. The Area 51 exhibit is odd, but is included in admission.

Don't pay extra for the area 51 exhibit . It is garbage compared the rest of the museum .

Skip the Area 51 part of the museum & just stick to the Atomic testing. (The Area 51 exhibit is a joke in itself & seems put together by a bunch of Staff members :/ sorry guys)

Go tour this unbiased re-telling of nuclear power and how Nevada 's 20th Century history evolved. Great for kids. Read more

The museum was very informative, accurate and thorough, however the “Area 51 Myth or Reality” exhibit was too heavy on the sensationalism and too thin on skepticism.

A great way to spend 90 minutes away from the strip if you're a science or history buff.

Champagne tastes better at the Atomic Testing Museum !!

Step away from the slot machines and table games in the casino for some historical entertainment.

Don't buy the Area 51 exhibit ticket. It's as cheesy as it sounds.

Avoid the Area 51 exhibit unless you're a parent of alien-fascinated children. Very cheap & kitschy

There is no cafe or restaurant take a picnic and use the car park

Interesting off-Strip attraction , well staffed and presented.

Interesting and scary. Make love, not war!

General museum was top notch! Area 51 was NOT worth the extra money.

Small museum . Nice but cramp.

Check groupon travel zoo or sites like that for discount passes

Lots of geekery in the gift shop !

Sorry. Skip this. It's dated, was probably cool in the 80's, but not in 2013. Also, v. domestically focused. One to skip. Clues were there, i.e. a museum in Vegas .....

Really awesome, but also very dense.

Too pricy for trivial and uninteresting presentation

Have a blast!

regents, don't cut women's studies!!!

something to do on a day off. $9 with student ID

Провели здесь 2,5 часа - супер музей ! Умолчали только о том, почему негласный лимит в 150 килотонн.

Отличное место чтобы увидеть из взгляд на события
