A recent visit to the atomic museum was interesting but just seems to be missing something like was printed by another reviewer.... Lots of reading, learning, etc.... but went on a Thursday afternoon... it just happened there were a bunch of school tours going on when we were there that took away from the experience.... it just wasn't that relaxed....with... more

The Atmoic Testing Museum is located on East Flamingo Rd. The museum is very fascinating, whether your a science buff or just looking for a way to spend a couple of hours outside the strip, this is the place for you. When you first pull up you'll notice the building is rather large, admission is on the right. You'll begin... more

My wife and i visited the Atomic Testing Museum during a recent trip to Vegas. We took a pleasant walk from the strip, down Flamingo, to the museum which took about 30 minutes each way, and easily found it inside the Desert Research Institute building. The museum looks well kept and is very modern and the exibits are all in... more

Interesting and informative museum. Had planned on stopping here all along but after hiking over strip during morning and also walking out here, not sure if the quality of the museum mattered or it was just getting into an air-conditioned facility to obtain relief from 100 degree temperature. Putting that aside, we really did like the museum, especially as an... more

I didn't really know what to expect going to this Museum -, maybe some weird guy’s basement all dolled up with a bunch of stuff he collected. But I was very wrong about that. First off, this was one of the swankiest museums I've ever been in. Everything is professionally done, clean, interactive, working, and interesting. You can tell a... more

I highly recommend a visit to this museum. There is a wealth of informational exhibits and videos including a fascinating video actually taken during atomic testing many years ago. The museum is well laid out so it is easy to find your way through all of the different sections. They do provide a museum map. You should plan to spend... more

This museum is very impressive. We could have stayed here most of a day because there is so much to see. We did have other obligations so we only stayed about two hours and hardly scratched the surface. You can tell an awful lot of planning, preparation, and time went into making this museum. This is one of the best... more

This is one of the few truly interesting educational attractions in Vegas. It brings back a lot of memories for those of us who grew up in the age of "fallout shelters", and sheds light on the testing programs which were carried out in Nevada. It also opens up the eyes of the younger generation today to the extent of... more

A nice cultural diversion from the strip. Admission was a bit pricey ($12 per person), but there's some fascinating stuff here. Interesting movies and exhibits. I would plan to stay for at least a couple of hours. Agree with other reviewers that the negative impact of testing was a bit glossed over. Overall, a good excuse to get off the... more
