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 at least 3-4 hours here to get through everything. We spent about 2 hours here as we arrived late in the day and we didn't get through all of the information. There is a small section regarding the people, animals and plants that were/are native to the test site area, however, the museum doesn't comment on their fate and, as noted by other reviewers, the tone of the museum is definitely pro-nuclear. In any event, the information provided in this museum is eye-opening and the way it is presented is not at all dry. Be aware that this is not a "hands on" museum so the target audience would really be adults or older teens. It should be noted that photographs may not be taken inside the museum.

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 attractions in the Southwest.. Whether you are from the United States or not, you should visit this museum because what is here affects us all.


Excellent!

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 the nuclear threats that the world has dealt with for the last 60 or so years.

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 Strip.
