If you're into science you'll love this place. It's super nerdy, but in the best way possible. You'll learn about nuclear physics, the Manhattan Project, the history of nuclear weapons and the study of nuclear energy. Though the museum is small, it packs quite a punch.

DON'T MISS: The personal testimonies from people in Los Alamos, and the genetics tests. And in summers they often have activities for kids.
