Atomic Museum Admission Ticket

Excellent museum. Could spend several hours. Staff friendly and helpful

Very informative and entertaining! We liked the expansive historical review and the Fallout exhibit!

A terrific and thorough look at the development and proliferation of atomic weapons with fantastic photos exhibits movies n more. Been coming to Vegas for yrs and nvr heard of it til now-but it’s just a fantastic way to spend several hrs

What a great experience! This place is very well done! Would definitely go back.

Interesting but sad to see. The gift at the end isnt worth it either.

The attraction office had no record of my ticket purchase. If I hadn't had my phone, which operated poorly in the desert, I would not have gotten in. The staff was gracious, but the system did not appear to be arranged for the ease of online registration guests.

Excellent experience. The dolce had a lot of great knowledge to share. Worth the trip.

Very interesting and amazing how people devoted their lives to protecting our country. Fascinating and very informative and all done in a great setup

Conveniently situated and easy to access, this museum features a well-paced, compact layout. The exhibits are highly educational, with interactive displays that are particularly compelling for high school students studying chemistry and physics. The focus on historical Nevada testing projects provides a stark look at the public's lack of awareness during that era. However, the experience leaves a sobering impression, raising unsettling questions about whether the cleanup of nuclear debris at these test sites was ever truly completed.

Very interesting museum. Staff was wonderful and welcoming. Great photo opportunities and the experience was interactive.

It was very educational and well-organized.

Very interesting, as a WW2 history buff it was fascinating, the thought process of the scientists and engineers involved is spectacular, excellent guides and highly recommended.

I learned about The Atomic Museum last year when they announced they would be hosting an exhibit honoring the video game series, Fallout. As a huge Fallout fan and someone generally interested in the atomic age I knew I needed to visit! The museum is extremely thorough and well-organized. There is so much information presented about a variety of topics; from The Manhattan Project, to the science of atoms and atomic energy, to the history of atomic testing in Nevada. And if one doesn't have the attentional capacity to take it all in, there are ways to learn about the various topics in a more condensed fashion. My favorite parts involved the pop culture elements and discussions of the impact of the various topics on surrounding residents and the overall American culture. The Fallout exhibit was fun as well and a nice treat at the end of the museum proper. There's even a little Fallout-related scavenger hunt. Although I of course wished the Fallout exhibit had been bigger, I know there was limited space. Quite glad I got the chance to visit. For anyone interested in history overall and the Atomic Age more specifically I would definitely recommend it!

Enjoyed the interactive encounter. Reading about the atom, protons and neutrons took me down memory lane.. science class. The periodic table, wow!

a great way to spend an afternoon. the museum is informative, interactive, and all around very interesting to look at. The fallout exhibit was a lot of fun too along with the scavenger hunt inside the museum itself.

The museum was interesting, but a bit repetitive. It’s worth the trip and explores a lesser known area of American history.

We visited this museum as a family. Quite interesting if you want to know about the early days of atomic bomb research and energy. Plus there was a separate ( but inside the same building) Manhattan Project display. Worth a visit to see how thinking has changed in nuclear thinking since the 1940's and 50's

This is a well thought out and planned museum. A must for any history buffs. The exhibits are fascinating and engaging.

This is not to be missed. It was one of my favorite museums anywhere. I think we spent about 6 hours here the day before our tour of the NNSS. I have a much greater appreciation about deterrence and how atomic weapons keep us safe by hopefully never being used.

I heard the museum was good but this blew me away. I think anyone over 60 who lived the Cold War will be fascinated to learn more about the science and politics behind nuclear weapons. The museum does a nice job making much of the science understandable for the lay person but there is lots of in depth material for geeks too. The scope and duration of decades of military driven development was hard to comprehend, not to mention the portion of GDP invested over all this time. Curatorially, they mostly stay fairly far away from the moral and ethical debates, presenting atomic energy as a fact and product of the world politics and history of the time. For light exposure, 1-2 hours, but if you are into it, lots of material here to fill 3-4 hours. At first I thought the admission fee was a bit high, but once I saw the museum, it is value for money. There is a huge amount of real history being preserved and presented here, and Nevada was ground zero for much of the story. To be clear, this is a quality museum about a serious social subject not a bit of Las Vegas entertainment.

The museum is excellent! The exhibits are well done and very interesting. The docents were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in our party throughly enjoyed the 2-3 hours we spent there - even my wife that doesn't typically like museums.

Wow, I was on atomic overload when I finished visiting this place! Lots of great info and details regarding nuclear bomb development and testing. I really liked the full size mockups of "The Gadget" and the "Fatboy" bomb. I also liked all the Fallout themed props. This seems to be a very popular attraction. Free parking available.

Spent a fascinating morning visiting the museum, there’s a lot to take in, but well worth the visit. Taking one through the development of the bomb in WWII, then on through the Cold War, and then on to the present. It’s staggering when taking in the magnitude of what was undertaken. A great alternative to the noisy casinos and the heat of the day.

I had watched Oppenheimer when it was in the movie theatres and decided to come here on a whim. This was a very interesting museum and definitely worth viisting. The guide walking the floor provided even more information. Recommend visiting this museum right down from the action of the Vegas Strip.

An interesting museum with traditional museum vibes. Maybe not as flashy as other places in the area, but still worth a visit.

Very informative museum, wonderful gallery’s with lots of information. Staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable.

A lot of information about much more than the atomic bombs are covered. The museum felt outdated and dull.

Very interesting things if you are a science person.my grandson is a physics teacher so he loved it. Interesting and sobering. But a must see if you’re engineering, science, type. Or a history buff.

My husband and I visited the Atomic Museum and it was eye opening! Though we already knew most of the history behind it, nothing prepared us for what we saw and read at this beautiful and well crafted museum. The pictures, the history, the details behind every artefact, every photograph, etc. this was a very enlightening experience for us, very rich in knowledge which we greatly appreciated.

Not cheap ($29) but good content. Split into sections: explains atomic energy; the atom bomb; the impact of nuclear testing on Nevada and Las Vegas ... lots of artefacts and films.

The Atomic Museum on East Flamingo Road gives a generally interesting overview of the development of atomic bomb and its impact on the world and even popular culture. Although I have a strong interest in history and the Cold War, I do not have a scientific background. So many if not most of the exhibits were too technical for my appreciation. We spent about 75 minutes at the museum. I would not say it was disappointing, but it was heavy on the scientific explanations almost to the point of being overwhelming. 

Look, the museum is expensive and specialized. It narrates the history of atomic bomb testing largely at the Nevada Test site near Las Vegas. Know in advance it both seriously documents and unapologetically celebrates that history. I am glad this museum exists and had an engaging time reading the exhibits. That even though it's now clear the testing program was overlong long, wasteful, and damaging ( look elsewhere for that history ). The USA is the most bombed nation on earth, and there were more than a few casualties from a program that was started under emergency conditions but continued due to "military intelligence". Look on "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" article "After 75 years, it’s time to clean Bikini" for more on the impact of the test program once it was determined to be too dirty to do in the Nevada Desert. By the way: they'll store your luggage including roller bags for free, and it's on the way to the airport.

I went not long after opening and found the museum to be uncrowded at that time, allowing me to easily access all of the exhibits. There was a lot of great information as well as many great exhibits. I purchased the optional audio headset to listen to narration about some exhibits. For me, this wasn't worthwhile, the narration was a little longwinded to my taste but I guess I have a short attention span.

Overall, this museum is comprehensive and well-presented. We hadn't planned to be with the guide, but it worked out that his narration was audible all the way through. The consensus of our party of 7 was that of a museum who done. However, there is one failing: The video. The moralizing and justifying of the entire nuclear program is quite one-sided, hanging on the fear that we would now be in a dictatorship if it wasn't for the cold war nuclear program. That is perhaps possible, although recent events show a domestic threat is more likely. It is good to make the argument that this program provided deterrence against those who threatened us with destruction especially the USSR. What went unaddressed was the actual costs of this program; robust estimates of early deaths from cancers and other diseases from both downwind effects of nuclear testing and nuclear workers' exposures. Our father was one of these fallen workers. Give people a balanced view to ponder.

Wonderful displays and having a docent go through the Oppenheimer display was "icing on the cake." Highly recommend spending more time in the Nevada Test Site display. Great for young people midschool age and up.

Ok museum, not particularly large but with displays of history of testing, particularly 828 tests at Nevada Test Site. I found the Atomic Weapons Museum in ABQ much more interesting. The $29 price (no cash accepted) is steep for what you see at the museum.

Fun stop for a change of pace off the strip. This museum is part of UNLV and very efficiently and well run. I soaked in the history and science behind the testing site in the 40’s and it was a lot to read, some great videos and even experiencing an atomic bomb. 1-2 hours is about right. When I went there were a couple of side experiences like a mini spy museum. I will take more of my family on my next visit

Had a good time at the museum. There was 3 separate parts to the museum and it was interactive. There is a portion where you watch a video of atomic testing and you can actually feel it!

Interested in the history of atomic energy or the mechanics of how it works? Then this is the museum for you! Very well done. Updated from my last trip to Las Vegas 9 years ago.

The Atomic museum was pretty cool. It's organized in a sequence of events from when the first bomb projects started all the way to today's era, and the agreement made by the nation's worldwide towards securing a safer environment. The museum had several displays that stick to your mind. It also had a lot of information about the many bomb projects, easy to read and follow.

I recently visited the Atomic Museum and was thoroughly captivated by the experience. The collection is impressive, showcasing a wide array of artifacts that tell the complex story of atomic energy and its history. I entered with a modest level of interest, but left having learned so much more than I expected about atomic bombs and testing. The exhibits were well-curated and engaging, striking a perfect balance between education and entertainment. I appreciated how they presented sensitive topics without it feeling overwhelming or dull. Every moment spent there felt worthwhile, making the journey out to the museum an enjoyable part of my day! Highly recommend it for anyone curious about this critical aspect of history.

Fun and informative tour of the history and contemporary state of the Nevada automatic testing site. Very cool cryptographic section and a section on the US atomic bomb development during WW2. Only wished it had some more sections for a longer visit.

Fascinating and informative museum. Lots to see and learn - everything from the Manhattan Project to rocket engines, test sites, and the science behind it all. Highly recommend.

Great museum!!! It's a piece of history; we enjoyed it and learned a lot. If you go to Vegas, this museum is a MUST SEE! It's very well organized and has great information about the atomic bomb before and after and about life in Las Vegas at that time. Museum exhibits and videos are great. We came by bus and that was an easy ride from the Strip.

As a all-in museum goer I have been to LV a number of times and not sure how I overlooked the Atomic Museum. It is easy to find, plenty of free parking, clean and well organized. It gives a great overview of the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear power in the 40's and 50's, and transitions well to what government agencies, several I had not heard of, are doing now.

Interesting and informative. Not many activities for younger children. We bought the listening device but forgot to play it at most of the stations. Self guided with a good progressive layout

Really interesting exhibits about the 60s, technological advancements and cultural movements. Displays were a good mix of interactive, text-based and multimedia and were very informative.

I learnt a lot about the nuclear history of the world and Nevada by visiting the museum. It was just the right size to spend an hour or so walking round. It was also good value

Very interesting. It was especially relevant, of course, to the area and so made the whole site even more so. The initial two introductory exhibitions were also good and the development of the atomic bomb exhibition with insights from Nagasaki and Hiroshima was poignant. It helps if you already have an interest in history (ww2 obviously and the cold war etc) or just history of the locality. We enjoyed it and learned a lot.
