Great place! Interesting historical displays. Fascinating collection if weapons and medicinal use gadgets. Well worth the standard admission!

Great museum to visit if you have any interest in Nuclear Science & History. The names of the exhibits will give you an idea of what you will learn about. They include Energy Encounter, Radiation 101,Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Cold War with a mock Cold War Fallout Shelter that is pretty cool, Decision To Drop, Pioneers of the Atom, and The... More

We really enjoyed this museum, although I only wish we had more time to spend there. The exhibits were done very well, and although my husband is a WWII buff, there were some things that even surprised him! :) If visiting Albuquerque, I would definitely make this a stop.

Made a trip to this museum while in Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta last October, and I m happy that we did. The museum has some very interesting and informative displays that cover the dawn of the nuclear age till present. On of my favorite displays were the static displays located outside, These displays were not fully finished when we... More

If nuclear science interests you, it is... More

Seriously, if you were into the mechanical aspects of the cold war, the docents (who mostly seem to be retired officers from that era) know a ton about it. Not as much physics as I would like to have seen (more societal-response type of stuff), but apparently I'm a nerd.

Small museum that contains information on one of the most significant events in the 1900's. It only takes about an hour, but it an important part of any visit to New Mexico.

If you are anywhere near Albuquerque, NM you have to go to this place! This place had so many things to see that took us back in time. We were constantly saying "Oh, remember this, or remember these?" I really enjoyed the nuclear medicine area. The shoe fitting fluoroscope was pretty mind boggling to me. My husband enjoyed to aircraft... More

This place was very cool. We spent about 2 hours there but could have easily stayed longer! I loved the way the museum was set up and my husband loved the planes and vehicles they had outside.
