The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, Albuquerque

I was excited to visit this museum as I am interested in science and especially in the history of the Cold War and the technological advances that were made as a result. This museum did not disappoint me in the slightest! There were a lot of great exhibits showing not only the military side of nuclear science, but also the medical and power generation applications of nuclear technology. The display of airplanes and missiles outside is also well worth viewing. I would highly recommend this museum to anyone who has an interest in history, nuclear science, or aircraft.

Way better than I expected. It wasn't very crowded for us on a Thursday. Tickets are good for 24 hours. Covers everything from the history, to war time use and peace time uses including quack medicine. Check out their website which will give you a really good idea if this is your cup of tea. Very educational.

It’s a very informative and educational place if you want to learn some nuclear knowledge as well as history. Love the layout and various contexts. Love the out door exhibits. Saw A real B52 first time. Tips: it could take up to a day to read all information and watch the videos. Allow yourself at least 2 hours to have a quick through.

This a great place for all ages. The educational area was for kids big😃 & small. My Granddaughter’s boyfriend pick this place out as his main place he wanted to see while visiting Albuquerque, so here we are. Year around this is a great inside venue. So much history good & bad. Past, present, & future of Nuclear industry. New Mexico strong history in Nuclear Science is found every where in this place. ** if you need them take your reading glasses. **embrace this place by watching the videos, read the placards, touch the items that you are allowed too, etc… This is a visual & hands on place. If you have family & friends visiting this is a must see museum. Even a playground outside to release some of your kids energy. Senior & Veteran discount

Blew expectations, so much history, replicas, pop culture section, informative green energy. So much to see, spend a couple hours there definitely. The art/drawing exhibit for a soldier during WW2 was cool to read and see all his sketches. Barely was able to get through half. Like 700 stories and photos? Crazy!
