Bradbury Science Museum

I recently visited the Bradbury Science Museum, and it was a very informative experience. The museum offers a detailed look into the science and history of the projects related to nuclear explosions. One of the highlights was a 15-minute informative video shown in their theater, which provided a great overview of the projects and their significance. The exhibits were well-organized, and the information was thorough, giving visitors a deep understanding of the work done at Los Alamos National Laboratory. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in science and history.

This is the place to visit in addition to the National Museum of Nuclear Science to learn about Nuclear science, what made the U.S. starting to develop those weapons during WW2 and how the science still used for energy development on top of other research been created at the National Laboratory up the road. The National Laboratory was an integral part for the development of Nuclear energy and applications today still a research facility for the development of other products and research. The Bradbury Science museum is phenomenal and free to visit. Highly interactive with plenty to learn and explore while there. We spend a few hours and had a great time. You also learn about the atomic bomb and the scientists behind it like Robert Oppenheimer and the National Laboratory. While in the area check out some of the locations from the movie Oppenheimer including the house where he lived, locations around the town and other areas around New Mexico where the movie was filmed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend it for the whole family.

The Bradbury Science Museum is a great educational experience. This museum is dedicated to everything regarding nuclear weapons. They gave plenty information about the history of the Manhattan project, nuclear weapons design, peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and current safeguards in place. There were two full size models of the “little boy” and “fat man” bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were also plenty of interactive simulations. Everything at the museum was free of charge. There is so much to learn and experience at the Bradbury Science Museum for people of all ages.

This is a great museum. Videos, histiruc documents, hands on lessons, artifacts. Great history of how the atomic bomb was created. Documents from Oppenheimer, Einstein Ferni, Roosevelt, and more. This is a very attractive, modern museum. And, there's a fun gift shop. IT'S FREE.

Super cool museum. Informative, interesting, interactive, and sobering! Nicely wheelchair accessible too. I appreciated that there was a changing table in the bathroom for larger kids/adults. That's really rare, in fact, this is my first time seeing it. It wasn't needed for us, but I'm sure it really makes a difference for some families.

A very nice museum within walking distance from the Oppenheimer statue and Manhattan project buildings. A nod to the current Los Alamos labs, and their work in nuclear science both civilian and military. Interesting to see both fat man and little boy. I think the museum in Albuquerque is better, it has a gadget replica as well as fat boy, but it has a replica of the tower, a real B52, numerous missiles and aircraft. The Bradbury museum has its place, and a friendly staff.

This is a must see for any history buff, the museum is very well done and there are some great artifacts. Los Alamos is an almost mythical place. I recommend going to Bandelier National Monumental first and driving in via 501. You actually get stopped at a gate before you enter town and are instructed not to photograph anything on the right side of the road. Adds to the mystique.

This was one of the best museums I have ever visited. Free admission, they just ask for your zip code. Sunday was a good day to visit since there weren’t a lot of people. I’d suggest to start with a 15 minute movie in auditorium to get to know overall history after which you will recognize items from the movie. Very friendly staff.
