Atomic Musueums
 
On my trip, I would like to visit an atomic museum. I am thinking of the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas or the National Atomic Museum in ABQ or the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos. Any good experiences with a particular museum? Is it worth going to see more than one? Thanks!

I suffered from serious head bobs in the one in ABQ. I was definitely bored there.

We actually really enjoyed the Bradbury in Los Alamos--If I recall, it was free.

We were visiting Santa Fe and had gone hiking at Bandelier, stopped in Los Alamos on our way home. Fun day.

The only "Atomic Museum" i ever had any desire to visit is the one in Hiroshima which I did about three weeks ago.

I know, not exactly the same but the displays in Japan were anything but head-bobbing inducing, that's for certain!

Thanks for the replies. I think from reading the reports I'll just go to the one in Los Alamos (and combine it with a trip to Bandelier!)

We like the Atomic Museum in Albuquerque; we haven't been to the one in Los Alamos yet, though.
