The visitor center was closed but you can still walk around and see things outside. There is a map in the window. The pond was beautiful.

Theres not much left of the Manhattan project that the public can get to normally. This place has photos and history displayed in one of the only remaining buildings from the project. To see the rest, you have to go on a tour that is generally only offered a couple times a year. To go on one, you need advance tickets and provide birth certificates and ID beforehand. Worth it to go behind the fence and see some of the original buildings though

I volunteered here years ago and loved being able to share the citys history with guests. I returned today and found a completely new interior with brand new exhibits. I was shocked! You can tell they worked hard to remodel the museum, though. Its easy to go through with tons of facts about the area. I really enjoyed it and Im glad to see it doing it well so many years later. I highly recommend it!

This is not open due to COVID. I seen it was showing open drove from Santa Fe. Some interesting scenery in the area, so the short drive wasn’t a total loss.

Newer NHP, glad the history is being preserved. Wish there was more of a critical consideration of events. Ranger station is small. Did the walking tour of the town. Multiple agencies involved in this preservation of history.

The history is interesting, and we enjoyed walking around seeing the sights and reading the plaques. The people are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Enjoyed this visit. Not exactly for children. More historical. Difficult to find. Make sure you know where your going. Hours are another thing to check.

Small, but very interesting historical site. Only cost $5 to get in and the Bradbury science museum down the street was free. One of the volunteers in the Bathe house was the grandaughter of one of the prominent people mentioned in the museum and shared some personal stories with us about Oppenheimer and the Agnews. Very interesting for people who enjoy learning about history and science.

Learned alot about the atomic bomb

Review №16

If youre in New Mexico this is well worth the drive north to see Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was developed. Excellent museum and various sights such as the Lodge where the famous scientists would gather. Its well up into the mountains, not out in the desert like depicted in the movies and tv.

This is a great, multi-building exhibit on the Manhattan Project. It was originally a boarding school and the museum takes you through its history from the school to a secret lab, to a world renown lab. Its a great tribute to science and its impact on society.

This is my childhood home, plenty of outdoor activities, with trails, bike paths, free tennis courts, to name a few. Several history museum in the town for the history buffs and plenty of things to do and see if your are a nature buff. If the monsoons are active (mid to late summer) plan you outdoor activities for the mornings and you indoor fun for the afternoon.

Guided tour was great, but you can also do a self-guided tour. Museums are also great. AND oh so beautiful. Worth the trip.

This way very well done. We had 3 7 year olds with us and had so much fun with the decoding project. We spent an hour and a half doing it.

Very interesting historical information. Some of the sites repeat information, but its definitely worth going to see everything!

We visited this area as a part of the walking tour. My grandson had wanted to visit for awhile and had a good basic understanding of the Manhattan Project. We both learned new things and have a deeper understanding of the development of nuclear engery, both as weapons and an engery resource. I had not considered the depth of commitment required by all involved. The fact that many of the wives played an active role as well as fulfilling their tradational roles as wives and mothers was not a big surprise.
