| - Okay, in the interests of full disclosure, I'm a TOTAL science nerd. I went here with my uncle, a retired High School Biology teacher and Naval Reserve Captain; and his girlfriend, a retired High School Spanish teacher. It was kind of a given that my uncle and I would like the place, but even his girlfriend found it interesting. My favorite bit was when I found the Geiger counters. I heard the interactive exhibit Geiger counter from a couple rooms away, and it drew me the way sirens supposedly lured sailors to their deaths. Never mind that I've WORKED with radioactivity, have used Geiger counters countless times, I was absolutely and completely entertained fooling with a Geiger counter and some radioactive materials (including some old red Fiesta Ware). I liked the rest of the museum, too.
I really, really, REALLY want to take the tour to the Nevada Test Site.
