"I like the name Atomic Kitten. It's so great."
For all of you with an inner geek for the nuclear age of the 50's & 60s', I would recommend this museum. There is a plethora of information to read about and some good videos here to capture your attention for a couple of hours. The focus here is on original sources, contemporary with when the events occurred, which in this history scholar's scorecard, is a no contest win. You will also enjoy the connections they made with pop culture and others changes occurring at the time.
The Area 51 exhibit is ok as it has some information I wasn't aware of previously. If you are really into the government conspiracy alien stuff, you will like this attraction. However, they set the expectations high for it, including a timed, guarded entrance and the payoff isn't there. Like one of those unknown streaming Netflix movies.
Tip: Look for the Groupon Now Deal! I saved $12 off instantly.
Pros:
- Its educational
- It's a good diversion from the ringing noise, blinding light, smoky, pokery world of Vegas
- It's reasonably priced for what you get
Cons:
- It could be more interactive
- There aren't many amenities, so eat before you go.
