About Atomic Museum

Just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, the Atomic Museum offers a sobering and fascinating glimpse into America's nuclear history at the Nevada Test Site. This Smithsonian-affiliated institution chronicles over nine hundred nuclear detonations through declassified documents, original equipment, and powerful firsthand accounts from those who witnessed history.

Local Legends & Stories

For decades, residents of Las Vegas could see mushroom clouds rising from the test site visible from hotel rooftops on the Strip, making the atomic age a part of everyday life for thousands of Nevadans who lived in the shadow of the tests.

Overview

A few minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, and about as far from it in spirit as possible, this Smithsonian-affiliated museum tells the story of the Nevada Test Site — the desert basin where the United States detonated more than nine hundred nuclear devices over four decades.

Galleries move from the Manhattan Project through the years of atmospheric testing, when mushroom clouds were visible from Las Vegas hotel rooftops, into the Cold War and the eventual test bans. Declassified documents, radiation monitoring equipment, a section of the Berlin Wall and recorded testimony from scientists, soldiers and affected Downwinders fill the cases.

The Ground Zero Theater seats you inside a replica observation bunker for a simulated above-ground detonation, with the sound and the air-blast reproduced around you. The tone throughout is documentary rather than sensational, and it lingers for a long time afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

General admission includes access to all permanent galleries covering the Manhattan Project and Cold War, artifact displays like the Berlin Wall section, and entry to the Ground Zero Theater simulation.

Most visitors spend between 90 minutes and two hours walking through the historical galleries and experiencing the simulated bunker detonation in the Ground Zero Theater.

The simulation reproduces the sound and air-blast of an above-ground nuclear detonation, which includes sudden loud noises, intense flashing lights, and physical vibrations.

The museum is located at 755 E Flamingo Rd, just east of the Strip, and can be reached via a short rideshare trip, taxi, or by taking the RTC Route 202 bus.

While the museum is educational, the complex historical themes of nuclear warfare and the intense sensory experience of the Ground Zero Theater are better suited for older children and teenagers.

The facility is fully ADA compliant with ramp and elevator access to all galleries, and manual wheelchairs are available at the front desk on a first-come, first-served basis.

Arriving shortly after opening on a weekday morning offers the quietest experience before afternoon tour buses and school field trips arrive.

Large backpacks and oversized bags are not permitted in the galleries for security and artifact preservation reasons, but small purses and camera bags are allowed.

Yes, you can get your hand stamped at the front desk before exiting, which grants you same-day re-entry to the museum.

Non-flash photography is permitted in most of the permanent galleries for personal use, but recording is strictly prohibited inside the Ground Zero Theater.

About Atomic Museum

Plan for approximately 1 to 2 hours to thoroughly explore all the galleries and take in every exhibit at a comfortable pace.

Galleries move chronologically from the Manhattan Project through decades of testing in the Nevada desert to the politics of the Cold War and the eventual test-ban treaties. Exhibits mix declassified documents, test equipment, radiation monitoring gear, a section of the Berlin Wall and first-person accounts from the scientists, soldiers and ""Downwinders"" affected. The Ground Zero Theater seats guests in a replica observation bunker for a simulated atmospheric detonation, with sound and air-blast effects.

The tone is documentary rather than sensational, and much of the content is text-heavy, so it suits older children and adults more than young families. Allow around two hours. The museum sits in an office-district setting with free on-site parking, and its Smithsonian affiliation means the temporary exhibition programme changes regularly — worth checking what is showing when advising repeat visitors.

General admission is affordably priced with tickets available online or at the museum counter. Adult admission grants full access to all permanent galleries and current exhibits.
