Science comes alive to the common man at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. For a mere USD10 for adults, USD7 for children and those above 65 and military personnel with a valid ID, you can be awe-struck by the facts surrounding the atom bomb. Adjacent to the University of Nevada, this is an ideal place for students to assemble material for projects. Children under six are allowed in for free, so bring them along for an early lesson in awareness. The museum store has collectibles on display for those whod like a souvenir of this historic and scientific outing.

"My favorite part is the theater that recreates watching a test blast. There's this countdown until the "shockwave" reaches you, and when it does, it startles the bejesus out of you. There's a tone to the sound wave that's genuinely frightening, and you truly get the sense of how terrifying it must have been to be present for the real thing. The museum is pretty thorough in its explanations of how the tests were done. I've read reviews that say this can be walked to from the strip, but I wouldn't try it on a hot day. You'll be better off taking the CAT bus up and back."
