  • The authority on nuclear history
  • Experience a simulated atomic blast

Humans have an affinity for using cherry bombs to blow things up, such as birthday cakes and musical instruments, but risk life and limb in doing so. For $12, today's Groupon lets you safely explore explosions with two general admission adult tickets to the Atomic Testing Museum (up to a $24 value), located just off the Vegas strip. Witness the scientific and social history surrounding atomic weaponry and learn about some of the world's most explody explosions.

The Atomic Testing Museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution and a purveyor of knowledge for the nuclear age. Learn about a world of desert bomb testings and the debate over the sociopolitical impact of atomic devices through informative exhibits, historical source material, and glass-case displays that would never endure an atomic bomb blast and the sweeping curtain of nuclear fall-out. Most famous is the museum's atomic-blasting simulation room, which lets you experience the physical tumult of an explosion without harm.

While the Greek theory of atomos promoted the notion of a particle of matter so tiny it couldn't be divided any further, the ancient Greeks were not yet aware of quarks, quasars, or museum tours. Museums are historical lodges whose pillars, floors, and gift shops provide a window that looks out onto the past. Understanding the first atomic bombs will put you ahead of the rest when the debate begins over futuristic iGrenades.

About Atomic Testing Museum

From Atomic Age culture to scientific and technological advances, the Museum highlights 70 years of nuclear testing. The end of the Cold War is depicted through a piece of the Berlin Wall, complete with the celebratory graffiti painted by Berliners when the wall came down. Two pieces of the World Trade Center signify the beginning of the Global War on Terror and how the Museum today plays a role in training first responders from across the nation who come to learn about the nuclear materials terrorists might use.

Don't get the audio guide. Too few placards and almost no additional useful information to be worth the extra cost.

This is a very well done museum. The displays and videos give the visitor a better understanding of the weapons race between the United States, Russia and China. One of the better museums to visit.

So much to see and read. Quite an interesting experience to read and see the exhibits chronicling the A bomb, H bomb and nuclear arms moratorium history. The tiny theater exhibit experience was awesome. Great fun visit!
