The 8,000-square-foot National Atomic Testing Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, unveils the fascinating history of the Nevada Test Site with a growing collection of permanent and special exhibitions just off the Strip. Boots quake as visitors experience a simulated atomic blast, and an exhibit on the Manhattan Project covers its rivalry with the competing Staten Island Gambit. Firsthand accounts of nuclear tests put museumgoers in the shoes of blast eyewitnesses, and a 6-foot I-beam from the wreckage of the World Trade Center adds a solemn, contemporary note. The museum’s brigade of volunteer tour guides acts as exhibit interpreters, encouraging hands-on exploration and teaching how to divide atoms using nothing more than a good set of kitchen cutlery. Though not included with this Groupon, the museum also recently opened an exhibit on Area 51.
